Yes. When you go far enough to either the right or left, you circle around until you meet each other. The neo-nazis and the anti-fa are basically the same type of folks, who are only interested in stirring up shit, getting attention, destroying stuff, exercising anarchy, and keeping friction going between normal folks. Interestingly enough, the folks who style themselves as "anti-fascists," very closely meet the definition of fascists: collective authoritarians.

I would love to know how many anti-fa folk donate food to food banks, and donate to charities that help the poor.

Sorry, I do not fully comprehend why this statement seems so biased, but shouldn't we also ask if the whitey groups donate, or do you already know that tidbit? 

Personally I think some you have a twisted sense of equality and conveying accountability.  See, I can be Onslow-like, and gaze into your souls.  Who organized/planned/advertised the event?  Are the alt-right types and the antifascists equally violent?  How many deaths are the results of the actions of the two extremes?

You habitually make assertions about churchgoers based on pure conjecture, and fantasy.  Put that in your pipe!

Wrong, I make proclamations about churchgoers all the time, never usually, and it is always based on pure observation, their actions, and their hypocrisy.  Trust me it ain't a fantasy; it is a fucking tangible nightmare!

they are equally violent would you like some proof? Recent history makes the fascists look bad, and the anarchists look like humble activists. Yes, the racist assholes are worse humans, but I won't stand with or for communists because they highjack a benevolent cause (equality). These are not Sanders voting democratic socialists, nor are they center left Clinton supporters. They are communists.

IMO, you know you've got it good as a country when the worst shit people can find to be pissed about are statues that they don't like.

BALTIMORE, MD - A centuries-old monument in honor of Christopher Columbus crumbled in Baltimore with several swings of a sledgehammer.

Authorities are asking for tips after the suspects who destroyed the obelisk posted a YouTube video showing the crime in progress.

Police said that in addition to the sledgehammer-wielding individual, two others were at the scene - one filming, another holding a sign.

According to a YouTube video posted by "Popular Resistance," they filmed the act in the "dark of night on Aug. 21" to end the "Columbian wave of destruction." Said the narrator: "Part of our evolution as humans requires tearing down monuments to destructive forces and tearing down systems that maintain them."

We are on the verge of another Civil War. It is one thing to have your elected officials decide to remove monuments- that's the democratic process even though we may disagree.

But it is another thing entirely to have thugs vandalize them - that is throwing gasoline on the fire which IMHO is their intention. It is not vandalizem,  it is inciting a riot.
Step away from the news and you will find we are not nearly as divided as many want us to believe

I was really trying to stay out of this but god damn!! after watching that video Woolly posted I can't believe what is going on in this country. If any of those people on either side of this argument had jobs and responsibilities none of this would be an issue.

Reassigning that ESPN broadcaster just because of his name, that is some bullshit!! We voted in a president named Hussein for crying out loud.   

Thank god i can get back to fishing next week.  p;- the media
