This is a very illuminating read, because it shows the blind spots identity politics creates in people.

In the article, it claims Jews on the right believe anti-semitism on the left is the problem. Jews on the left believe anti semitism on the right is the problem. Centrists are caught in the middle.


And this, in a nutshell, is why I just can't take all this political arguing seriously. They're not really about issues! They're about your party affiliation. And that's just stupid... What's the point of winning, if you have to sacrifice any sense of integrity to win? Isn't the point of politics an expression of your values?


If the answer is no, and you believe values is "relative" or some such hogwash, you're probably a terrible person who shouldn't have kids. Just saying.

centrist autofelatio imo.

I myself stick to a certain set of principles, the principles of classical liberalism largely set forth by John Locke, and my moral principles as a Christian. I don't really care for holding to a stance just based on tribalism.

Politicians don't have to anymore...This is why they invented the "Grey" concept.

Making it OK to do BAD Things for "Good Reasons".

It seems right now politicians operate with the concept of "at least we aren't the other guys," which is just insipid.

Can't really speak to anti-semitism. But more generally, I do have an issue with political groupings as a whole, how imprecise they are, and how they promote attacks on individuals and/or the group itself instead of ideas.

I mean, think about the umbrella that is "liberal" or "conservative." Think about how many different demographics fall under each. Should a Texas rancher and Wall Street business mogul be described using the same terminology? Should an anti-war protesting hippie and a middle class urban school teacher? And could you craft a policy platform to please them both? Possibly, but only if they both idealize the party affiliation over their actual interests. Hundreds of examples like that could be found.

I'm of the debate philosophy that you pull zero punches, but separate argument from individual and attack only the idea. But when it comes to identity politics specifically, it's hard to find anyone who doesn't conflate certain ideas with their self-image. So an attack on the former is an attack on the latter. Cue rants and rage, and watch as it spirals and compounds on itself.

It's like trying to use the term millenial unironically to describe anything. By most definitions, it includes kids waiting to have their first legal drink, and early 30-somethings who could easily be on their 10th job, 3rd kid, 2nd mortgage, etc. Tell me that sh*t is one demographic with a straight face. It isn't; it's just a marketing buzzword, but we eat it up, attack it or embrace it to suit our needs.

So it's not that I'm espousing a centrist view on whatever topic. But yeah, f*** political labels and the way they dumb down our national discussion of nearly anything.

This is pretty much what I was trying to say.

If you want to go under the R or the D label, have at it. It's the "No enemies on our side" philosophy I can't stand, even if that enemy tramples on a fundamental key issue.

I mean, sure, no one wants their side to look bad. But taking a principled stance isn't bad, imo. It shows you actually give a crap about the things you claim to care about when it hurts the other team.

Selective outrage just looks like you care more about image then substance.

They've flat out said fear is one of their tactics to get what they want. Sure as hell sounds like terrorism. They commit violence to advance some political agenda, again, this is the definition of terrorism lol.

The line of thought seems to be "eh, ignore it until they murder someone".

In the MSM I have seen more defending of Antifa than I have nazis. Sometimes it's not outright defending, but more someone going "oh they're just against fascism". Which isn't true lol. It's what Antifa claims, but it is not true. But the notion is they solely use violence against neo nazis.

And you know if tomorrow someone in Antifa killed someone the left would just move the goal posts and say "neo nazis have killed more!".

It's not enough to simply compare death counts, you have to compare the scale of the problems. Sure the alt-right has a larger death count, however the frequency with which Antifa employs the use of terrorist tactics to attempt to obstruct speakers is noticeably more commonplace than whatever terroristic behavior comes out of the alt-right.

Aren't the alt-right the only side with a 'death count'...? I've heard stories of Antifa attacking people but I don't recall the equivalent of mowing down peaceful protesters with a car as in Charlottesville. And I honestly think the scale of the Antifa problem is exaggerated by online personalities.

Stopping speakers, even silly edge lords like Shapiro is stupid imo, if they're invited to an event, let them speak. But are we really going to compare that with murder? SMH.

There is also the normalization of Antifa. Neo nazis are bad, but Antifa..well, they're just fighting fascists, I swear!

The keyword is terror. They want to SCARE you into thinking like they do. They have said they use fear as a weapon. These people are terrorists Rob.

Your entire exchange on the last page was you trying to equalize Antifa with outright murderers. You did the same in the Charlotsville thread (where this started for you)

Yes, Antifa are labeled "terrorist", but not all terrorist are equal. Some terrorist throw mean words and water-balloons, other's punch you in the face, other's mow you down with a car and others bring buildings down.

