    Oh your opinions aren't villainous, that would be giving them far too much credit. A villain has power, has the ability to sway other people to their thought processes and then onto action. Whether it be through money, ideology or any other lever :)

    Your opinions are welcome because there are many moderate thinking liberal folks around here that upon viewing your opinions sheer insanity must ask themselves questions.

    This country as much as it pains leftists is still run by moderates. We put the majority into office. Just like we did Trump. Moderate liberals and moderate conservatives. We put him there Deplorables did not.

    We will continue to do so as long as leftists don't compromise.

    I'm thinking your opinions might have potential as a moderate liberal once you get bored with losing. Not as if your not intelligent. I suspect bored.

    Refusal to acknowledge (yes they are scum) the fringe Nazi's and Klan's right to protest yet chief apologist for the terrorist Antifa group. By the way, and you failed to acknowledge until there is a trial, nobody knows what the intent of the driver in Charlottesville was. There is way too much conflicting video evidence to be judge and jury that that knucklehead was intentionally targeting leftist protesters and onlookers.
    It's okay. We know where you stand.

    You know nothing about me at all unless you're a hacker or have a hacker's info on me.

    What you know about me, or anyone online whom you don't know, is what you imagine to be true.

    Make sure you imagine effectively, which is what you're not doing, and I can tell because you're attempting to tell me who and what I am and your making a pig's sphincter of it.

    When they read this, there will be neo-nazis, ku klux klan, white supremacists, and other racists squawking "Antifa!", "Antifa!", "Antifa!"

    (Do they get a cracker from their ideological radio entertainers every time they do that?)

    Rev. Robert Lee IV's infamous ancestor "is being used as a symbol for hate and white supremacy."

    Once again, a courageous ant-fascist peacefully condemns hatred, and is attacked for doing so:

    It is extremely ironic that you are using blatant racism to justify racism.

    Do you expect any intelligent person to buy this argument? How do you precisely you even know how many members there are of Antifa? A group that in America has been around for little less than a decade, that is a loose organization with no central philosophy, and this somehow is supposed to be a greater threat than White Nationalist Neo Nazis who have killed far more than any Antifa or far left group?

    I have come to the conclusion it is impossible to even address the demented logic that is routinely displayed on these forums. I don't know if you think you're selling this, or just convincing yourselves of the stuff you hear from your alt right media gods who exploit this kind of ignorance.

    Is the neo nazi organization in the united states currently engaged in murdering large numbers of individuals?

    That's a damn shame. Sounds like a good kid and what I don't get is why anyone cares about statues?

    You leftists can't stay on the same page for more than a minute you know that? Here in this post your praising a young man and holding him up as a victim who is being persecuted because other leftists opinions like yours somehow for some reason have declared war on his ancestors statue. Stupidly I might add.

    White Nationalists are defending the General Lees memory from dumb arsed lefty let's rewrite history movement atm. Yes yes take down the statues it'll mean slavery never happened. General Lee was a warrior. He didn't even own slaves.

    Robert E. Lee, the commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia and (from 1865) the general-in-chief of Confederate forces, neither owned slaves nor inherited any, thus it is not correct to assert that he “freed his slaves” (in 1862 or at any other time).

    As in the case of Ulysses S. Grant, the slaves that Lee supposedly owned actually belonged to his father-in-law, George Washington Parke Custis, and lived and worked on the three estates owned by Custis (Arlington, White House, and Romancoke). Upon Custis’ death in 1857, Lee did not “inherit” those slaves; rather, he carried out the directions expressed in Custis’ will regarding those slaves (and other property) according to his position as executor of Custis’ estate.

    So I have in the end no idea what your post is trying to say. The young man is misled too.

    I think everyone's opinion on this is stupid just about.

    < spits > what a bunch of leftist holier than thou drivel. It's your opinion that is full of half truths or outright lies then turns around and points at other saying they're not logical.

    Your opinion hides behind vagueness. ANTIFA like BLM has formed chapters and communicate via social media. There's alot of them. Mainly anarchists, socialist, progressive left types but they are young highly motivated and bat chit crazy... And very violent.

    Your leftist trolling opinion continues with claims that neo nahtze have killed more than ANTIFA etc etc but the reality is the KKK and other Neo Nahtzes are shunned by most conservative folks in today's times. They are only getting a resurgence and a few new members not many because of yep ANTIFA. LOOK at pics online just random white nationalist protesters and what not... They're old lol.

    America left them behind but ANTIFA and other radical leftist groups like BLM risk making these white racist groups relevant again.

    ANTIFA is all over the news beating up people en masse and you don't take it serious? CALIFORNIA lawmakers do. Bout to shut that chit down. Put that little tidbit in your demented logic pipe opinion and smoke it. California the haven of all things leftist is crapping on your opinion. Legally.

    Yep.

    The numbers mean nothing. Show us the actual citations. Show us the murders that can be directly linked to neo nazi activity in the united states.

    Feel free to write the author of that article who compiled those numbers: https://www.cato.org/people/alex-nowrasteh

    Though it's a forgone conclusion you won't do anything to challenge your preconceived notions.

    This nonsense has been presented before, when the argumentative narrative was that who are white and identify with conservative ideologies, have murdered more individuals than islamic terrorists. However the gathering of data was done in a skewed manner to arrive at these conclusions, and deliberately excluded september eleventh as an act of islamic terrorism.

    That's possible. I think the public is a little more awake now than they used to be, so maybe not.
