You have to admit that Winston is trying hard to put lipstick on this pig called antifa, but they are still pigs. Anti-American pigs and terrorists. Aapat should be their name.

***************************

The false equivocation of the alt-left “Antifa” movement to the alt-right KKK/white supremacist community is startling.

While the alt-left has existed in various forms at different periods, protesting different movements, the current Antifa have gained the undeserved status of being equated to the Klan and neo-**** community.

While the alt-right has long awaited this showdown, Antifa groups have a long way to go before they reach the status of the original American terrorist organization, the KKK. And they aren’t even close to **** status. To date, Antifa has claimed exactly zero lives in their ill-conceived crusades against the alt-right.

 

Moreover, Antifa is much more American than these white supremacist groups.

While America certainly has a reprehensible racial past, the seeds of the modern alt-right community are found in the **** party, whose original rhetoric informs much of the white supremacist dialogue today. How and when did these ****s get here? And when did they adopt the Confederate flag?

Regardless of how one feels about that flag, it is not the same as a **** flag; it would be wise for folks who support the public display of the Confederate flag to denounce that symbol’s co-option by the original global terror network.

 

While the alt-left and the alt-right are certainly both morally reproachable, the alt-left hasn’t earned the right to be equivocated to the Klan. While we can certainly denounce their actions, let’s not forget America’s, nor the world’s, original terrorists.
