It was billed as an "Anti Antifa" round-table. So it's anti-anti-fascist, surely that makes it a fascist round-table?
*I AM ANTI FASCISM*
My grandfather was og Antifa. US Army 44-46.
He wants to imprison anyone who calls him a fascist. While over 400,000 Americans have died fighting fascism shouldn't we all be antifa?
They are offended by people who dislike fascism? Telling on themselves
Being Anti Fascist is a good thing. Why are we even debating this??
Posobiec bringing up that Antifa was a problem all the way back in Weimar Germany kind of says everything needed. Jesus christ.
Aren't judges supposed to be the "finders of fact" ? How can he outlaw a non-existent movement?
My favorite violent protester was the guy in the chicken suit that deeply frightened Kristy Noam’s
I don't know how people aren't completely outraged over the raid they did in Chicago, breaking into people's apartments with no warrant. Completely outrageous. Detaining people in zip ties,including children, and people with no clothes on, so they can inquire about their status. Remember, you do not have to answer any police questions ever. Ice cannot Detain U.S. citizens and inquire about their status. If they have evidence of crimes they can go get a warrant. Except law enforcement doesn't do that. This is a major problem. The government is completely out of control.
