    Yeah, it’s just flat out racism.
    I love how he throws in Antifa at the end, too lol

      Especially about antifa being an “organization”, considering its, you know, completely decentralized groups.

      So very telling, every time

            I can see it either way. It wasn’t the best word choice, but to me, the meaning was clear. It just seems like nitpicking, tbh.

              The person being replied to earlier is specifically responding in bad faith, their intent is to paint antifa as a single org.

                Maybe, maybe not. Their post history doesn’t imply to me anything other than that they feel strongly about the subject. A glance through their post history doesn’t suggest otherwise to me, but I tend to give broad leeway for lengthier time periods.

                  Considering the antisemitic comment, the blaming of antifa for actions where right wing instigators were found, the promotion of spoiler candidates…

                  I’m going to have to strongly disagree with your perspective. If they felt strongly about it, they’d know more about the third parties they reference.

                  But they dont. You can give them that leeway of course, but I’m not going to.

                  Edit: Other folks browsing, don’t down vote Maeve because they want to see the better of people. That’s generally a good thing.

                    Hi, thanks so much for your kind words. I’m working on finding a sweet spot between healthy skepticism and cynicism, kindness and gullibility. It’s tricky, and both cause unnecessary suffering, for all parties involved. While I’d prefer to be inerrant, that’s not very realistic, since I’m human. I’m learning, and that means mistakes. Thank you again for your kind words.

            My friend, when I bit the bullet and had FB for a couple of years to keep in touch with a loved one who only had phone service when they were by free Wi-Fi, there were Black Bloc groups on there that used FB groups for organizing action. Then Zuc shut them down, and notably not other equally controversial groups. Please.
