    Warning: bad words in video



    When fash bashing doesn't go as planned. A few more times Antifa gets their ***es handed to them and maybe they'll stop trying to turn the streets of Berkeley into the streets of Karachi.

    I feel like Russian Superhero is oxymoronic, since you know - heroes help people.

    Actually that's a comic book and is a work of fiction.

    As thread creator I just want to say that a star war correctly embodies the values of this thread and should be encouraged to express those values openly.

    I know, but hasn't it always been a grand tradition to use works of fiction to make social and political statements?

    >We lionize fighting in movies and TV, but watch any video of antifa beanpoles and gelatinous irredentists flailing at each other at Berkeley, and you have to face it: Most people in this country cannot fight their way out of a wet paper bag and have no clue what they’re talking about when they opine on it.

    Basically why I think all you 'bash fash' talkers are lol.

    Vivec, the country was founded on the myth of a valiant war, not a campaign against a severely distracted Britain by French proxies. The protest movement takes credit for ending Vietnam, despite Nixon winning a landslide in 1972. There's lots of tough talk, and very little actual evidence to support it.

    Complacent.

    With fascism.

    Of course, the interesting thing about that comic was that it wasn't wartime propaganda, but came out in 1940.

    You're 100% right. Antifa is a joke. Most people that brag about being tough or badasses are just cowards and idiots. I used to do a lot of martial arts and boxing and have met some real badasses, believe me, the real ones don't have to convince you that they are.

    I wish I'd seen this thread months ago.

    Anyway, I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but it is NOT ok to punch fascists in their faces. Punching these idiots validates their victimhood narrative. The ideology of the so-called "alt-right" (I hate that term, just call them fascists) is rooted in the delusion of being persecuted people...of being victims of injustice and intolerance. Look at the religious nuts who claim Christians are being persecuted because homosexuals are allowed equal treatment under the law. This is the bat**** mentality that these people espouse and try to sell to whatever audience gives pause to listen, and when a mouthpiece for a white supremacist movement is assaulted on camera...as satisfying as that may be for a moment...it becomes a powerful validation of their victimhood complex. It says "See, look! We fascists are VICTIMS!" As soon as that happens it becomes a tool for recruitment. It cements in the minds of a few that they're going to keep their guns loaded and vote republican. These kinds of acts are extremely counter-productive.

    Sorry if that's been covered...I know I'm late to the party.

    Who should decide it's fascism or not?

    There is a huge difference between "punch fascists" and "punch those who you think are fascists".

    Richard Spencer should be punched, though.

    Did I say that? You think that because I said that used to fight that I think I'm a self-proclaimed tough guy? I speak Spanish too, I guess by your logic, you'd probably assume that I'm Mexican?
