Getting some pushback currently I see: Winston Marshall because he's praised a book critical of antifa.
Mumford & Sons Banjo Player Praises Right-Wing Agitator Andy Ngo's 'Important' Book
No one is perfect. Best to divest the Art from the Artist.

I like mr peterson I don't agree with everything he says but I find him helpful at times
Responsible for violence? Not afaik, antifa is not a group with membership, or even common ideals. It's anyone who doesn't support fascism. Which means I fall into this camp.

You have literally said that it's not a group, but it is a group. There doesn't need to be a membership. I mean I'm anti racist (as I'm sure most of us here are) but I wouldnt be called antifa meaning it's a name u opt into. So yeah definitely a group of people.
It's a loose collection of people who agree fascism is bad. It is not an organized group of people out causing problems or coordinating insurrections, unlike say the Proud Boys.

They are out causing problems though people who claim to be antifa are being violent towards people. They organize marches make pamphlets fliers etc so clearly there is some organisation to it.
What Is Antifa? Separating Fact From Fiction
Organizing? I mean maybe at the local level (always been a small antifa group in portland, thanks to it being a hot bed for white supremacists). But any widescale damage, or confrontations have been mostly debunked, or never actually occured. So methinks you're drinking the kool aid.

I read the last one buddy and I got anything other than there is an element in antifa that is violent he the one drinking the coolaide
. It even talk about how they communicate I over the internet and organize counter protests so I'm even skeptical about local level stuff.I come from northern ireland were terrorist attack where done by a minority of people but effected the majority of others. U might think that these attacks just silly small things but my country knows first hand how these things can grow

Just read the second one, mate did you read these it talks about them intimidating people and harassing people with no extremist background
Yes, it also states it's a loose collection of individuals with varying ideals, and no structure. Which was what I stated, "mate".
It's not a group you combat, it's a reaction to far right extremist organization.
I don't speak for Ireland, fyi, it's a nation the size of one US city, any group bigger then 50 could be conceived as a threat there.
Also, this wasn't the point of this thread. Enjoy the music. If you want to discuss antifa, make a new thread.

Awk I didn't mean to annoy you buddy sorry if I did. Genuinely
No annoyance, I just don't want to distract from genuinely good music, I wanted for others to enjoy.

My son suffers from bipolar disorder, and he says that song saved his life as he was suicidal and hoping his old flame would return to him, and she did.
BTW, I have the CD it's on, and I love it.
I never could stand that song. Not now and not when it came out. Now they've decided to play it at work. Ugh!
Sorry, friend.
