@therealpennyfortheguy @Scarabeater@anticapitalist.party Agreed, I 100% support attacking Nazis at every turn. Though I've never actually seen Antifa attack a Nazi, just old ladies and old men wearing MAGA hats.

@freemo @scarabeater MAGA hats are the new KKK Hood.

@therealpennyfortheguy @Scarabeater@anticapitalist.party While there are certainly a lot of racists wearing MAGA hats that isnt entirely accurate. I find people on either extreme end of the political spectrum tend to be highly racist, but not always.

If your using a MAGA hat as your measure rather than anything the person actually did that was racist, then you already fucked up.

@freemo @scarabeater I've never actually seen Antifa attack anybody other than #NaziScum
If people don't want to get hurt, then get the fuck out of the way. #IfYouCantHandleTheHeatStayOutOfTheFuckingKitchen

@therealpennyfortheguy @Scarabeater@anticapitalist.party That has not been my expiernce. Every event I attended where Antifa was to be present their intention was violence, and many of those times they acted on it. I have seen them assault 4 people personally and in every case they were elderly except for one of them who was 50'ish.

@freemo @scarabeater  Are you sure that what you witnessed was not in fact Antifa? But in fact "Agent Provocateurs"  I've seen my fair share of that bullshit go down. #PigInfiltrators   #SpyCops  Pigs who "mask up" blend in and cause trouble, then disappear.

@therealpennyfortheguy @Scarabeater@anticapitalist.party No way to ever know for sure. I can say that the Antifa groups usually met privately before hand (of which ive managed to join in on a few such meetings with 2 separate groups at different times). In both cases they encouraged people to bring weapons (such as knives) and seemed very eager to engage in violence. I'd be rather skeptical of the idea that the entire group were putting on a show and they were really cops.

Neither of the groups I mentioned however were the ones who actually engaged in violence that I witnessed and mentioned above. I dont know if these groups followed through as I promptly left in both cases.

@freemo @scarabeater

"In both cases they encouraged people to bring weapons (such as knives) and seemed very eager to engage in violence."

Nope .. Not the Antifa I know. That would have to be the dumbest fucking thing to do EVER!

@therealpennyfortheguy @Scarabeater@anticapitalist.party I am glad to hear that there are Antifa groups out there that are anti-violence. Take away their violent nature and I would be quick to support them.

@freemo  We're anti-violence up to a point. We'll defend ourselves, our comrades, and the innocent, to the death if need be. Have no allusions about that.

@therealpennyfortheguy Sure, I have no issue with self defense. All the incidents I witnessed were Antifa provoking attacks against people who were not in any way violent.

@freemo Do you have any proof?

@therealpennyfortheguy Well you dont have to look far to see such incidents captured in video, But I didnt record the specific incidents I witnessed, no.

@freemo  "Well you dont have to look far to see such incidents captured in video,"

Please supply those video links

"But I didnt record the specific incidents I witnessed, no."

Well, it's a mute point then.
 

@therealpennyfortheguy Hardy a moot point (its moot not mute btw).

Simply because I didnt record it doesnt change the fact that its real. Just as you didnty record your local antifa preaching about the "number one rule", but that doesnt rule out the fact that you likely experienced that all the same,

@freemo No, I "mute" that shit out. Because it simply isn't true.

@freemo @scarabeater  Do you know what the penalties are for carrying a concealed weapon such as a knife, should one get arrested?  No one associated with Antifa would do such a stupid fucking thing. PERIOD!

@therealpennyfortheguy @Scarabeater@anticapitalist.party Umm, none. In america carrying a knife on you is perfectly legal. There are a few exceptions to that of course, and its state by state. But for the most part it isnt usually considered a crime aside from very large knives.

But like I said since I witnessed it first and hand and en masse twice, the assertion that no one in Antifa would do that seems clearly incorrect to me.

@freemo First hand knowledge .. Antifa do not carry knives of any sort.. It's a BIG FUCKING NO NO!  

@therealpennyfortheguy I have first hand knowledge they have. I'm willing to accept that the antifa yu may have been a part of didnt carry knives. Thats hardly an indication that all antifa dont carry knives.

@freemo   #Antifa

I do not know who the fuck you have been associating with, but believe me when I say, they are in no way, shape, or form, associated with #TheRealAntifa

Let me make this as clear as I possibly can. It is THE NUMBER ONE RULE!
Do NOT carry concealed weapons.

#Antifa101

Weapons

1: Should one be relieved of said concealed weapon, it can be used against oneself.

2: Should one get arrested and one is found to be carrying a concealed weapon, the penalties far out weigh the risk.

Don't Do It!

@therealpennyfortheguy Antifa is not centralized. They can not enforce any rules of any kind among their cells. So while I appreciate and love the fact that the cells near you have that rule that has not been the case with any of the cells I have interacted with (just the two directly).

It also isnt really the primary point. Of the violent incidents I witnessed them carry out (4 of them) no weapon was involved but it was just as concerning.

@freemo If you want to clarify the point I am making. All you have to do is contact any of the major Antifa cells throughout the USA. They will confirm what I have conveyed to you regarding the carrying of concealed weapons.

@therealpennyfortheguy If they are going around carrying weapons with the intent of violence you really expect their leadership to admit that over a random call from a stranger?

@freemo

1: They don't carry concealed weapons

2: They'll gladly tell that truth

What the fuck is the matter with you?

@therealpennyfortheguy Again, witnessed first hand that those claims are not remotely true. If you found a cell where they are somewhere great. But I have yet to ever witness that being the case.

@freemo Let me be quite frank. I do not believe a single word of what you are saying. You need to do some actual research. You have obviously been fed falsehoods. Here is some homework.

@therealpennyfortheguy Good for you. You wont change my mind with some mindless rants and disbelief when I spent months traveling and attending events to see for myself. Your bias is so overwhelmingly obvious it completely discredits your opinion.

@freemo That's utter bullshit! PROVE IT! Oh' wait, that's right, you can't!
