		<description><![CDATA[Antifa groups are SJWs on steroids.

It seems that individualist cultures like ours are prone to abstract moral ideals and have a weaker sense of ethnic ingroup solidarity. Moral universalism along with extreme egalitarianism can lead to forms of thinking and behaving which are definitely pathological, like that of SJWs and antifa groups. They really think they&#039;re saving the world and fighting Evil with a capital E. Their moral ingroup provides them with emotional reassurance and encouragement.

I don&#039;t think they have antifa groups in countries like Mongolia, Saudi Arabia or Zambia.

Besides, they are not anti-establishment, as they claim to be. In a way, they are the stormtroopers of the current dispensation (I agree with Mark Citadel). The progressive political environment of Western countries is their compost.

I suspect many of them are somewhat reprogrammable. &quot;MK Ultra&quot; methods would do the trick.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Anti-Fascist groups do have a purpose. They fill an important need for their members. This is the desire to feel noble and special and pure in soul. After all, Fascism is bad. And they are anti-Fascists. So they must be good. Watching these protesters in action we are invited to witness a psychodrama of good versus evil. It is political peacocking at its very worst, a narcissistic display of self-righteousness. They may claim their objective is the protection of the most vulnerable, but this rings more hollow the closer you observe them. What they are really after, and I suspect, so are the people they oppose, is the validation that comes from being part of the group.&quot;  This is the best paragraph I have read in a long time.  I have often thought this but have been unable to express it so well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is even more extreme in Sweden, where the thuggery of anti-fascist mobs has become so publicly acceptable that footage of them breaking into the apartments of supposed &#039;right wingers&#039; finds its way into popular music videos. The thing about these groups is: they show up. If the propagandists of anti-fascist inc. contact their huge mailing list, everyone will show up with glee that they&#039;ve outnumbered what is usually less than 100 &#039;fascists&#039; with 1000s of people. It&#039;s like the ten minute hate. Ugly feminists, moronic students, ethnic bile, sodomites. This is the muckraker class who would have no power whatsoever in a Traditionally hierarchical civilization, but thanks to Modernity they can amass with often murderous intent and puff their chests out.

The police often do a good job of holding them back, but rest-assured these people are no more measured in their violence than Mao&#039;s Red Guard. They are the shocktroopers just in case the media and government intimidation doesn&#039;t work. None of them are heroic of course, but large numbers give people the confidence they need to throw a pipe bomb into your house or terrorize your children.

Antifa scum are not viewed much differently from the abortionist in my mind. Legitimate targets for just war when the situation allows. Believe me, they wish us nothing less. And if Reaction continues to grow, it will not be long before proxy organizations like the Southern Modernity Law Center start sniffing around. Antifa are not just about confrontations in the street. They are also about harassment off the streets as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You imply that the threat of fascism is remote. That is the farthest from the case. The threat of fascism is constant, serious and real, because fascism is *true* and reality always has a way of asserting itself. 

Bruce Charlton laid it out as a conflict between PC and common sense, or CS. Anything that is not PC is common sense, but common sense is fascist. Reality itself is fascist. Any attempt to deal with reality is going to be fascist or very close to fascist. 

Islam is evil and predatory, Africans are evil and predatory, and people who are not English, ethnically and culturally, don&#039;t belong in England. Communism is ridiculous because a few terrorists with worthless liberal arts degrees claiming to run things for the &quot;workers&quot; is ridiculous. Capitalism is ridiculous because a small group of businessmen claiming to run things for the benefit of everybody is ridiculous. Any efficacious and practical solution to any problem that accounts for reality will be met by howls of outrage from communists, capitalists, non-conformist preachers, experts in primary education, and a variety of other worthless parasites. 

Terrorizing people who notice the Emperor&#039;s lack of clothes is crucial, because it is really important that people not notice this, and if they do notice this keep their mouths shut. Antifas have only a small role to play, but on some level they are just as important as teachers and human resource managers.]]></description>
