Antifa and the "Mainstream" Media's Normalization of Leftwing Violence

I added in the bit about the "mainstream" media -- the rest is John Sexton's headline.

Read his post, and if you like the quotes, check out Megan McArdle's article: "We Didn't Normalize Trump. We Normalized the Left's Violence."

Over 200 years, many people have suggested ways in which we might be better off without freedom of speech, or religion, or assembly -- or any of the other rights enumerated in the nine other initial amendments...

That's normal. What should never be normal is what we are now witnessing: those folks appointing themselves a freelance constitutional convention, editing out the rights they find vexing, and enforcing their new rules with the power of their fists. But that is what has happened.


If we have to spend $600,000 to ensure that these people cannot arrogate to themselves powers we won't even allow our government, then that's probably a price worth paying. What we cannot afford to do is become inured to how outrageous it is. Every time it happens, we have to remind ourselves that all this security is the price we’re paying to protect ourselves from thieves who want to steal our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. And that it is possible to once again live in a world where this is not normal.

She doesn't mention the part that makes antifa more dangerous than white supremacists: White supremacists are despised by 99% of the population and have next-to-zero institutional support. But the media makes excuses for their fellow-travelers in antifa every day, and local law enforcement directed by liberal mayors give antifa license to practice their Free Speech Vigilantism.

That a rioter should attack a citizen is not an enormous concern. Such things happen. Murders happen. That is not a sign of any kind of a falling society, but only of a fallen mankind, which we've known about forever.

But when major institutions like the media and mayor's offices become the mob mouthpieces and private security firms for remorseless terroristic criminals -- then that is a sign of a society on the verge of collapse.

A crime committed by a miscreant is a sin. But a crime committed by a miscreant with PR cover provided by the "mainstream" media, and the winking tolerance of the government itself, is an unbearable threat of approaching tyranny.

26 As someone who, more than once, has been suddenly fingered by an Antifa mob and surrounded and threatened, I can testify that it is indeed an extremely terrifying experience. They understand the power of the mob, the power of outnumbering victims. You feel completely bereft of safety, as they're coming at you from all sides are and utterly terrifyingly irrational.

In case I "escaped" each time only because their attention was drawn to more tempting targets. But in each case I was too shaken to blog about it, not wanting to get back on their radar.

35 If we are talking the CNN #FakeNews defense of government spying on Manafort (and Trump probably), then I repeat this:

384 If #FakeNews has it, you can be sure it was a defensive leak from some culpable party trying to get ahead of the news cycle, and you can be equally sure whatever defenses the article promotes for these crimes is total bullshit (like "we had a FISA warrant!" That's BS- show us!).

It hasn't yet come out whether or not others in the campaign were under United States government surveillance during the campaign. But would anyone be shocked (or even mildly surprised)?????

46 It certainly is tryranny Ace. Police that wont protect the peaceful demonstrators, wait no they actually want violence against them. A government that wont support police that actually want to do their job but instead brainwashed them with diversity training so they will not address criminality when they see it. Etc. etc. Its not certainly not equal justice for all. Its social justice. Justice is no longer blind it sees color and doles out punishment accordingly.

57 It's kind of like psychological conditioning, which could be seen as a type of brainwashing.

MSM says white nationalists are bad. Turn them into Emmanuel Goldstein. They are Literally Hitler.

In the meantime, BLM/Antifa/Dems are committing real violence. But yet the MSM does not say anything about it, and acts as if it's justified and normal and really understandable.

Basically, the MSM and parts of the government are the people who say "It's totally normal for a husband to beat his wife and put her in the hospital."

If those who are getting beaten keep hearing "it's normal" at every turn, they will just accept that it's normal and give up.

Conversely, I think the MSM wants us to accept that violence against conservatives is normal, and that we should just give up and endure the literal as well as metaphorical beatings.

Which is quite the feat, considering Hillary not only got the debate questions for the primaries (ahem, and general election debates Im sure) ahead of time, but also had access to the entire Trump campaign strategy since her political ally obama was wiretapping Manaford.

Who, lets recall, worked in Trump Tower.

Now, wasn't there outrage (OUTRAGE!) at trump when he suggested that Trump Tower was wiretapped a few months ago?

Maybe Trump wasn't as idiotic and bumbling and fake newsy as the media thought.

115 Quoting the Bloomberg article :
Much of the debate over antifa has focused on whether the white supremacists on the other side are worse. It seems to be impossible, in fact, to write a column on antifa without noting, at length, that they are not nearly as bad as the neo-Nazis who converged on Charlottesville. And indeed, they are not.


This is flat out wrong. The neo nazis haven't be violent since the sixties, at least. Antifa-black block has been continuously violent since at least the '80's. Certainly since the Battle for Seattle (1999). Possibly since the sixties and the weather underground. Probably the same people; people like Bill Ayers.

