no, i don't think i call that logic at all. also, first time i've ever heard that about the kkk, sounds false.

without a doubt its true. When I was a kid I heard of several men being "visited" by the Klan.

i can't believe you just posted an article from 1920 in seeming defense of the klan uh..serving justice? it's a wonder we don't have some sort of super hero klansman movie franchise at this point in history.

gee, let's not be happy that nazis and kkk have been put in their place and were scared to show up for their own rally. let's be mad at antifa and the counter protestors. smh.

Yeah let's be happy that only one violent hate group (antifa) showed up instead of two of them. Unlike some people I am opposed to violent hate groups both on the right and the left.

you don't have to be a member of antifa to punch a nazi. where do you get your information from anyway? the majority of counter protesters had no affiliation with antifa.

Except a vast majority of people who have been assaulted by antifa are not Nazis. Unless you classify anyone who isn't a radical leftist as a Nazi. Antifa should be classified as a terrorist organization for some of the acts they have engaged in.

i get that the right wants to keep the focus on antifa as a means to distance the conversation and themselves from the fact that kkk/nazis/white supremacists are a part of their wing. the left does the same thing in distancing themselves from antifa.

Are you sure it's only Nazis and KKK being put in their place? The tactics used by Antifa is exactly the tactics they claim they defending against

So it's safe to say that both the left and right have their own lunatic fringe?

 

And that Antifa and the KKK eqivelent in actions and intent

  If the extreme right and the KKK faded away, Antifa would too. In a vacuum, I doubt you would see an Antifa "unite the left" rally. We have seen such rallies from the extreme right. The extreme right has stated explicit goals centered around nationalism, decreasing immigration, and creating a white monoculture. Antifa has stated explicit goals of opposing the extreme right by whatever methods necessary. Thus, different actions and intents.
