Your argument doesn't make any sense. Investigating one group doesn't preclude investigating the other.

I agree with an agenda to counter white supremacists. But saying that some antifa groups are extreme isn't really that controversial, is it? I don't know that they would even disagree.

  That's a very tactical criticism. It seems like something very important is being lost in these comparisons. The primary criticism of Nazis and white supremacists is not their tactics or their protests, it's that they are fucking Nazis and white supremacists.

    It's not tactical criticism, it is a personal account of what anyone can see by searching youtube for "antifa": that they're thugs who use their supposed "anti-fascism" as a pretext for their thuggery. If there aren't any nazis, a good old international summit will do.

  I didn't expect to be impressed by that. I'm impressed by that. Not sure I agree, but it is well argued and written. (And yes, I know Rehage from his extended perambulation....)

  And ... having considered it, I reject the approriateness to the present situation. Notably: this failed in the case of Nazi Germany, rather profoundly. https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/RCGDd2GtSau https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/RCGDd2Gt...
