Gotta admit, it seems like altrighterz would really like to see a rise in violence, and this sounds like a way to justify it to yourselves. After Dick Spencer got hit on camera you guys have been trying to simultaneously make the Antifa people out to be some kind of vanguard of violent liberalism that could turn into terrorism and a group of spoiled college kids that are ineffectual and efite.

It's a talking point. I know that you want us to think that and I can see why you would like us to, but Antifa is just not the threat that you say it is and what you are doing is pretty transparent.


A rise in violence is inevitable. The left/right are fundamentally at odds with one another. Once people realize that certain things are not "just the way it is" and accept it, the more they'll see it as violence upon them. Therefore, the logical step after that is retaliation. That is the point where the left/right can no longer co-exist within the same nation.

It's like everyone is living in this rosey world, where we accept things that we disagree with for 4 years because "it's just the way it is", and "gee-golly we lost". If you think a policy is wrong/bad/immoral, do something about it, otherwise you don't really think it's bad. The illusion will break at some point, and it will make a lot of people very angry/violent.

You can already see it happening now with sanctuary cities, and blatant disregard for basic laws. Certain groups have decided to do something, and we will be seeing a rise in unrest/violence.


Wow that's a lot of angst. Sanctuary Cities is precisely "doing something about it" right? I don't think they're cesspools of anarchy.


Sanctuary cities. You need to get out of your bubble. That's not even remotely what most people are worried about. Not by a long shot.
