93, care to take a crack at the above question that you seemingly overlooked?

Or are you giving your 'cool' Antifa a pass in the same manner that you seek to paint the opposite side?

Honesty, if you are going to laud 'antifa' because they are 'strongly opposed to white nationalists', I find it very strange that you would fail to mention the opposite.

Personally I find both groups absolute fing scumbags --- and really find zero redemption for *either* the white nationalists *or* the violent neo-marxists and/or neo-anarchists for their mutual hatred of one another.

I find it pretty telling that when you stop to toss a bone to antifa for the 'strong[] opposition' to a bunch of scumbags, that you apparently do not find that bone for the white nationalists for the 'strong[] opposition' to the shitbirds you find a streak of redemption for.

Viewpoint based inconsistency I guess.

Sure... the opposite side of the coin will show that one redemptive quality of white nationalists is their opposition to violent neo-Marxists. Their many less-than-redemptive qualities hugely outweigh this redemptive quality, though. IMO much more so than the less-than-redemptive qualities of antifa does.

I was not "lauding" antifa... I was responding to the post which stated that there is not a single redemptive quality of this group.

I am with you in that I wish both antifa and the alt-right groups would disappear off of the face of the earth.

"I am with you in that I wish both antifa and the alt-right groups would disappear off of the face of the earth" . . . but based on the bolded, if you had to pick one to stick around, it would be antifa, huh?

I have been watching this ping pong match and what I am seeing is that the conservatives here don't have a problem equally condemning these two collections of s**tbags. Why are you finding it so hard? You're doing about as well as Trump did with Charlottesville . . . which I have no doubt you criticized him for.

Yes. I think that white nationalists are worse than the Antifa. I don’t like either of them as is clear from my posts. But if you have a gun to my head and ask me which is worse then I will go with white nationalists. How about you?

Ha ha. This is real simple, dude. They're both beyond the pale. No point in parsing degrees of evil between Nazis and Communists, gonorrhea and syphilis, or (for me) UT and A&M. Simply say something on the order of neither is to be supported, neither makes the earth a better place one whit, and move on.

And if you think Trump's similar unforced error re: Charlottesville says something about where his heart truly lies (do you?), should I not draw similarly unflattering conclusions about yours?
