Antifa, Proud Boys, etc etc etc


Jan 17, 2022, 7:34 PM

Mid 2021 to current, they’ve been awfully quiet don’t you think? Do they all only act out when a Republican is in office, or does the media only report their every move when a Republican is in office? Probably just a coincidence.

Seems I recall the proud boys were pretty active on an early day in Jan. 2021. Maybe it was just Trump and had nothing to do with the Pub/Dem thing??

Ok, I'll play, maybe it's because the insane Trump is out and things are returning to more normal and no cops have kneeled on the neck of a black man for 9+ minutes, resulting in his death??

Wrong - those people are the biggest threat to the USA, per the POTUS. He can't be wrong.

Re: Antifa, Proud Boys, etc etc etc

The main thing "antifa" has been doing is doxing proud boys and other white supremacists, getting them fired or evicted or arrested for Jan 6. Many of the ones that aren't in jail have shied away from public demonstrations without masks.

I'd prefer they stay out in the open so we know what they are doing. We don't need another oklahoma city.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So why the sudden tactic change?


Jan 17, 2022, 8:05 PM

All their riots weren’t supposedly about Trump. Did all their gripes in all those various cities get resolved?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Antifa usually came out only to oppose proud boys


Jan 18, 2022, 7:42 AM

And other fascists. That’s their philosophy. If the anti-fascists had fought harder, Hitler would never have come to power.

seems like it was usually a coin toss who showed up first.

Good story though.

Re: seems like it was usually a coin toss who showed up first.


Jan 18, 2022, 10:03 AM

Well, I rarely if ever saw Antifa go out to the countryside to start crap out in the sticks. They'd get their text alerts, put on the black, come out of their apartments, and walk three blocks for their Bum of the Month (or week, it seemed like, at least in Portland), and fun and fisticuffs would ensue.

Conversely, the Proud Boys or Patriot Prayer or whoever they were fighting, strangely, always seemed to be coming into the city.

I am no fan of Antifa - I think that lady who organized Disrupt J20 might be the most unhinged human I've ever seen in my life, makes Lauren Boebert come across flat sane - but the Fascists were definitely the visiting team in those clashes. They came a long way looking for trouble.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Ok, so either way


Jan 18, 2022, 10:20 AM

We agree that it wasn’t just Antifa coming out to oppose Proud Boys, as was previously stated.

There’s been this trend in America recently,

of random, armed white men showing up to enforce the law, with poorly-formed ideas about “duty,” and advancing white nationalism.

Here’s one example of a less-publicized event that predates Kyle Rittenhouse’s rush to defend a Kenosha used car lot with lethal force, but after the McMichaels murdered Ahmad Arbery for peeking in a construction site. Thankfully this one didn’t end in death, but it was dangerously close… all thanks to a far-right tweet:

They should tell the proud boys that their leader is a minority. They’d be sore about that.

Well, some of them did notice. And tried to oust him. They would not "cuck to the left by appointing token negroes as their leaders."

They’re just political armies

If there’s no election or no huge political battle they’re not useful. 2023 we will see these armies raised again. Maybe under different names, but raised all the same.

They don't act out when a Republican is in office


Jan 18, 2022, 8:53 AM

They act out when we have the worst president in modern history trying to erode democracy in favor of a fascist dictatorship and pretending he's a "conservative Republican" while duping naive simpletons into thinking he's that as well as a good president.

I hope that answers the question.

BLM and Antifa are just cooling their heels for now...


Jan 18, 2022, 9:16 AM

Just wait until Summer 2022 at which time BLM and Antifa will get cranked up again and carry-on through to the mid-terms. These Marxist/anarchist movements will do their best to stir up their base in an effort to blunt the red tsunami that is coming in November 2022.

Problem with your conspiracy theory


Jan 18, 2022, 10:00 AM

If "the media" is ignoring it, why is it also being ignored by Fox News, Newsmax, and all the other wacko right-wing outlets?

I was asking a question. It’s pretty binary….are they less active or less publicized? Could be either one in my book. Not every post is something to be disproven.

I was asking a question.

You answered your own question: "Probably just a coincidence." Do you really think it's just a coincidence? I was somehow inferring a touch of sarcasm in that answer, meaning it's not a coincidence, and I'm responding to that.

The sarcasm applied to either option.

I legitimately wasn’t putting all my chips on one or the other. If the sarcasm diluted the clarity of my point, then my apologies.

Understood. Well, I found an article suggesting that Antifa has changed its behavior. Can't find anything on the Proud Boys other than the recent arrests for Jan. 6 stuff.

The others don’t have true news organizations. For real news, they depend on re-reporting stories from CNN, the networks, Reuters, and AP. They just don’t have enough skilled people. Fox does get some help from affiliates, but the real news organization in that building is down the stairs at WSJ.