I'm not equalizing murder with vandalism and non-lethal violent action, the alt-right has a higher kill-count but I'm saying that given Antifa's greater propensity for largescale political violence and mobbing in general it's not fair to compare the two along only one metric. Due to antifa's largescale political violence political speech on college campuses has become noticeably more obstructed due to concerns of violent mobs for even relatively moderate speakers like Ben Shapiro who aren't even advocating for racism or fascism, which has lead to these events being obstructed through either violent destruction, the heckler's veto, the onus placed upon organizations to raise an inordinate amount of money for security, etc.

One certainly has a higher killcount, but the other has a higher incidence of politically motivated violence and fear tactics as well as a wider spread effect in obstructing political dialogue.

I don't think it's fair to declare one side as far and away worse than the other based on analysis of a single variable.

Rockydonovang
DMB, that's only because Antifa, being less extreme than the groups you're comparing them to has more support/power. That's not a reflection of how good/bad the organizations are.

Emperordmb
I don't really think a movement largely composite of far-lefties like communists, socialists, and anarchists is really less extreme or holds moral high ground over the alt-right tbh.

Eh, they still haven't killed people. And they aren't racist, at least. So on those two facts alone, they hold at least a small high ground. But I'd agree that both factions are representative of extreme ideologies that aren't at all compatible with liberal democracy. In that sense, they both should be condemned, but the severity of what they have done should be kept in mind.

If they believe the opinion of a white person means less than that of a minority then yeah they're racists. If they use a phrase like "Your a white male!" as an insult or point of dismissal then yeah they're racists.

But at this point I'll take what I can get on this board. I would love to avoid personal attacks, however, as you have stated numerous times over the years I am an elitist and, to be honest, few people put forward well thought out ideas, the research is usually poor or the idea basic and simplistic. You are one of the few people this is not true of and has always been the case. When you start to point out flaws the Adhomininem bullshit starts and then I will always respond in kind because I have always enjoyed pouring petrol on a fire. Some people also propagate such foul and disgusting ideas it's difficult to separate the person from the idea. Bash and Rob touched on this earlier.

Both are Leftist Fascists.

I mean, think about the umbrella that is "liberal" or "conservative." Think about how many different demographics fall under each. Should a Texas rancher and Wall Street business mogul be described using the same terminology? Should an anti-war protesting hippie and a middle class urban school teacher? And could you craft a policy platform to please them both? Possibly, but only if they both idealize the party affiliation over their actual interests. Hundreds of examples like that could be found.

I'm of the debate philosophy that you pull zero punches, but separate argument from individual and attack only the idea. But when it comes to identity politics specifically, it's hard to find anyone who doesn't conflate certain ideas with their self-image. So an attack on the former is an attack on the latter. Cue rants and rage, and watch as it spirals and compounds on itself.

It's like trying to use the term millenial unironically to describe anything. By most definitions, it includes kids waiting to have their first legal drink, and early 30-somethings who could easily be on their 10th job, 3rd kid, 2nd mortgage, etc. Tell me that sh*t is one demographic with a straight face. It isn't; it's just a marketing buzzword, but we eat it up, attack it or embrace it to suit our needs.

So it's not that I'm espousing a centrist view on whatever topic. But yeah, f*** political labels and the way they dumb down our national discussion of nearly anything. wrong. anyone who disagrees with me is a leftist and a member of hillary clinton's inner circle

So many Gays are Fascists these days.

Such a sad thing for a people that are trying to change the meaning of a word that just means Happy.

And every body knows that leftists are NEVER HAPPY!

In that sense, they both should be condemned, but the severity of what they have done should be kept in mind.

And the problem is little weasels whine whenever they are brought up here lol. Anytime they are mentioned it is assumed the person is saying "they are 100% equal to murderous nazis".

It's bullshit. These people are terrorists. There is no debate there whatsoever.

If people wanna debate where on the scale of terrorism they fit? That is fine. But throwing little hissy fits whenever they are brought up? That's bullshit. And weasels here have tried to paint it as if the worst thing these people do is throw smoke bombs.

Not that you specifically did it, but people were legit seeming to argue with labeling these people terrorists. Let that sink in; violence is being used for political purposes. It's not terrorism though, because nazis. Antifa hasn't killed anyone. Oh sure, they've bashed people over the skull with metal bike locks, wine bottles, chucked bricks at peoples heads. But they aren't murderous nazis, so shhh. Granted if a brick had connected with someones head...well, I guess we just need to wait until the day they finally do kill someone before we can talk about them.

