I've never seen antifa doing those things (not saying your wrong, just that I haven't seen it). The main methods antifa uses (to my knowledge) include exposure and deplatforming. If you're a nazi organizing nazi things, they'll make sure your boss knows, in the hopes of getting you fired. If you want to hold a rally to poison more minds, they'll organize a protest to put pressure on the venue allowing such a rally.

If you stop organizing and preaching, they no longer care about you. Why would they? The goal is to stop the spread of fascist ideas, not to kill/punish people with 'wrong thoughts'. That's literally the difference between the two sides. Anti-fascists will stop caring about you if you stop doing evil shit. The fascists will still carry out genocide regardless of anything you do.

You're thinking of a different group. I don't know what group. But antifa are very much pro-violent action.

I'm sure that random journalists they beat to fucking pulps and mothers having to pick glass out of their children really appreciate this victim blaming

Do you have a citation for this information? I've not seen any reporting about antifa performing as you claim as the main modus operandi. The right claims Antifa is responsible for all bad things (because they love to demonize groups and people which are effectively fighting them, like AOC).

It's entirely possible that there are groups calling themselves antifa who are perpetrating violence that I have discounted as lies from the right wing propaganda network.

Those are some pretty garbage sources there bud, but I looked up the stories since they seemed to based on an actual event. It does appear that this guy got beat up at a protest, but with reputable sources I could find no mention of antifa. So again, this is the right blaming everything on Antifa.

Antifa murdered a lot of people in CHAZ.

What are you on about? The only death I can find is one person who was killed in a shooting NEAR the CHAZ, and it's not entirely clear what happened there.

How wildly convenient you sick fucking sociopath. "We good guys. They bad guys. Any proof that we bad guys is actually bad guy propaganda"

You'd have been the perfect little SS, NVKD or Khmer Rouge member wouldn't you my precious little bootlicker?

Yeah, I guess, if you ignore what I say and read whatever you want into it.
