| Why You Shouldn't Underestimate ANTIFA |
| 2020-08-02 |
| [VictoryGirls] If you live in the American heartland, you might have watched the urban carnage over the last few months and shrugged your shoulders or shook your head. After all, ANTIFA running amok in the cities is most definitely a Democrat-created problem. They bore that child and fed him candy, and now they can deal with the fallout. There’s a reason why people choose to live in the heartland and not the city anyway. Not my circus, not my monkeys. There’s just one problem. ANTIFA, whether anyone knows or wants to admit it, is already in the heartland — even in areas thought of as bastions of freedom — and they’re organizing and training. MYTH: ANTIFA is made up of effeminate "soy boys." One of the most pervasive things going around about ANTIFA are that they are not even remotely a threat. They’re all so busy looking for their next vegan meal, putting beads in their sparse beards, or eating Pop-Tarts in their mom’s basement that they cannot possibly be a threat to real American manly men — or at least that’s how they’re portrayed. Stories like the one below serve to help that narrative, and it’s one that ANTIFA doesn’t mind going around. Being underestimated is an excellent force multiplier. |

| #12 We are not afraid of them, soy boys or other. We are angry, and the thought we will take action against them should sow fear in them. America is not a video game, there will be no reset, and when we have had enough it will be violent, bloody, and over. |

| #11 They are only a threat in places where they are aided and abetted by local governments. Without that backing, they really don't last more than a few minutes. |

| #8 #6 The real danger lies in the synergy between official government action and deniable and nominally irregular enforcers of the will of the government, in this case antifa. This. Simply dismissing them is like being a German circa 1930 saying "That loud fellow with the funny mustache can't possibly be a real threat." |

| #7 The Soy Boys are just cannon fodder. To be used as a buffer and discarded (likely killed) afterwards. The indocturnation center (Education system) spews them out in such numbers that they are expendable. Stalin called the 'Useful Idiots'. |

| #6 The real danger lies in the synergy between official government action and deniable and nominally irregular enforcers of the will of the government, in this case antifa. CHAZ was a real and effective, literally murderous attack on fundamental human & civil rights within the nominal jurisdiction of the US constitution. |

| #4 Antifa is just the troublemakers of the day. The real problem is underestimating the level of corruption in elected officials and bureaucrats to allow these malcontents to operate as lawbreakers. |

| #3 SCFI, this is a sore point for me. Yes the whole don't ascribe to intent what can be explained by stupidity is good for a few chuckles, BUT, these are not stupid folks they are wicked, mean, nasty and evil folks. Let's not try and laugh off the person holding a gun on you cause he's funny looking and babbles. |

| #2 Good Lord -- "the right is behind on these tactics"! Another idiot who views the use of violence as a dial, not a switch. |

| #1 You're right, we should not underestimate their capacity for stupidity! |
