Quo Vadis, Democrats?

[Valmy]

Given the shooter was a Republican, it is ripe for conspiracies. A sort of anti-Kennedy.

Both the guys who tried to assassinate him were MAGA and wanted to kill him for rather insane and paranoid reasons. What a fucking crazy insane country I live in.

Who'd have thought echo chambers on social media could lead people to insane acts of violence?

With regards from Norway, who lost around 70 people from a lone wolf attack July 22nd 2011.

I just wonder when we're going to start seeing leftwing echo chambers on social media that promote violence.

I think we're a good way there since the CEO murder.  The gleeful approval of that murder all over Reddit broke a fundamental psychological barrier, IMO.

Isn't Antifa pretty pro violence?

I already see that on Facebook.

[Norgy]

Yeah. Raz is right, unfortunately. But it's more fistfight than AK-47s.

[Razgovory]

Mostly it's people celebrating the murders of CEOs and Israelis.

trump is percentage man: a percent here, another there and then suddenly he wins and everything is fucked up

[Valmy]

Yeah ok I have been told for years and years and years that dangerous antifa leftwing militias are going to seize power any second. Yet the only thugs I see seizing power are right wing guys.

But keep spreading your panic mongering bullshit, I am sure it will happen eventually.

[Norgy]

Antifa will never be a threat to anything but their own members.
They are basically a bunch of people with the organisational potential of four year olds playing soccer.

Most are anarchists, and at best they might manage to throw a strongly worded message in a bottle at some over-equipped super policeman spraying them down with mace.

My only surprise was that it hadn't happened sooner or in greater numbers.

[Josquius]

Reddit as a left wing echo chamber though?

I wouldn't go far as to call it an echo chamber but it is quite the hive of toxic far right nonsense.

How are anti fascists a danger to themselves?


What support do you have for your claim that most anti fascists are anarchists?

[Norgy]

Antifa is a loose term and not very organised. At least in the places I know.

The violent right is more organised, and have taken a leaf of Lenin's "vanguard" lessons.

Thus, yes, I think they are more a danger to themselves going up against various more and more organised right-wing groups. And no, I am not talking about college campuses, but in 1930s style street fighting.

My evidence is fairly scarce, but since I have been affiliated with various left-wing groups in the past, I know a little about the ability to splinter even the tiniest group. "Judean People's Front" vs "People's Front of Judea".
