Title: The ANTIFA Manual: Exposed — BULLSHIT … Antifa is not a concrete group – rather it is loosely organized radicals in an amorphous movement. The adherents to this decentralized movement have no known leaders, no headquarters, and no clear ideology other than opposition to whatever its adherents see as right-wing, or fascist, movements. There is no organizational structure binding the Antifa movement's adherents together. It varies with some focusing on environmental causes or the rights of Indigenous groups, others for the rights of LGBT activists. The first group to use the word "Antifa" in its branding was the Rose City Antifa (RCA) founded in 2007 in Portland, Oregon. Now, 13 years later Intellihub expects everyone to believe they suddenly laid their hands on on a “closely controlled copy” of: The official ANTIFA playbook known as The ANTIFA Manual [and it] was sent to Intellihub via Interweb backchannel and will be posted here for your viewing pleasure. This is the Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook (Paperback): By Mark Bray and you can order a copy here for $16.99. The National Bestseller is: “Focused and persuasive... Bray’s book is many things: the first English- language transnational history of antifa, a how-to for would-be activists, and a record of advice from anti-Fascist organizers past and present.”—THE NEW YORKER "Insurgent activist movements need spokesmen, intellectuals and apologists, and for the moment Mark Bray is filling in as all three... The book’s most enlightening contribution is on the history of anti-fascist efforts over the past century, but its most relevant for today is its justification for stifling speech and clobbering white supremacists."—Carlos Lozada, THE WASHINGTON POST “[Bray’s] analysis is methodical, and clearly informed by both his historical training and 15 years of organizing, which included Occupy Wall Street…Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook couldn’t have emerged at a more opportune time. Bray’s arguments are incisive and cohesive, and his consistent refusal to back down from principle makes the book a crucial intervention in our political moment.”— SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE This is probably where Intellihub got the idea for their story.

I see you're quoting from their latest press release. Or perhaps you saw it on MSNBC.

So you say.

It seems to me that you are defending the shit bags.

I see you're quoting from their latest press release. I see you are again posting more fake news bullshit. It seems to me that you are defending the shit bags. What always “seems to you” is only what you are predisposed to already believe.

What I learned from the Antifa handbook: For starters, you won’t believe who is defined as a 'fascist' It’s called “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” but it feels like false advertising. You open the little book expecting a how-to guide on violence and disruption. But instead of giving advice on how to shut people up with baseball bats, the handbook is really a rather dull lecture. Ever since the election of Donald Trump, the American Antifa movement has gone into overdrive, shutting down speeches and rallies, and spreading mayhem across the U.S. And now here comes author Mark Bray – a lecturer at Dartmouth College and an Occupy Wall Street organizer – attempting to give philosophical justification to a movement so certain of its righteousness that it’s not going to let a little thing like free speech get in the way. Bray spends most of his time tracing the history of the movement, but finally gets to the heart of the matter, and the argument isn’t hard to follow. In essence: tolerance and reason don’t work, and you don’t wait for a small problem to get bigger, so let’s start beating heads. Antifa gets to decide who the fascists are, and don’t look now, but it’s you. There are obvious objections to this. And though Bray struggles mightily to overcome them, he’s simply not up to it. Of course, no one is. But as a result of this close-minded thinking, we’ve got a violent movement convinced it has the right to be judge, jury and executioner because it has identified a deserving enemy. Now even if this worked in theory, we already know it doesn’t work in practice. Because the guardians of goodness who fill Antifa’s ranks don’t just shout down neo-Nazis and other racists who deserve total condemnation (but not the loss of their constitutional rights). They also disrupt and commit violence at mainstream Republicans rallies, and attack anyone they’ve deemed unacceptable. In other words, Antifa gets to decide who the fascists are, and don’t look now, but it’s you. Mind you, Bray does attempt to explain what fascism looks like. Its hallmarks include a preoccupation with victimhood, a cult of purity, abandonment of liberty and redemptive violence. I know, you’re ahead of me – that sounds like the Antifa movement. But they can’t be fascist because ... Bray says they can’t. Fascists can only be the people who don’t share the left’s views on race, gender and immigration (their views at present, that is – not necessarily what they believed a generation or two ago). Now don’t get me wrong. Ideas have consequences. Indeed, the biggest irony in this unintentionally ironic book is that while Bray wants to save the world, the revolutionary socialism he calls for would actually impoverish and enslave everyone. And I don’t consider that conjecture – it’s the verdict of history. But the point is not whether I’m right or wrong (because I am right, after all), but whether or not I should adopt the logic and tactics of Bray. If I did, he wouldn’t be allowed to express his ideas. He couldn’t publish books, gives speeches, and perhaps not hold a job or even walk in public unmolested. And to Bray, that should be business as usual – as long as he gets to schedule the beatings. The value of “The Anti-Fascist Handbook” is that it strips bare the radical roots of the Antifa movement. It is in strict opposition to a liberal society, and Bray isn’t afraid to say it out loud, and at length. It’s good to see that lately some Democrats (perhaps after glancing at the polls) have denounced the Antifa movement. The only mystery is, why haven’t they all?

