[@glenbellefonte9620]

Oh, knock it off.

[@noBearAdventures]

I’ll never forget the moment i listened to “A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste”. My buddy’s dad had a CRAZY system. One day after school we went to his house when his family was away and my buddy Bob says “you guys wanna hear something insane”? We lit up a few J’s, cracked a few forties, and Bob cues up “Thieves” and cranked the shit out of his dad’s system. I was never the same again.

[@jeannoel43]

[@SvenTviking]

The trouble with Antifa is that they call anybody who even slightly disagrees with them “Fascist”, and that diminishes the term and the evil it represents. With that, they become evil themselves, and also hand the role if victim to the real fascists. Other anti fascist movements in the past have successfully fought fascism without turning on ordinary democratic conservatives or even anybody that isn’t hard left wing. Let’s put it this way. There are many in Antifa who would be just as gleefully genocidal in dealing with those who they disagree as an average fascist and they are in no way democratic.

[@itookallthenames]

[@professionalnutcase5422]

@@SvenTviking Feeling alright in your little filter bubble? With every single of your pointless accusations and generalisations you emphasize the lack of a single argument. It's just an outburst against every one not sharing your political point of view - too ironical regarding your speech. Guess what? It doesn't need anybody to be "hard left wing" to support human rights and fight racism, sexism, antisemitism and classism and the representatives of the latter ones, like Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Kim, as-Sisi. Guess what else? Being a conservative necessarily requires being anitfascist as democratic pluralism is implemented only based on a clear repudiation of fascism. You feel a little rejected? Right. Because you've just swapped fascists with antifascists and confused critical thinking with undisputed obedience. Thanks for the chitchat.
