>>323184>terrorist apologiaNot all "terrorism" is created equal. Some people have tried to retroactively call slave or abolitionist uprisings "terrorism" because they terrified southerners. The reasons behind a fight or attack are always more important than if it will be labeled "terrorism" by scared white people.
>when you ran up to grandmaReady to talk about actual facts and data, and not hypothetical imagery? Do you have any opinion that wasn't crafted for you by right-wing social media? Is it not possible that so little data exists on antifa "terrorist attacks" because there is so little that can be called an "attack"? Again, specify why those "attacks" took place. How do we know most of those fights weren't self-defense or some other cause? Can you quantify for us who actually throws the first punch? How do we know it wasn't just people outside trading insults unrelated to political opinions and then it got heated?
Cornel West, who was at the Unite the Right rally as a counterprotester, said it was antifa that kept the more peaceful leftists there from being pummeled. They were essentially doing the police's job because the real police had held back while it was happening. Sounds like self-defense to me. You can't tell me how many people were ever actually "targeted for having an opinion". You ask for numbers, but you are incapable of providing any yourself.
I'm not denying that terrible beatings have happened. However, you've put the burden of proof on other people. We have confirmed cases of extensive right-wing terrorism and murder. We have confirmed cases of extensive Islamic terrorism and murder. Leftist terrorism sits at 2% of the total killings, to which antifa has contributed zero deaths and intended zero deaths, as well as a small fraction of the physical violence.
Please prove otherwise without resorting to anecdotes and hypotheticals, or admit you're just coasting on your fee fees. And please tell me why antifa, a group that only really comes out when the far-right comes out, is a bigger threat than all these right-wingers and Islamists and lone wolves who intend to kill people regardless.
