Antifa: Much more dangerous than the 70's.

Sunday, October 05, 2025

The United States is experiencing a level of left-wing political violence not seen since the early 1970s, with one key and chilling difference: Today, a radicalized violent extremist can be anywhere. In the past year or so, we have seen the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, two near misses for President Trump, the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York, the church shooting in Minnesota in which a transgender assailant allegedly killed two children, and, this week, the killing of two detainees at a Dallas U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

You know that this is nonsense.

Deal with your anger.

This stuff is lifted nearly word-for-word from Stephen Miller.

Mr. Miller wants to see your papers, BOAZ.

Make sure you have them, and make sure they're in order.

And expect ICE to say tht their fakes anyway.

"And expect ICE to say they're they're fakes, anyway".

I hope that you never have the experience of an ICE agent making you repeat how you say "San Antonio".

Happened to me.

"The United States is experiencing a level of left-wing political violence not seen since the early 1970s"

No we aren't.

What's this guy smoking?

"the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, two near misses for President Trump, the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York"

None of that is left wing political violence.

Upwards of 80 percent of fatalities due to domestic terrorism are committed by rwing white nationalists and white supremacists over the last few decades.

Fact... look it up, Major B.

There's the guy in New Jersey who ran over the girl he was stalking and her sister, killing both. His stated motive was revenge for them being glad Charlie Kirk isn't around to spared hate any more.

The media has already positioned that as a "troubled youth" and scrubbed the Revenge For Charlie connection details from their description of his 22-minute post-murder live stream.

idk .. In one 18-month period in the early 1970s, there were 2,500 domestic bombings in American.

#8 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-10-05 12:21 PM

"Statistics from both government and independent analyses show that right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities from domestic terrorism over the past few decades.

This includes violence committed by white nationalists and white supremacists.
Analyses indicate that right-wing extremists caused approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths between 2001 and 2021."

Yes. But did you know the bombings we're NOT intended to kill Americans.

And less people died than during that 18 month period of bombings due to those bombs than were killed or injured in last weekends mass shootings in America's "War Ravaged Cities" with guns?

And in 2,500 domestic bombings, they killed a fraction of the people Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and their still unidentified third co-conspirator killed with just one domestic bombing.

It's almost like those bombers in the 1970s weren't trying to inflict mass casualties.

Antifa was at its most dangerous in the 1940s.

When Americans flew to Europe to kill Nazis.

Now, the Republican Party is full of Nazis.

Problem is we are living in the Post-Factual Trump World of Lies.

Trumpers care not for facts.

Having observed and participated in the Sixties and Seventies, I can report that the current situation vis a vis government repression and threats of repression is MUCH worse.

I've noticed how some informed folk like Boaz seem to think the era was dominated by this incredible onslaught of leftwing violence. Some? Yes. But the goals of most of the activists I knew was to effect change through traditional avenues of exerting political pressure. (Most people's fantasies of getting the revolution going with a blast were derailed by an inability to provide a satisfactory answer to a simple question: What are you going to do, exactly, when a 50-ton tank starts rumbling down the street, the big gun on its swiveling turret turning slowly in your direction? Then, for the wilder of eye, this one could usually be counted to at least slow things down: Okay, in theory, you're thinking of such and and such deeply illegal sheet. Why are you telling me? Have you talked to anyone else? Your operation is already blown, your revolution over.)

No, now is much, much worse.

Funny how he completely ignored the MN politicians that got gunned in their homes by MAGA.

Another, consider the source.

Nope. It's completely made up by Salon. Nobody else is reporting this.

White supremacists behind over 80% of extremism-related U.S. murders in 2022
www.reuters.com

Two mass shootings - one in May in Buffalo, New York, wherein an avowed white supremacist fatally shot 10 Black people, opens new tab, and another in November in Colorado Springs wherein five people were killed, opens new tab in an LGBTQ nightclub - accounted for most of the extremist-related murders of 2022, the ADL report showed.

Funny how those liberal sources never count the liberal ones. Or even mention them.

#20 | Posted by boaz at 2025-10-05 06:54 PM

"Funny how those liberal sources never count the liberal ones."

Boaz just called the ADL a "liberal source"
ADL said Elon Musk's Nazi Salute wasn't a Nazi Salute.
ADL isn't liberal in the slightest.

Almost but not quite.

Just another rationalization for death and destruction.

The OKC bombing was transitory.

Clearly that it was ANTIFA that set fire to the judges house in SC after she ruled against Sh*tler and was the one who mowed down two high school girls at 70mph because they mocked Charlie Kirk.

#24 | Posted by Nixon at 2025-10-06 11:07 AM

Know who was "anti-fascist?"

Eisenhower, Patton, FDR, all the world except for Germany, Japan, and Italy during WWII.

WWII was all about fighting fascism.

BOAZ is pro-fascist. And a traitor to the oath he sneeringly took, but only because he had to.

#25 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY at 2025-10-06 11:21 AM

So 2500 pipe bombs in the 70s wasn't dangerous, compared to people setting of fireworks and lighting trash barrels on fire.

Got it.

#22 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

No one is "rationalizing" anything. It's just what happened.

Try reading our history you farging icehole.

In the 70s they purposely bombed buildings at night and when they were empty.

They targeted property rather than people to gain media attention and influence public opinion. And occasionally they screwed up due to low technical skills and there were some unintended deaths.

This contrasts with later extremist groups and mass shooters (the majority of whom now are rightwing fanatics and zealots) who seek to inflict maximum casualties.

Like Timothy McVey who bombed a federal building in Oklahoma while the day care center was full of children.

#27 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-10-06 02:02 PM

I read the headline in comments and instantly knew it was Boaz.
LMAO!

So, I guess I'm hearing that right-wing terrorism, which has DOMINATED us for years, has subsided a bit with the election of Donald "I am your retribution" Trump? Is that what's going on?

All the time the retribution campaign against everyone else is being ramped up.

I think Boaz and his ilk are itching for a Civil War and ICE is one means they're using to make it happen.

Knew this was posted from the lily White Russian racist redneck known as comrade Boazo. You could smell the desperation and panic just by the title.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

#30 | Posted by Nixon at 2025-10-07 08:11 AM

Antifa= "anti-fascist."

So were President Dwight D Eisenhower, Gen. George Patton, and all the citizens of the world except for those in Germany, Italy, and Japan.

America put everything into defeating fascism.

BOAZ, who swore an oath to defend the Constitution (so he could reap his bennies, only) wants to bring back fascism.
