After a recent Berkley rally in which everyone who wasn't Antifa was beaten and harassed, including other liberals who didn't approve of their use of violence, and reporters who refused to follow their orders to stop filming in a public place, liberals are now Ramsey Snow tied to a chair being encircled by starved dogs.

All antifa does is create the best advertising possible for Republicans running for election next year.

Probably because the violence started showing up in their neighborhood- Liberals don't like it when their turf is suddenly getting an influx of violence from the same people they defend. It's similar to how George Clooney decided to flee from his home after migrants started showing up close to his home, right after he was pushing for open borders.

The violence has always been in their neighborhood, with the possible exception of Charlottesville. The real reason is because moderate Democrats have started complaining to city government about the violence. They have about 14 months before the 2018 election and the last thing that Democrat leadership wants is to re-create the 1980 election, where years of weak enforcement of the law against left-wing militants led to scores of Democrats defecting to the Republican law and order candidate.
 
This is probably :late: , but does no one in Antifa really not see the irony in everything they do?
 
I don't really think that the Democrats care about how it makes them look. As long as the Party can make $100,000,000 on every Jon Ossoff, win or lose, that's what they're doing regardless of what you or I or ANTIFA think.

Good. About time people see these rabid dogs for what they truly are. In a way, antifa is to the media what Brianna Wu was to Zoe Quinn and her CONsquad: a useful idiot that they could endorse and support, until they suddenly become unmanageable and a liability to keeping the narrative from unravelling; and now they're scrambling to distance themselves and backpedal from the liability.

To the Democrats? 2018? That's their big chance to finally get some kind of major "win" after being BTFO'ed hard in 2016. The sooner they distance themselves and condemn antifa and the black bloc, the better, but I suspect whatever they do now will be considered too little, too late. The sad thing is that some of these chucklefucks happily and/or quietly endorse these lunatics, until they have a pants-shitting moment upon realizing that antifarts could and probably will hurt their chances at re-relection in important House and Senate races in the 2018 midterms.

To centrists, moderates, and those leaning right of center? The silence from the Democrats and media on condemning antifa screams of implicit support of these goons. The longer they let them run rampant and cause destruction and chaos at these rallies, the more they drive people further and further away from their causes. You'll see more and more people adopt the "fake news" mantra and the media will become an even bigger joke than it is right now. Democrats will probably have to have some serious self-reflection and huge internal overhaul if they get BTFO'ed in '18, too.

I honestly feel sorry for the "sane" protestors at these things, like Heather Heyer. She wasn't antifa, and look what happened. You could argue that if it wasn't for antifa, she probably wouldn't have been killed by that alt-right douchebag. I fear that if antifa is allowed to continue, we may see more innocents like Heather caught in the crossfire.
 
At this point Antifa might not even need a host anymore, it's growing beyond the control of the left and becoming an entity all its own. Despite low approval ratings of Donald Trump they might just drive him to keep Congress, maybe even gain a few seats for the GOP.

Who knows, they might even help him win a second term.

Of course they are. Anyone remember how quickly media coverage of Occupy Wall Street dried up once it started getting closer to an actual election?

Honestly the only people I know who've defended antifa irl are people who heard the name 'anti facist' and thought it sounded like a good cause without knowing much about them.

Fascism by definition is a horrible thing and an even worse system of government and going by the definition of Fascism the majority of us posting here ( along with the average everyday people we encounter) are technically very anti Fascist. For ANTIFA on the surface what they are doing looks like a public service until people start reading into their antics and discover they are as bad and as, if not more, violent then the groups they oppose.

I know I'm preaching to the choir on this one but goddamn ANTIFA are making everyone look bad.

Anyone who thinks Democrats are going to win control over the Senate much less congress in the mid-terms is hitting their Bernie bong a little too hard.

There's twice as many Democrats up for re-election in the Senate and 75% of them are in states Trump won.

Democrats historically don't show up for mid term elections and they're platform hasn't evolved from "bubububut Trump..."
 
The sudden 180 worries me.

It's not like these articles condemning Anti-fucks came out one at a time in an organic way, rather they all got shat out on the same day using many of the same key phrases.

Talk about tweaking the narrative...but whose pulling the strings?

It seems pretty unlikely for them to get a majority with current tactics, but taking a clear stand against the maniacal elements of the left has the potential to be a Sister Souljah moment when they can get this albatross off their neck.

Sister Souljah was a militantly vile rapper who Bill Clinton called out by name during his campaign, clearly distancing himself and his campaign from the more reprehensible elements of his side and probably picking up a couple percentage points by doing so.

I had predicted early in the campaign that Hillary would do something of the sort during her campaign for precisely the same reason, but she bungled every opportunity to do this and instead married her campaign to the dumbest elements of the left, including the loons who were ranting about cartoon frogs and other trigger bullshit.

Shocking nobody who paid any attention, the fat tumblrina wing of the party, that never shows up to vote or do anything remotely useful, didn't show up to vote, thinking reeeeeing about Trump on tumblr was going to somehow count as voting, and the campaign drove moderate working class elements directly into Trump's arms.

Unequivocally condemning antifa terrorists removes the political obstacles to the cops actually doing their jobs in the future. They've been allowed to run amok largely because of useful idiot politicians running interference for them.

It is no longer just the "Nazis" who have had it with this bullshit. Anyone who wants to have a peaceful demonstration has had it with these psychos turning everything they show up to into a bloodbath.

All the media is linked one way or another, reporters tend to be an incestuous bunch so when something is popular it goes through the group like a hot curry through a short granny.

What's really pissed them off is the attitude towards reporters, anybody who so much as takes a selfie with in a mile of an anti-fa member instantly becomes a target, and this really fucks up there bottom line to allow them to cover the story in a way they like.

Just a personal addendum to this, have you ever noticed with that the anti-fa group miss the delicious irony of covering up there faces like some random bunch of criminals about to commit a crime as if they preemptively know that they are already guilty or are soon going to be guilty of something like common assault, or criminal trespass.
What pisses me off about this is people claiming the moral high ground refusing to commit their identity to the message.
 
This change in media beat does seem to coincide with the recent tendency of ANTIFA to assault reporters and play slinky with their cameras, doesn't it?

Or is that just a happy coincidence?

Funny, you didn't have a problem when the brick went through your neighbors window, because you didn't like him, he was probably secretly a Nazi, and nobody really got hurt.... but now they've moved onto your house and it's a major gang problem?

To be honest, I don't actually even care if they orchestrated this on purpose in response to that. Serves them right it took them getting bitchslapped themselves to wake up, but so long as they have, it's a good thing.

Considering how stupid and reactionary antifa is, this will accelerate their chimping out and they will probably amp up the assaults on journalists and make shit even worse for themselves.

Note: even BLM has turned on antifa now, because antifa is bad for their reputation.

I can't confirm 100% that it's related but a few days ago a video showed up on social media of half a dozen or so ANTIFA faggots beating an elderly Hispanic man who clubs and ironically enough homemade shields with "no hate" written on them. The articles condemning ANTIFA started showing up shortly after so I think even the most radical Democrats realized that supporting a group of largely white thugs beating up minorities wasn't going to go over well with them.
 
Attacking reporters started the grumbling, but attacking the anti-marxist rally (and their own kind) was the breaking point.

I likened them to the Nazi brownshirts in a previous thread, but they can also be compared the Chinese Red Guards as well - basically a mob that attacked anything that wasn't communist and needed to be dismantled by the military.
