Just to clarify, antifa became an issue after trump started quoting a twitter antifa account, which was run by a right wing, white supremacy guy.
It is a good example of social media being used to radicalise the right wing, in fact.
- perl4ever 6y agoThat was very recent and people have been talking about antifa for years. Not to suggest it was the first false flag or whatever. But I distinctly remember people ranting about them around the time of the Virginia protests.
- arcseco 6y agoI vaguely remember a story a few years ago about a guy receiving a blow to the head from a bike lock and requiring therapy for potential brain damage from said blow.
- m0zg 6y agoI vaguely remember the leftists cheering, too.
- klyrs 6y agoLet's be clear, that sucks, but it's nowhere near the radicalization we've seen on the right. Boogaloos shooting cops, neo-nazis responsible for numerous synagogue / church / mosque shootings, driving cars into crowds, etc. aren't really comparable to a bike lock to the head.
- vorpalhex 6y agoThe Jewish deli shooting, the Dallas cop shooter... the list goes on.