Due to antifa's largescale political violence political speech on college campuses has become noticeably more obstructed due to concerns of violent mobs for even relatively moderate speakers like Ben Shapiro who aren't even advocating for racism or fascism, which has lead to these events being obstructed through either violent destruction, the heckler's veto, the onus placed upon organizations to raise an inordinate amount of money for security, etc.

One certainly has a higher killcount, but the other has a higher incidence of politically motivated violence and fear tactics as well as a wider spread effect in obstructing political dialogue.

I don't think it's fair to declare one side as far and away worse than the other based on analysis of a single variable.

I have not once seen anyone on this forum say "vandalism and murder are equally bad". This "equalization" thing is brought up anytime anyone mentions Antifa. It truly does seem like some would prefer these things not be mentioned until they rack up an actual body count.

This mystifies me to no end. We see violence used. We see members saying fear is a tactic they also use. That's terrorism and I'm curious why people think if you ignore terrorists they will go away. I'm curious why they think if you ignore them they will not eventually up their game.

Why is it anytime anything negative about Antifa is pointed out you automatically assume it is being said they are 100% equal to murderous neo nazis?

The bar we set should not be "they aren't murderous nazis". Are they terrorists, yes or no?

Emperordmb
Yeah the "equalization" thing is a strawman because I'm not comparing an act of murder to an act of violence or vandalism. I'm comparing a few acts of murder to much more frequent and mob acts of obstruction violence and vandalism that have a heavier impact on the overall culture and political dialogue.

Bingo. It's never just about one lone act with Antifa. If they continue to get dismissed because they aren't as bad as murderous nazis...they're just gonna get more brazen.

And I can all but guarantee you if tomorrow Antifa straight up murdered someone it would be deflected by saying they haven't killed as many people as nazis have.

Hold up.... I seem to remember you were the one who did the original comparative there Surt. In the first thread, the one about Dreadlock girl, you cracked it with everyone because we did not agree that a near 300 pound Neo Nazi punching a girl less than a third of his size to the ground was good. You argued for several dozen pages that because she was Antifa it was alright.

The very next time I saw the comparative being made was when a Neo Nazi was trying to mow people down with his car, killing one woman. Now, neither person there had anything to do with Antifa, and yet the very first thing that gets mentined by you is Antifa. That time YOU made the comparative, and you pulled out out of nowhere for no reason other than to continue your grievance.

Now, I'm not going to go quote hunting through utterly ancient threads, I'm bedridden and sick and not up to that sort of thing anymore... but you get my point. I don't think anybody cares that you hate Antifa. What matters is that your hatred seems to spurn you into spinning absolute lies and exaggerations on top of legitimate wrongs they may do, and then you bring them up in places where mentioning them is completely unwanted, unwarranted and unneeded.

You didn't bring that up until later. But you originally justified it because she went there as a member of Antifa. Your words, not mine.

She went there with the intention to do violence, posted about it, and did violence. She got hit while in the middle of a fight. You can see it in the clip.

You could not prove she actually participated in violence at the time. Holding a bottle in her hand in the middle of a riot is not a crime in and of itself.

No, it's not. You missed several important points because "HUFF HUFF, He's not agreeing with me!" It's funny to watch, but it proves that even when Antifa isn't involved with a subject, you bring them up just to say "**** Antifa". Even when a person is killed.

Not to mention you didn't read the last paragraph.

You lied. At the very least you were misleading. You were acting like I had no good reason to think violence being done back to her was fair game, when in fact from the beginning I thought she had participated.

YOU COULD NOT PROVE IT AT THE TIME OF THE ARGUMENT, thus at the time your argument boiled down to her being an Antifa member was the entire justification, because it was the ONLY Justification you had.

Don't jerk people around and say "because later evidence proves things", when the argument was had, you had no leg to stand on. That was the important thing to remember, because that was when you were being irrational. And that was my point.

But you will ignore that just like you'll ignore the 2nd point, where you brought Antifa up out of f**king nowhere in a thread where a Neo Nazi mowed down and killed an innocent woman. You obviously give no shits about appropriate time and place considerations do you?

Minor hate crimes and being friends with neo nazis isn't really enough though. You can be a racist without being a nazi, it would depend on the nature of the crime. By the same token you can be a friend with nazis without actually being one, just as a Muslim can be friends with someone in ISIS without actually being an ISIS fighter.

Now don't get me wrong because depending on the specific circumstances he very well could be a neo nazi and there's certainly cause to suspect him of being such. And if what Rob said is accurate and he actually started a neo nazi website then that's more than enough, it's just that I'm always suspicious of claims that are supported by headlines without reading the content of the article.

No, they don't follow the same principals. I've known many muslims who deride ISIS, because they believe that the faith is meant to be one of peace, not war.

