"Antifa does it too...just like those rubes at BLM..."
Trying to lessen the import of the activity at the Capitol on January 6th with a distraction and attempt to "what~about" Antifa and BLM.
Let's discuss the legitimacy of the protests a bit, shall we?
Is there ANY kernel of truth and/or justification to the protests made by Antifa/BLM? Now, to discuss their "tactics"...how they go about their protestations...THAT leaves a lot to be desired. A whole lot of criminality involved there and such activity does, in fact, deserve condemnation and vigorous prosecution.
Now let's look at the Insurrection that occurred on January 6th.
Anything LEGITIMATE about that protest? Was the entire premise of it based on a FLAT LIE? You bet yer bippy it was totally based on a trumped-up LIE about the election. Was it actual dictionary-definition "Insurrection" or was it just a loud, angry protest by well meaning, truly aggrieved "braindead rubes"?
The country will come to conclusions about this, no doubt...but attempts to brush it off as "not so bad" or "not so unique" because it's somehow just like what happens when Antifa and BLM show up in cities to protest is only somewhat short of a brain-dead conclusion...IMHO.
Also, is it any coincidence that the whole Antifa-does-it-too thing is absolutely straight out of Faux News here in the aftermath of the Trump Carnage that occurred in our nation's capitol on January 6th??

No anger here my friend...just a search for the truth and an understanding of why so many seem adverse to what actual truth looks like...

Insurrection - if that wasn't an "example" of what one looked like...what would a "domestic terrorist" look like? It's a freakin duck.
One of my partners has their parents living with them - they have the tv on all day long...Fox is all they hear. It's scarily cultish...well beyond the normal political b.s. held by the fringes.
This has nothing to do with policy....it's now about culture, if you ain't a WASP, you need not apply. This group feels they have been sold out by the .01% and the Fed govt. Rarely do they see their own Rep doing the exact thing that they about the other party.
We all know the facts, whether we can accept them as facts is another issue....pretty much the only issue.

Re: Trumpista fascists on the march
How was the weather.... we have a place just south of Surfside. Have not been down there in the winter much. I loved playing The Legends courses back in the day when I swung them much better, my fav was The Heathland. Are they still in good shape?

Re: Trumpista fascists on the march
We were inland in the Santee area,,,although we did get down to Jedburg to play Pine Forest. Me and "pine forests" don't get along real well where golf is concerned, but this day i did OK. Weather was cool (frigid for the locals i'm sure) ...in the high 40's, low 50's and damp. Glad i had good gear along with me...youthathletics wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 11:09 amHow was the weather.... we have a place just south of Surfside. Have not been down there in the winter much.

But that wasn't the point of the discussion you've excerpted from. As the journalist in the podcast (Jeremy), who tech had linked, was saying, having covered deeply both Antifa/Anarchist actions and this one of paramilitary MAGA insurgents, the actual group of organized, trained violent folks need not be large, typically isn't large...they use the magnitude of the crowd as 'cover' and bring them along in support...but they're the tip of spear, organized, trained and violent. He also pointed out the tactics of using whatever on the spot is available as weapons rather than bringing guns through checkpoints. But they wear all the self-protective tactical gear to be able to do the hand to hand as the vanguard of the mob. Really interesting podcast.

Re: Trumpista fascists on the march
yeah, seriously...I hadn't read it closely, hadn't responded, but when I saw tech's response to seacoaster's crack, I took a harder look and saw how the confusion had happened...I then googled the phrase as I really wasn't familiar with it...just saying it wasn't hard to not pick it up...and some of tech's stances on other posts (and those of others) do lend credence to the presumption, though inaccurate in this case and maybe not fair altogether.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 6:57 amSeriously?

I'm going to read tech a little differently after this exchange...as well as the podcast he shared, which I on first blush was ready to reject...glad I didn't, it was very interesting and informative.
That said, I still thought tech's response was out of bounds too.
