The one thing that really sucks - we can't enforce no mask laws right now because of Covid.

And it seems neither side is interested in social distancing, either...Nor in abiding by "stay at home" rules.

Strangely, only one side gets castigated by the media about this, however.

And strange how just the other day the mayor of New York was threatening to arrest Jewish funeral goers, but now he seems content to let "protestors" simply "blow off steam."

Because one side is actually making their protest about the social distancing, making signs and statements about how they are purposefully ignoring it, while the other is incidental on their fight. Which side do you think is the anti-science side? Those who believe that it is just a flu, or the side sick of government not caring about the lives of people?

Donald Trump won't even wear a mask, and made fun of his opposition for doing so, saying that it is being politically correct.

Or is it that one side are willing to make their belief regarding the issue public and stand up for it, while the other side also make their beliefs known but lack the conviction to stand by those beliefs, rejecting them when they are inconvenient? After all, how difficult would it be for the protesters to stand at the "required" distance if they were truely concerned or believed in the requirement?

And yet, when looking at all the protests in recent times, what level of violence and property damage comes from the right-wing protests (when not confronted by "counter protesters"), what level from left-wing protests (when not confronted by "counter protesters"), and what level from protests when confronted by "counter protesters"?

I'm struggling to think of a recent right-wing protest (where no counter-protest group appeared) which involved violence or property damage...

There is a lot of violence from extremist right wingers, just not from riots.

Those are made by fans of Trump, by the way.

Vandalism of veterans' monuments and other landmarks in Washington.

Is that what you consider as terrorism?

I said one protest is implicitly about wearing a mask, while the other is not, maybe including people with various opinions on masks and distancing, but is not what their protests are about.

By the same logic you could say that that one of them makes their belief regarding of unjust tyranny by the system in taking away equal rights, but the other also makes their know but lack of conviction to stand by those beliefs when it happens to black people. That all of those people that are so vocal about being able to fight back against a government if it turned 'tyranical', they sure get quiet when it is actually done to minority groups.

It's not even an organization...or if it is, it's a really bad one because it's not organized at all. It seems the neo nazis, are better organized than antifa.

In 2019 there were 44 incidents of domestic terrorism in America. Of these 19 were carried out by white supremacists. See link below. I don't see Antifa anywhere on the charts.

Well that is because they are not actually an organized group...I am willing to bet some people are even very much part time 'antifa'. All you have to do to be considered antifa is call yourself that...there is no ideology or group to join up with. Some people who have called themselves antifa have committed violence(mostly throwing stuff, beating up a couple people, still I have not heard of an antifa person murdering someone). But its just such a loosely grouped thing it barely makes sense to tall it an organization let alone a 'terrorist' organization.

Assault and throwing things at people is certainly criminal but not sure it's the same thing as terrorism. I think at the very least for something to be considered a terrorist attack people have to be killed in it and even then killing doesn't always = terrorism either.

There is much talk that Antifa is not organized,but that's the beauty of a conspiracy.The left hand doesn't need to know what the right hand is doing

Omfg the oath keepers are just a bunch of vets who still honor the oath they swore when joining the military so what about that oath to protect the nation and constitution worries you? But then your not even from the USA so you won’t know s**t about that I suppose.

A clandestine cell system is a method for organizing a group of people such as resistance fighters, sleeper agents, or terrorists so that such people can more effectively resist penetration by an opposing organization (such as law enforcement).

Hope it’s worth the possible ban. You’ve gotten more radical last year. Miss the old you,
