Certain people on the left. Hmmm...
http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/24/armed ... st-police/Now, the "alt-right" is just as filthy. so what's the difference between them?
Its getting to the point in America and Europe, where the differences between "right" and "left" politically, are being blurred and disappearing.

personally I don't care what you call them all. They are violent, awful people who need a good spanking.

Now who's dreaming in technicolor?
Pants-of-dog wrote:Yes, your thread title is hilarious considering the fact that the alt-left does not exist.
Did anyone ask you to take part?

If I am supposed to be all healing and mature, what do I get out of it?
Peace? Besides, I didn't say "compromise", did I.
No I said IGNORE.

I know how to stop racist bullies, as I lived in the prairies decades ago when racisst used to drive around looking for minorities to beat up.
Me too. Yet I also remember those pricks being identified and shunned by their piers, and when caught, punished by the law.

So I should just ignore the racism that people target at me and mine each day. So that it keeps happening.
No. I get nothing out of that, unless you count "having to live with racism" as a benefit.
In conclusion, I should just accept racism and let racist people do whatever they want and sit meekly by because you decided that these imaginary alt-left exist.
No.
I'm not your keeper, nor do I care to stop you from waging this battle.
But you must realize that your opposition and confrontation tactics, only prod these shitty people to get louder and stronger. You do not have the power to stop them, and neither does the law, as long as they don't hurt anybody.
I don't think someone like me, can really appreciate your position. You are...unique.
But at present, the legal system we enjoy, affords citizens the right to voice their opinion. And, being that actors at the extremes of either side are basically angry shit-heads, there are enough people around who will abuse this right in order to hurt people...mostly emotionally.
I would only ask, I suppose, that you use your "senses". ALL of them. Which includes your eyes.
Examine the optics of ur typical alt-right/alt-left encounter. Examine the recounts of the sequence of events. And examine the results.
The Antifa "brand", if that makes you feel better about it, is currently taking it in the proverbial teeth right now. And why? Because AT the Charlottesville riot, and in the aftermath, they managed to give themselves a black-eye. Is that really something you want to associate yourself with?
There are no good choices. Probably because racism is such a basic and destructive instinct in today's world. But it exists, and its rather obvious now that the tactics of this "alt-left" don't work.
On the other hand, one could make a career outta racism. Use it as a tool for financing. Like a professional activist. But then again, you wind up having to aline yourself with advocates for destruction and violence against...society.
Like I said, I don't know if there's a "good" choice available.
There is one that works though.
Ignore "stupidity".
