Except there's noting acceptable about it. The only people who find it acceptable are the crazy bastards that are already members of the groups.
That's different from Antifa. There are many on the left who support and defend Antifa quite openly. But Antifa is no better than the KKK.

OK.. nobody jump down my throat because I'm trying to understand this...
How is Antifa equivalent to the KKK? Their stated cause is to limit the platform of far-right extremists/white nationalists/etc. I personally find their methods unacceptable.
But no better than the KKK? Help me understand your statement.

I do not believe that Antifa's "stated" cause is actually their reason for existence. Their activities extend far beyond anything that could reasonably be described as limiting the platform of far-right extremists/white nationalists/etc. They exist to push communist propaganda.

If I existed to push communist propaganda, I would find something else to claim as my "stated" cause, wouldn't you?

I seem to hear about them only in reference to clashes with white nationalists. What else do they do to push propaganda?

If they define everybody they protest against as "white nationalists", I guess your statement would be correct.

Antifa

They often denounce capitalism and government. Since Trump entered the world stage, they've condemned his push to tighten immigration rules

If you come down on the side of wearing masks and committing violence, you are probably going to come down on the wrong side. MLK and Ghandi did not commit violence. Rosa Parks did not wear a mask.

You are either for them or against them. I am against them. You?
