I think that, given we don't know those people personally, the only way to judge whether any fa are worse than antifa and vice-versa we would have to examine just how violent they are. I mean... it isn't as if fa are in tautology with right, and antifa with left. They are more shadowy groups. Of course the establishment politics are rotten too, yet that doesn't change the fact that violent people can end up in either fa or antifa groups.
Goes without saying that i'd not want to be near either.
 
The only thing I am at the moment talking about are the FACTS and the analysis based on them.
Recycled anti-Semitic tropes are not "facts". They're barely even opinions, they're something close to muscle-memory.

If you cant engage those except by theoreticizing about nondirectly related accusements through defamatory labeling
Stop talking like this, nobody talks like this.

Have you actually considered that I may be simply interested in the plain truth of the matter?
Not for a second.

I'm going to go ahead and post some of these. I do not feel like investigating each and every one to try to figure out if they are all genuine, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that anyone attending a "Unite the Right" rally is fully intending to hold court with Nazis.
[...]
So, yeah. I think the purpose of this rally was QUITE clear.
I think the point of confusion here is the "ironic-but-not-ironic" use of Nazi tropes by the alt-right. These guys definitely broadcast themselves in such a way that attracting Nazis, Klansmen and Sovereign Citizens was inevitable, but I don't know how clearly the tosspots running things appreciated that.

My guess would be that some of them understood this full well, that this was their intention, and the rest were too credulous to join the dots.

It comes from an inability to conceptualise that individuals have their own agency and beliefs. Someone must be paying all the people I don't like to be that way because they couldn't just all be that way on their own.
Why do you have to shoot yourself in the foot like that? I have a decent idea of people standing up for things in life - thats why I wonder why they take money from an oligarch. Now can you conceptualise why would a genuine protester took money from an oligarch?

It's a bit of projection I think, because of cause the sorts of people who peddle this sort of thing generally aren't adept or experienced at authentic social movements, and they are frequently really dishonest disingenuous.
Authentic social movement sponzored by an oligarch? I clearly have no idea what genuinity and honesty stands for!

The fact that white supremacism is an inherently conspiratorial worldview (entire ethnic groups are plotting to kill me with their insidious babies! Immigration is a plot by... some shadowy people... to use social engineering to... do... something!) presumably just makes that kind of thinking easier.
Have you ever seen/heard about work of an engineer gone wrong? Possibly. The same goes for a social engineering. What you do is to label and try to defame anyone questioning present models of movements within the global society as some kind of intolerant bigot becouse of your own feeling of superiority based in your own beliefs and ideology. And that is perhaps the worst form of intolerance and bigotry.
 
For me is oligarch somebody who has got the power and wealth through controlling government. Soros seems to be quite opossite case.

While I disagree with his opinions I find it positive that hes using money for something what does he believe rather than just for making more money.

I was only once on some demonstration, the one against the war in Iraq. I would be glad if someone would sponzor me. I was a still poor student back then.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have presented evidence that members of alt-left and antifa are taking money from Soros. What is anti-Semitic about it is beyond me...


Stop talking like this, nobody talks like this.
You need to stop accusing people of unsubstantiated BS.

Not for a second.
How come I am not suprised?

Give us an example of what you mean.

How would you feel if your also sponsored protesters-colleagues would use violence against people and property? Would you question the fact that these people should be sponsored?

Didn't you get the memo? Criticizing any Jewish person for any reason at all is anti-Semitic and clearly a sign that you wish to engage in genocide.
Wouldnt totally suprise me anymore but I want to hear that from my ideological superiors...

You've really done no such thing. You presented one video people mocking your crackpot theories as evidence for those self-same theories, and you presented one video of a guy's who testimony reads, and I quote "Um, well I mean, um, y'know, we all get paid to do, to, er, be se- to, er. Y'know."

Christ, you don't even know when people are making fun of you, and you think we owe you a debate?

Hardly. If he criticised a Jewish person for being a terrible pastry chef, that would not be anti-Semitic. But he's contending that left-wing Jewish financiers are using their wealth to subvert the government and seize political power. That sort of thing has a history.

You should know- you're very fond of "preserving history", aren't you?

When your superior ideology combines with merciless mockery I am totally bedazzled and a even bit perplexed. I am clearly not worthy of thy debate.

 
Is there a way to mute YouTube embeds
 
Alt left Antifa SJW commie scum reporting in. If Soros is supposed to be funding me he's a few payments late.

Edit: "cu-k" is an odd word to autocensor.
 
I'd question whether your conspiracy theory is worth discussing.
That may be primarily becouse as of now I havent presented any in this thread.

Soros didnt became rich by being stupid. Is he going to pay you if you do it for free?

Your problem, honey, is that you are the only one talking about Jews here. Congrats for you have finally managed to convince me that you dont owe me any debate...

You haven't presented much of anything. You've claimed that some groups are sponsored to an unknown degree by Soros, presented no evidence that this is true and expect us to understand that this is Bad because Soros is a scary name.

Why not say what you mean instead of talking sideways and then linking youtubes that are not quite related to what you said.

All I wanted at this point is to establish that indeed some of these protesters are being sponsored and I am curious if you think it has some implications.
Next thing I like to know what you guys think about the inactivity of the police.
 
I don't think anyone who know anything about Soros could mistake him for a leftist! He's anything but.
But surely he could play the left to achieve some other purpose...

You brought it up, you tell us what you think it implies. And some proof of groups being sponsored and what you mean by sponsored. As in, having accepted donations or bought mind and soul.
