Antifa on the Internet
Let’s black block the internet!
If I were going to move to another country it would probably be New Zealand. If a conservative thinks that America is too liberal and they want to get out, there aren’t any wealthy countries for them to move to because they are all more liberal than the USA. Conservatives are stuck with authoritarian hell holes like Russia or Bulgaria.
If liberals are upset that the USA is getting too conservative, they have an array of choices. New Zealand is high on my list after Canada and Scotland.
So the shooting at the mosque in Christchurch hurt me as if it was in my own town. And it got me thinking.
Fulfilling the expectations of evil is stupid
I hate bigots. Bigotry is a thin skin covering murder and death.
I don’t like the Antifa commitment to meet violence with violence. I understand the impulse. The fascists are violent. All they understand is violence. Therefore it’s easy for fascists — and the press — to imagine that Antifa is as violent as the fascists. They all expect it and Antifa occasionally fulfills their expectations.
Fulfilling the expectations of evil is stupid. Fascists need to be surprised, confused and disrupted. They have an amazing victim narrative. Ask them…