140 There was recently this interview with Mark Lilla where he said,

" I want to get this across: we cannot do anything for these groups we care about if we do not hold power. It is just talk. Therefore, our rhetoric in campaigning must be focussed on winning, so then we can help these people. An election is not about self-expression. It's not a time to display everything we believe about everything. It's a contest. And once you hold power, then you can do the things you want to do. "

This is endorsing lying to the voters to get power which you then use as you wish not as those who voted for you thought you would. This power by deception is breaking down on the left. It still works a bit for Republicans.

Antifa, BLM, and others on the Left have decided that that old lying to the voters to gain power is too slow and uncertain for them. They are BAMN. They "want the world and they want it now."

153 It was Western Civilization that initially embraced reason, which led to science, and enabled the West to leap ahead of other civilizations.

Embrace of reason = White Supremacism

It was white colonists in America, steeped in the traditions of English Common Law, who enunciated the principles of individual liberty and limited government.

Support for the Constitution = White Supremacism

It was white Europeans like Adam Smith and Frederic Bastiat who developed the principles of free-market capitalism, which became the most powerful engine of wealth creation in human history.

Support for capitalism = White Supremacism

Of course people of any race or culture who embrace those principles can become free and prosperous, but they have to acknowledge that those principles did not arise from any other culture.

This reminds me of an incident I had in 6th grade.

My father was an avid hunter when he was younger, so we had no shortage of venison.

So I overheard my teacher mentioning how she would never eat deer, because they're too cute.

I fed her the lunch my father had packed for me that day.

She fell in love with it.

I immediately told her that it was the deer she just said she'd never eat.

They understand the power of the mob, the power of outnumbering victims. You feel completely bereft of safety, as they're coming at you from all sides are and utterly terrifyingly irrational.

In case I "escaped" each time only because their attention was drawn to more tempting targets. But in each case I was too shaken to blog about it, not wanting to get back on their radar.

This is flat out wrong. The neo nazis haven't be violent since the sixties, at least. Antifa-black block has been continuously violent since at least the '80's. Certainly since the Battle for Seattle (1999). Possibly since the sixties and the weather underground. Probably the same people; people like Bill Ayers.


It's interesting to note a couple of things about this. First, the dude who organized the Unite the Right folks in C'ville was a former Bronco Bama sycophant, so he's a well-known leftard. Second, anyone who's read Little Billy Ayers' books knows that he wanted to base his revolution on alleged racism.

This manufactured issue has his foul stench all over it.

The MFM is testing to see just how much power they have over the rest of us and what they can get us to think, as Mika so aptly put it. Their methods are know known as demonstrated by their psychotic break with reality concerning Trump: they loved him for years, and even gave him his own TV show. Then they want us to believe that overnight B. L. Z. Bubb jumped into that poor man's body and now he's suddenly the embodiment of evil itsownself? Give me a fucking break.

183 The truly jaw-dropping moment to me was when like a single, unified entity, every single journalist on twitter bombed the place with D-Day comparisons to Antifa. Every one. They all compared those mask wearing violent pieces of trash with the D-Day invasion, like Band of Brothers and some radical with 18 piercings and a bike lock in a sock are the same.

That was the day they self-identified with black bloc. That was when they stood up to be counted with the guys that snipe cops and beat old ladies. That was the very moment when they said "these are our people" about looters and arsonists who tear cities apart to silence speech they don't want to hear.

184 I think it's safe to say that Donald Trump has not been normalized by anyone. The media treats him with deep contempt -- mostly earned, I'd argue, but still not the normal way you expect to see a president portrayed. Foreign leaders sure don't seem to think he is normal, and nor do the bureaucracy or the courts. And partisans on both sides are behaving distinctly abnormally. They do not see themselves as arguing over policy or even values, but as engaged in an existential battle between good and evil, with President Trump as the avatar for one side or another.

++++

That's McArdle and that should tell you all you need to know about where she is coming from.

What, Trump tweets rudely, so all this other stuff is a result of that? No. The Left has refused to accept their loss of the election, and as a result has been continually been escalating their resistance to the outcome. Antifa is the logical result of the Left's rhetoric that Trump must be resisted by all means.

222 Small suggested corrections, ace. "White supremacists" aren't despised by 99% of the population - since they are such a tiny, invisible element, whose agenda (do they have an agenda?) is of course completely unknown to anyone, there is a "Peter Lorre" effect: if anyone thought about them, they'd despise them.

Related, "next-to-zero" should be "zero" institutional support. That I'm aware of. Always wanting to go to bed smarter each day, so wide open to being edumucated to what the "white supremacist" agenda is, and to any - any - examples of that agenda being even considered in the public square, or politics, or any examples of institutional support.