I don't know much about Antifa as a group, I've always seen them as a sort of grassroots youth movement that are controlled by a small group of stupid retards who can't seem to understand the qualities of subtlety. Liberals in general don't take to the streets and cause civil disturbances. So no, they are separate.

Neo Nazis, and Nazis in general for that matter, are categorized almost overwhelmingly by their extreme violent action, and their bigoted views. This man committed violent actions, and has a bias for white supremacy. Him punching down dreadlock girl was not the only instance of violence from this guy.

No, they don't follow the same principals. I've known many muslims who deride ISIS, because they believe that the faith is meant to be one of peace, not war.
I'm not saying ALL muslims, I'm saying any that do believe the same core principles. Do you think that any Muslim who believes things like western society is evil and violence in adherence to the faith is ok should be considered and treated as members of ISIS?

I don't know much about Antifa as a group, I've always seen them as a sort of grassroots youth movement that are controlled by a small group of stupid retards who can't seem to understand the qualities of subtlety. Liberals in general don't take to the streets and cause civil disturbances. So no, they are separate.

Neo Nazis, and Nazis in general for that matter, are categorized almost overwhelmingly by their extreme violent action, and their bigoted views. This man committed violent actions, and has a bias for white supremacy. Him punching down dreadlock girl was not the only instance of violence from this guy.
See now you're talking about actions and activism not simply sharing/supporting the same basic ideology, that's different than what you said before. I fully agree that someone who actively participates in Nazism is a Nazi, but simply agreeing with them on a few issues(even if the issues are abhorrent) and being friends with a few isn't enough to actually classify them as Nazis. I know it might seem like a silly distinction to make but I believe it's an important one. Regardless of their shared propensity for villainous behavior after all, the Joker is not the Riddler and it's not right to use the Joker's actions as a means to make the Riddler seem worse or vice versa.

Yeah plus if we can affiliate the alt-right with the nazis, then can we affiliate the far left with Stalin and Mao?

Cept the Nazis labelled/re-branded themselves "Alt-Right"; it wasn't a label pushed on them. Did you forget?

**** it, because you lie and misinterpret my words to suit yourself, I'm going to answer.

YOU COULD NOT PROVE IT AT THE TIME OF THE ARGUMENT, thus at the time your argument boiled down to her being an Antifa member was the entire justification, because it was the ONLY Justification you had.

Don't jerk people around and say "because later evidence proves things", when the argument was had, you had no leg to stand on. That was the important thing to remember, because that was when you were being irrational. And that was my point.

But you will ignore that just like you'll ignore the 2nd point, where you brought Antifa up out of f**king nowhere in a thread where a Neo Nazi mowed down and killed an innocent woman. You obviously give no shits about appropriate time and place considerations do you?

I couldn't prove it, but it was my opinion she had. That is the point. Whether I could prove it or not, I was not advocating attacking innocent protesters or anything like that. Don't jerk people around? Don't spread bullshit.

Bottom line: I thought she was violent from the beginning. The fact later evidence came out to prove me correct is actually irrelevant.

If there was a group of Antifa just doing nothing but peacefully protesting and some people just came up and beat the shit out of them? That is not okay. Going to somewhere just to start shit and participating in violence? Not okay. And from the beginning that is what I thought, whether I could prove it or not.

I'm not saying or suggesting that it didn't happen because I know full well that such a thing is possible, but when and how exactly did this official name change happen? Did a couple of core leaders of the neo nazis and KKK come out and make an announcement that they'd thereafter being calling themselves Alt Right or what?

Here is the problem with "they labeled themselves it!". This was done, apparently, by Richard Spencer. He applied that label to himself and his definition was never "nazi".

But now instead of people self identifying as members of the "alt right" it is hurled as an insult. It's the p*ssies way out of calling someone a nazi.

A few months ago he did this long interview with Roaming Millenial which does show a lot of how he thinks. Essentially it was meant to merely be an alternative to mainstream Republicans, he feels that mainstream Republicans were not able to effectively counter the left and feels a better way to do this is identity politics.

I think the guy is racist don't get me wrong, but what is implied with the term when used as an insult is not what he meant with it(according to him). Plus like I said he applies the term to himself. People like Ben Shapiro have been labeled alt right though lol.

Yeah, covered that, White Supremacist relabeled and re-branded themselves as "Alt-Right" as the classic Neo-Nazi shtick isn't as appealing to potential angry White people. Take away the haircuts, polo shirts and khakis, they're still Nazis, sport.

Careful. Else it might look like you're trying to defend them again and your little buddy Spencer.

So again if you are going to associate all white supremacists with the Nazis can we associate all marxists with the Soviet Union and Maoist China?
