You do realize that you just saying things doesn't make it magically true, right?

I could use a fucking AntiFA flag right now, that doesn't magically mean I'm in any way in an organization.


There's a difference between using an Antifa flag and having an myriad of groups that add nearly exactly the same.

They don't just act similar. They follow the same strategies, they use the same flags, the same name, and last time i checked they call themselves a group. Unless there's been some kind of Antifa civil war that i haven't heard about.

I don't think the whole alt-right will become a giant terrorist group, but there will be terrorist groups that are part of the alt-right.The Attomwaffen Division are an excellent example, and they already murdered five people.

It's not. You don't get to decide what a movement is built on.

It is though, at least originally. A generally common platform of the alt right, even though it is relatively hard to pin down the movement as a whole, is some degree of white nationalism. The vast majority are not generally neo nazis or go around advocating death but they are a minority in the movement, while the majority dont go as far as to actually advocate violence towards other races.

Tbf, that’s the equivalent to lying. It implies that you are part of the group, as people have or may have limited knowledge to who you are. I don’t recall alt-right recruiting people as much as trying to convince people into believing their beliefs. I doubt Richard Spencer truly represents and leads the entirety of alt right. Nor do I think many alt right groups make him out to be the leader.

You convienietly left this part out, lemmie pick that up for you.

"White nationalism is a type of nationalism or pan-nationalism which espouses the belief that white people are a race[1] and seeks to develop and maintain a white national identity [...] White separatism is the pursuit of a "white-only state"; [white] supremacism is the belief that white people are superior to nonwhites and should dominate them, taking ideas from social Darwinism and Nazism."

Poor "analysts". :lol2:

Who gives a single Goddamned fuck in the world right now about that? That's utterly irrelevant to the fact that the Alt-Right is a white supremacist movement, through and through.

Either stop bringing these two points up or stop trying to argue that antifa is a terrorist organization. Your choice, but you can't have both and make sense.

Sorry I probably phrased that wrong...I meant to say that while there is a minority that embrace neo Nazism most member sig the alt right dont go that far and actually denounce those that do to some extent, but as a whole the group is made up of those that are fundamentally concerned with white identity.
