Antifa GOP New Boogeyman: But, Are Antifa & GOP's Fav “Alt-Right” Equally Violent

Alt-Right flags seen at “their racist events”

Nazi flag gets our blood boiling, but it can't be outlawed

On this post, more to the point when definitions have meaning and matter are these two definitions below and some background information from fact-checker Snopes here.

Alt-Right (Alternative Right): A loosely-connected and somewhat ill-defined groups of white supremacists, white nationalists, neo-Nazis, neo-Fascists, neo-Confederates, Holocaust deniers, and other extreme far-right fringe hate groups.

Antifa (Anti-Fascist): A conglomeration of far left wing autonomous, self-styled anti-fascist militant groups.

The principal feature of Antifa groups is their use of direct action, harassing those whom they identify as fascists, racists, or right wing extremists.

Background: Violence has been ratcheting up on all sides during the white supremacist rally and confrontation in Charlottesville, VA in August 2017 between the two groups and this follow-up story from the LA TIMES.

But Antifa is not planning these rallies, and statistically poses a lesser danger than Alt-Right.

Words to live by: “Violence (or hate) begets violence (and hate).” (Martin Luther King, Jr.)
