What's this?

I think it’s a dangerous path to support any group that openly endorses


Vigilante violence against another group they’ve identified as their enemy. While I think white supremicists and Neo Nazis are vile, what happens if Antifa expands its definition of who it considers “fascist”?

The radicals at both ends of the political spectrum have become too extreme, IMHO. I’d rather people of more moderate thinking not cozy up to either one.

This isn’t a situation where “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” applies. Assuming people who disagree with you are enemies in the first place is what got us tumbling down this hole.