This is not quibbling. It's central. "White supremacy" as any sort of social or political force or reality is the very definition of Mencken's "imaginary hobgoblins", used to manipulate the citizenry. That Mencken guy is sort of a thing around here, right?

Meanwhile - whatever you want to call it, but it must contain the term "racism" - of all the other varieties is not just a social and political force, it doesn't have just institutional support, it's corrupted/weakened our core institutions (affirmative action, enforced non-integrity in elections, de facto quotas, on and on and on).

253 But ace your main point is obviously correct, and chilling, and infuriating.

The "heckler's veto" has transformed into the systematic, official abandonment of basic American civic principles - by elected government.

Maybe if people thought about that point a little bit more, they'd understand how some don't view the country, or the nominal "Americans" all around them, the same way any longer. America is a mindset and set of values and a way of doing things - uniquely the best in human history - not lines on a map (OK, bad example given border lawlessness, but you get the point).

And not to provoke the de rigeur snoozing Beauregard jokesters, but whereTF are some civil rights actions against universities and city governments?

I get that Teh Donald is not a government or policy guy by passion or background, but I'd think he and those around him would have had their hair on fire about this for some time, and certainly since the Chicago incident in the campaign (where even Cruz gave reason to think that the current actual commitment to core principles in the US, any more, is micron-thick).

I worry less about the Austrian thing- although it is fun to mock him because he was billed as being the modern day equivalent of Cicero, Plato and Socrates- all rolled into one!!!

The thing that annoys me is that he was not even a decent speaker. He was dull, droning, condescending, stiff and wooden. He ticks pretty much all of the boxes they tell you not to when you public speak.

260 I don't know how we win this. It has been so successfully engineered to tie the "alt right" and neo Nazis as a natural extension of the actual right wing and make Trump a part of this alt right and craft antifa as the natural enemy of the alt right so that if you are not on the side of antifa, you side with trump and the neo Nazis. It is forcing weasely politicians like McCain, Romney, and Ryan to scoot left and speak out in support of antifa either because they are too weak minded to know neo Nazis are not on the right, or they don't know how to explain the difference to their voters. Either way, antifa is going to exist with republican support, and republicans are going to shift left to distance themselves from the "alt right".

They've elected to believe, or act like they believe, the most ridiculous things, as long as those things are part of the Beltway Idiot Consensus (which is not strictly geographical).

As I've noted ad nauseam, there is no "white supremacist" "movement" of any size, or any consequence, in the US. Any more than there is a "monarchist" movement. Or any meaningful swath of the populace that really believes all things are being controlled by lizard-like space aliens.

There's a crudely racist "movement" called BLM that has a body count in the double digits (including planned mass ambushes of police) - oh, BTW that "movement" had multiple WH meetings in the prior administration, and was pandered to in the most degrading fashion (even for race-baiting, stupid Democrat politicians) in the last campaign.

And of course not just universities, but cities and states would cave instantaneously to any serious conditioning of funds, on this or any other issue.

And if a court attempted to interfere with *that*, then we would have an even more extravagant situation of both a president and a Congress not fulfilling their oaths (if they comply with a lawless judiciary).

And Disneyland - 87% too crowded, 300% too expensive. Which is enough to brush it from the list. The idea of putting $$$ into some of the worst authoritarian, un-American hands would simply be icing on the cake, if it were even a question.

And if you were in a car surrounded by a mob banging on your bumper, mightn't you panic and try to accelerate out of there before having your windows broken and dragged out by a mob?
I don't know the facts about the Charlottesville Dodge beyond what I've seen in video, but that sounds like a distinct possibility.
So, you may have a Nazi sympathizer driving that car, maybe even one who wanted a dustup with the violent mob on the other side. But premeditated murder of the Angelic Anti Fa by a Fa? I'm not at all convinced despite the need of everyone to rush to that judgment, or appear to rush to that judgment , to avoid being lumped in as pro-Fa.

Water is a right, and anyone who is ambitious can make a rain barrel, as well as go to the local creek or body of water and harvest some. For free. If it is legal in your city.

However, chemically treated water that is part of a municipal water/ sewage system is totally different. Modern sewage is not a universal human right, and consequently, something that one must pay for.

Also, humans do not need "modern sewage" to live. Just "water," which, in many cases, can be harvested locally.

AG Rosenstein).

I find the stories of Trump berating Sessions over this believable. Sessions has a while - growing shorter - to show he actually is fit for the job. That will require an absolute s**t-ton of stuff to start happening/become public, on many fronts: effectively suppressing the immigration lawlessness insurrection by states and cities, pursuing civil rights actions as discussed above in response to the de facto suspension of the constitution in authoritarian-racist jurisdictions, etc.