There is no organizational structure binding the Antifa movement's adherents together. It varies with some focusing on environmental causes or the rights of Indigenous groups, others for the rights of LGBT activists. So you say. What do you say?

What do you say?

I'd say it's a pretty naive and simplistic description. antifa is only one part of a larger global leftist political movement. You did know that, right?

I find it interesting that you ignore the more violent aspects of antifa and BLM.

I'd say it's a pretty naive and simplistic description. All you have to say is that: … it's a pretty naive and simplistic description. That’s ALL? I find it interesting that you ignore the more violent aspects of antifa … At 4 hours 12 minutes and 43 seconds into the discussion, you suddenly become audacious and make a futile attempt to chastise me for not mentioning “the more violent aspects of antifa.” When The ANTIFA Manual never mentioned “the more violent aspects of antifa;” the author during his grammatical exercise of breaking down the text into its component parts with giving an explanation never mentioned “the more violent aspects of antifa and you had never mentioned “the more violent aspects of antifa” – you then suddenly for some pretentiously veiled reasoning attempt to impress by affecting this to be of such greater importance when it has never heretofore been mentioned. REALLY? I find it interesting that you ignore the […] BLM. The article and manual are not about the “BLM” – it is solely about “antifa.” Antifa is only one part of a larger global leftist political movement. You did know that, right? The article, manual and remarks on this thread have ONLY been discussing antifa and not any other “larger global leftist political movements.” You did realize this when you intentionally strayed off topic to deflect your inept ability to continue the discussion on the merits – and the lack thereof – of the article and manual. RIGHT?

The article, manual and remarks on this thread have ONLY been discussing antifa and not any other “larger global leftist political movements.”

Just tryin' to educate you Sparky, you know - get you up to speed on what's really going on in the real world while you endlessly pontificate and attempt to minimize the antifa/BLM hooliganism.

These terrorists and their allies are actively seeking to destroy America from within.

Ignore them at your own peril.

Have a nice day.

The article, manual and remarks on this thread have ONLY been discussing antifa and not any other “larger global leftist political movements.” Just tryin' to educate you Sparky, you know … No, I don’t know that. Please show where anything you have posted on this thread is “educational” and explain why you think it is. … you endlessly pontificate and attempt to minimize the antifa/BLM hooliganism. Point out where you think I have “minimized antifa.” BLM was never under discussion here. These terrorists and their allies are actively seeking to destroy America from within. And what exactly is the purpose behind your posting all the despotically; overbearing, tyrannical anti-government and cop-hating articles you post and religiously support? Explain that. Ignore them at your own peril. Unneeded and unwanted advice - I shall never do that. Have a nice day. I always do …

And what exactly is the purpose behind your posting all the despotically; overbearing, tyrannical anti-government and cop-hating articles you post and religiously support?

Oh, I still throw in one or two of those just to piss you off.

How AGWs “Date”

However, my attitude towards cops has softened somewhat due to recent events, in fact in some cases, the cops needed to be more aggressive.

And I'm sure the rank and file cops wanted to take control of the situation but their hands were tied by corrupt mayors who allowed the rioters free reign.

I now have a little more sympathy for cops, but there are still far too many who abuse their positions.

Narrow-minded people are shown to be very opinionated about those around them and have strong desires to try and intentionally offend them. The narrow-minded person may be quick to prejudge the reactions of others to their offensive actions. They will lead their lives according to them, do whatever they like to do, choose their own lifestyle , but will criticize others if they do agree with them Did I miss anything in describing you and your admitted actions? However, my attitude towards cops has softened somewhat due to recent events … Somewhat? Too Little – Too Late, asshole hypocrite. AMERICA IS BURNING. And you helped light the fire with your hateful rhetoric …

And you helped light the fire with your hateful rhetoric …

Yada, yada, yada.

Somewhat?

Too Little – Too Late, asshole hypocrite.

What's really insane is that you actually believe that you are relevant and that the shit you post is true.

Get a life tosser.

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.

For example, a bully may project their own feelings of vulnerability onto the target. It incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping.

What's really insane is that you actually believe that you are relevant and that the shit you post is true. /font> It’s all true and definitely most relevant. You are just in denial. Pathetic …

More incoherent babble.

More incoherent babble. /font> Reading comprehension should have been the ultimate goal when you were learning to read as a child. It obviously was not.

Hypocrite much asshole?

Wow, you really are senile.

Feeling kinda sorry for you now pal.

Maybe you should crawl away again like you've done so many times before and take a break from being an utter asshole.

Shut your prissy little schoolmarm-lecturing pie-hole princess.

Nobody gives a shit about your psychobabble.

Oh, I upset you. Control yourself …
