It's so frustrating to see something like this and realize that an increasing number of people align their views with the anti-fascists, thinking they are the "good guys", without seeing the inherent hypocrisy of the beliefs they hold. On paper the anti-fascists portray themselves as accepting, but the reality is quite the opposite. Generally speaking they are authoritarian pricks who will label anyone who disagrees with them as racist or bigoted simply to undermine their point of view. No idea should be above criticism.

I think privileged white people are the largest problem in society these days. I think violence should only be used as a last resort to self defense. I prefer minorities because I find them to be hard working with strong family values. I think freedom of speech only works if it is universal (especially extending to those I disagree with). I'm not entirely sure what classifies as a "dissenter". I have tremendous respect and appreciation for Jewish culture and the way in which they build community. And yet I have been called a fascist/racist/bigot many times online because I respectfully find the actions and beliefs of ANTIFA abhorrent.

If you scream down viewpoints you don't like rather than seek to understand, if you use violence to intimidate, if you seek to wield power to destroy your political enemies, then YOU are the bad guys. ANTIFA does all of these things then hides behind the ruse of being "anti-fascists" because they are cowards and are no better than the fascists they claim to fight against.

What specific thing did I say that makes me a fascist?

TheOriginalGregToo ,

Meaning what exactly?

TheOriginalGregToo ,

As well you should have been. If you can't see how this is problematic then I truly think you should sell professional help. You are not the morally justified party in this scenario.

What is your definition of "fascist"?