But Rosenstein remains. Like virtually all of the golden boys in recent years, "widely" respected blah blah blah, he appears to be completely unfit. That one decision removes any case for his appointment or continued employment.

This meat is full of horny-deer juice. yuck. just make sausage and jerkey already. Eat the backstrap and loins if you want to.

Posted by: tu3031 at September 18, 2017 07:50 PM (O5Q3r)
---

From a friend:

This is Fred Koster, the Director of Ride the Thunder. Below is an extremely important and urgent update. The "final battle" in how the Vietnam War will be remembered in history, will happen late this year when Ken Burns releases his 18 hour Vietnam War documentary (which has been endorsed by John Kerry) and Steven Spielberg HUGE new movie release on the Pentagon Papers starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. Now is the time to take action against these films, there are "no" tomorrows if we don't challenge them now.

Below are some important points about the Burns show preview.

No mention of communism, the left always did their best to convince the American people that we were fighting the Vietnamese not that we were fighting with the Vietnamese against communism.

No mention of the Soviet Union or Chinese involvement.

No mention of any type of victory or heroics of the Americans or South Vietnamese.

No mention of the South Vietnamese people (they do not want to recognize South Vietnam).

No mention of the communist atrocities.

No mention of the 250,000 boat people who died in the ocean trying escape.

No mention of the millions of refugees.

No mention of our ally- the Hmong people.

The continued propaganda that we were fighting the Vietnamese not communism.

How incredible and wonderful Vietnam is now under communism. It looks like an advertisement.

Emphasis on the struggle of the North Vietnamese and how brave they were.

The show opens with an USA air bombardment of the North then the misleading statement that the war was fought both in the north and the south.

An incredible horrible scene of a Viet Cong soldier describing how our soldiers were weeping about their killed companions.

One of the main music composers of the film is Chinese.

A good portion of this preview is about the music yet they have no time to show the South Vietnamese or the valor of our troops.

389 Eric Greitens - Governor of Missouri


We've been clear:
Don't throw bricks at police.
Don't throw rocks through windows.
If you're with criminals and vandals and the police ask you to leave repeatedly, then do so.
Pretty simple. Some people still refuse to listen.
Last night, over 120 arrests were made. St. Louis and the state of Missouri are proud of our law enforcement officers. They're keeping us safe.


I'm kinda likin' my new gov. Sure as hell beats the old gov.

395 373 An authentic Fleming/Bond martini is equal parts gin, vodka and vermouth. (The "vodka martini, shaken not stirred" in the movies started as a product-placement ad campaign paid for by Smirnoff.) I don't know what you're planning for your basket, but I bet it'll be great.
Posted by: FireHorse at September 18, 2017 09:06 PM (zkGZ


As far as I can remember, from reading all the Fleming Bond books, there is only one drink recipe in there, in Casino Royale, and it's for the drink later called a "Vesper," which is only sort of a martini:

"Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel"

I had one once, and it was pretty awesome, but I would not call it a martini. The Kina Lillet, which is, roughly, a quinine liqueur, changes the character considerably.

400 If military personnel cannot follow illegal orders, neither can the police. We need to stop making excuses for the cops. At some either they use the power that they so deeply crave to protect and defend property or they turn in the badges they get to hide behind.
If any cops decide to just say "screw you, mayor, I have a job to do and I owe it to the people", this will be respected and appreciated by the people. If the cops want to stand around and watch the approved miscrants burn things down...well, they better not whine about why nobody likes them.

403 Observation on the Thorina pic on the previous thread.

This is what the bad guy gets for saying "feminist" in a not properly respectful manner?

The thing is that they would hold cops--people normally fighting bad guys--to standards of proper escalation of force.

So what is a God-punch? Wouldn't that be kind of like a cop shooting somebody for insulting his mother?

I understand your sensitivity, but frankly think that it's an over-reaction. The divide will not be so much on racial grounds but political and/or antisocial. Blacks at home in St. Louis the last few nights ... no problem. Blacks out in the street in the small hours in St. Louis the last few nights ... troublemakers.

I hope we can agree on that.

437 Both Sexton and McArdle understate the case. I've gotten sick of the way they denounce "false equivalence". I hate to point it out, but if you really want to play that game, fascism wins, in a walk. The usual pattern is:

Lenin? What about Hitler?
Stalin? What about Hitler?
Mao? What about Hitler.

Do we see a pattern here? No one ever answers "What about Mussolini" because they can't, not without discrediting themselves so completely even most lefties see it. Benito was a conventional thug bastard, of a common sort. But compared to the above names, he was minor league. Or "JV" if you prefer.
