When we discussed it in our Historical European Martials Arts club, where someone had allready been targeted by Antifa because
quote "it didn't look good that he was white and wore runic inscriptions" as someone from Antifa had put it, well we don't take that overly well.
On the other hand some of our more peaceful members underlined that Antifa doesn't have structured group as such, no registry of members and so on.
This, you can expect the one you'll hear from is the totally spaced out ones,
and hopefully not even the majority within Antifa.
And even if you label the entire Antifa as hypocrites and warmongers, how many is that really?
So i understand Tarmygs view on the matter; is it something to worry THAT much about?
Faced with this shit myself, I admit, it pisses me off immensely,
and really makes me wanna go on crusade against the stupid fucks.
This reaction isn't very smart in itself though.
My conclusion is that stupid begets stupid reactions, or at least an overkill of a reaction.
But that's easy to say while over here, we are just starting to see the Antifa BS and so on, you in the US has had it for a while now
And if I allready start to think about crusading over what little we've felt here,
I can totally understand you're being ready to march in the US.
Will say this though, the problem seldom is as big as it seems.
As mentioned, this will be noticed by people of reason and there will eventually rise a movement against it, hopefully an enlightened one.
Last words on the matter;
Over here we always like to take credit for discovering the Americas before Columbus, as Leif Eriksson expedition went there and according to the sagas established a colony, and also fought with the natives,which they described as "Skraelinger", a clearly derogatory name, which by today's language would mean "scrawny/weak people".
I wonder what would happen if Antifa were to propose that what Leif Eriksson did was the racist and therefore wanted to remove any statues of him.
(Not that I know of any)
That would not go down well.
This entire thing is so strange, do these people expect history to be a nice little fairytale?
