Antifa is a loosely organized group of like minded individuals. There is no official membership, it’s an ideology welcome to any who share this world view. They develop tactics to intimidate and silence their opponents and help each other cover illegal and immoral behavior. This can be hitting people in the head with bike locks, throwing cups full of cement, lighting buildings on fire, and other destructive behavior. They wear black bloc and cover their faces so as not to be easily identifiable. They claim to be the good guys “fighting Nazis”, but really they’re a bunch of thuggish larpers with social behavior conditions and a lack of morals. I have hours and hours of video footage of Antifa individuals perpetrating violent and destructive acts against those they disagree with. They lean heavily into the untrue sentiment that they aren’t an organization as it allows them to side step any kind of legal accountability. In reality they operate sort of like sleeper cells in different regions protesting, rioting, stoking the flames to silence their political opponents. They’re scum.

The left loves Antifa because they can use it as cover for illegal behavior. It’s convenient that you continue to claim Antifa doesn’t exist, yet you all coordinate with each other in breaking the law. Hard to coordinate with something that doesn’t exist.

I mean his DNA was found on the gun, there’s a slew of text messages, handwritten notes, and video evidence showing that it was him, but I suppose a Republican could have broken into his house, stolen his DNA, planted incriminating messages, and borrowed his clothing. At this point we really just don’t know, anything is possible.

“He’s talking about hatred towards the Right, not the Left”

-Lemmy communist attempting to cope

I feel like we have a pretty definitive understanding of his motivations. This is directly from Tyler when discussing why he did it, “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.” Where is the ambiguity in this?

What are your reasons for thinking he was on the Right?

My understanding is that everyone who has publicly spoken about him has indicated that while he was raised in a Republican family, he himself held strong Left views. His friends/classmates have indicated he had become very vocal about this and regularly got into arguments over it. He was in a relationship with a trans individual which is a decidedly Left behavior. More than that he murdered a Republican poster boy because of his ideology (as indicated by Tyler himself).

This is demonstrably false. California has some of the highest teacher salaries yet routinely rates low on academic performance.

You forgot “more humble”.

You’re talking about the Uyghur genocide right?

Lol great argument

I have no issue whatsoever with legalizing drug use. I don’t think it should be criminal. I also don’t think I should be forced to pay for anyone unwilling to get treatment. If you want treatment, great we’re here to help and support you. If you don’t want treatment, then that’s your decision, but we’re not going to bankroll your habit. Why is that controversial?

Lol it’s so stupid to me that you think anyone who disagrees with you is “evil”. Good thing you’ve taken the opportunity to tell us though so now we can all hold you in super high esteem. You should be proud of how much virtue you have.

Seriously though, people like you advocate for giving out clean needles to drug users because it’s the “kind” thing to do. You don’t want to stigmatize them and you don’t think they’re capable of doing the hard work necessary to better their situation. Unfortunately all it does is enable their self destructive behavior. Junkies are made, drug paraphernalia is used as currency on the street, communities suffer. That isn’t compassion, it’s horrifying. People like me advocate for personal responsibility, some discomfort in the short term, and hard work, not because we’re evil, but because we think they’re capable of more. We know that discomfort and responsibility are the path to bettering oneself. We don’t want them to have to do it on their own, but we do want a level of commitment and some skin in the game. Literally nothing about that is evil. Evil is letting people waste away because you would rather virtue signal and allow them to make the same bad decisions that got them to that point in the first place. Evil is thinking them incapable of change. Evil is enabling their destructive behavior. You are the problem. You are the evil in society, and the sick part is you think you’re virtuous.

I have pretty extensive experience with someone who is high functioning bipolar. She’s an incredible person, someone I trust immensely and respect the hell out of. She takes the lowest dose possible of an anti-psychotic. She’s great 99% of the time. Every once in a while, for no explicable reason (this is according to her) she drops into a depression where she wants to take her own life. She truly can’t explain why, and once we’ve ridden through it, she’s back to being her wonderful self. I have seen this cycle play out MANY times and have needed to help stabilize her most of those times. She absolutely should not have a gun. Up until the point that she was properly diagnosed as being bipolar she was incorrectly diagnosed as having depression and medicated in accordance with that. She had two suicide attempts during that time. Again, she should ABSOLUTELY not have a gun.

Mental health issues come in many shapes and sizes, but the common thread is a lack of stability and predictable function. In no way is this a judgement of the person, I would choose my person a million times over, but you’re an absolute fool if you think that stability and predictability should not be requisites for gun ownership. All it takes is once.

Pardon me for saying this, but YOU don’t know what the fuck YOU’RE talking about.

Wait, are you suggesting that taking antidepressants, antipsychotics, or having anxiety aren’t forms of mental instability? That’s quite literally the definition. Seems super reasonable that we wouldn’t want someone in that position to own a firearm.

It is actually, haven’t you seen? Racism can ONLY be perpetrated by White. At least that’s what the internet told me.

So you’re saying China supports same sex marriage, trans rights, and doesn’t take steps to censor the internet?

So you’re saying China is LGBT friendly?
