Anti-Fascists aren’t going after these stand up models from the USA. They are defending against Nazis. I wonder what a Nazi free-speech bubble would look like. I guess we have gone from bad guys on both sides to just bad on the left. Are you sure the guy you depicted are the white supremacist or did you get confused and draw a real Murican?
Amazing how easily and conveniently the right wing “forgets” or somehow never notices that the guys who turned up first with guns, clubs, and knives, chanting Nazi slogans (“blood and soil” was also a Nazi motto, justifying their genocide of “undesirable” populations) — were not antifa.
The ones who first attacked, by spraying crowds with urine and pepper spray — they were not antifa.
Nor was the the guy who decided to go straight for murder. http://www.slate.com/articles/business/metropolis/2017/08/driving_into_crowds_of_protesters_was_a_right_wing_fantasy_long_before_charlottesville.html
Ms. Benson, when you are defending Nazis and the people who take their playbook from ISIS, maybe you should take a good hard look at yourself.
“Organizers of the Unite the Right rally had a clear plan, according to the group’s chat and conference calls: Avoid obvious neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan symbols. Appeal to the white, conservative mainstream. Don’t start violence, but feel free to provoke it.
The group’s best-laid plans failed spectacularly, unraveled by organizers’ inability to control the Charlottesville, Virginia, crowd that had been whipped up into a frenzy by the rhetoric of the white nationalist movement."
Sure, it’s just a bunch of middle aged guys in baseball caps. No right wing militia, no skinheads, no white supremacist biker gangs. Also, upside down is right side up & we have always been at war with Eastasia.
I guess Benson has never heard of Kyle “Based Stickman” Chapman, who was supposed to be speaking at the Patriot Prayer rally. The guy’s got a list of felony arrests that dates back decades. He’s a thug who has found his moment with the white supremacists that see Trump as an opening to bring their ideas to the mainstream.
Antifa is a catch all term for anyone who opposes the Nazis, KKK & other deplorables. The violent few who show up (usually Black Bloc/Anarchist types) are not really helping, but at least they know ideologies that advocate genocide & ethnic cleansing aren’t tolerable.
I’m confused…. By this toon…. The antifa…… Didn’t attack anyone..right?? The pudgy white guys didn’t attack anyone, right? I thought it was the neo-nazis and the white supremacists with their swastikas and white hoods that we’re doing the attacking I mean they’re the ones who came with the weapons and the Shields and the rocks and stuff right??? So why does this toon just show the victims? I’m confused?
Lisa, a woman was run over by one of the Nazis that were chanting things like “Jews will not replace us”. Plus they brought guns and they were the ones that marched down to where the counter-protestors had their place to march that they DID have a permit for. There may be some violent people that may associate with antifa that were there but the counter-protestors were NOT violent and the left does not support violence. On the other hand, Trump encourages violence.
It is really amazing that the right has referred to liberals as weak, cowardly, hiding under the bed and now the left is the crazed, violent antifa. Antifa has always been a loosely organized group of anarchists that are against fascism; they unfortunately will use violent methods. Dems, progressive and the left have all condemned this violence and it is sickening to see CAL, TXGAL, NOAH and others continue to claim otherwise.
.On the other hand, your leader Trump has openly condoned violence – he offered to pay legal fees for those who would beat up counter protestors and can be heard saying “hit him” repeatedly when a protestor was being removed by security.
Nazis and Fascists are against free speech ( see my Italy and German in the past century) : so it is right to avoid them to speak . Who knows the History don’t need a reply
