Off topic, but...this is exactly why we shouldn’t be running or universal healthcare coverage plan through private insurance companies. Thanks Obama.

Can somebody explain to me how "ANTIFA" would even be added the terrorism list? There are no headquarters, and it just means "Anti-Fascist", right?

It's not like people "work for ANTIFA" or whatever.

I’m on it catamount. I discovered MHB’s LinkedIn Page. He has a long history with Antifa. Kind of bounced around but he’s doing pretty well.

Mail Clerk, Antifa Inc 2013-14
Accounts Receivable Specialist, Antifa Inc 2014-15
Sales Representative, 2015-16
Assistant to the Vice President of Sales, 2016-18
Assistant Vice President of Sales, Southeast Region, 2018-present

If you go to his Facebook, there are some picks from the Antifa Christmas party. Looks like their secret Santa gifts were just masks.

People looting just want to steal shit, they aren't rioters or protestors. Kinda difficult to protest injustice with an armful of stolen retail goods. The continued knashing of teeth over these people being counter-productive is fucking stupid - They aren't there to be productive.

Wait how is Brasky anti looting and rioting when his entire platform is to burn it all down, you have spoken and the people have listened, burning it down has commenced.

You can't change 1/7 of the largest economy in the world overnight. At least he got something started which is what he said.
 
I'm old enough to remember when the Tunnels' resident social scientist assured us Antifa was just a "conservative boogeyman".

yeah, that hasn't changed. The only people worried about Antifa are fascists and paranoid geriatrics shitting their pants watching Fox News and listening to Rush Limbaugh in their car

This is incredibly simplistic. It's nothing like Trump and the right think it, but they do espouse violence and that's unacceptable.

Exactly.
 
Yeah Antifa is just something easy that old white people can point to and be scared off but not too scared because its just a singular group with infrastructure and leaders that can be "eliminated" instead of what they truly fear which is reality. So now they are scared but also comforted and reassured in knowing they have a real defined enemy to direct their anger and hatred and also easily dismiss.

It = the establishment, not some nail salon

If they were burning down true symbols of tyranny and oppression Id feel a lot better about it.

They counterprotest armed white supremacists and neo-nazis. You just "both sides" the conflict like Trump the coward. Seems like you'd personally have a less naive outlook on fascism than "just ignore it, and it will go away".
 
Well they got most the shopping centers in LA the past two days, the parade of sirens make it sound like Pasadena is on the menu today.
