#1
By now, most people see ANTI-FA is NOT a US homegrown grassroots radical Antifascist political movement started against Trump. But a Movement started by deep pockets to achieve or maintain certain political wants, goals and/or to maintain a Status Quo.

#4 It is my understanding that Antifa started in Germany in the 1930s battling the Nazi Brownshirts in the streets. It dates back to Antifaschistische Aktion, set up by the Stalinist Communist Party of Germany (KPD).

#5 I'm not that familiar with French politics; but from what I know, it seems a stretch to lable Macron a Fascist. Or are they just rioting for the sake of rioting?

#6 Macron is the status quo. He's a globalist. How is antifa rioting against him? Why would they attack their own side?

Today's antifa has no connection to the 1930s one. They like to pretend they do, though because it makes them sound cool.

#8 Same reason cities have riots when their sportsball team wins the mega cup.

Besides, keeps the honest protesters off the street.

#9 Sometimes you need to demonstrate that you are a force to be reckoned with, and must be heard. If you are a source of violence, hence always newsworthy, you get a disproportionate level of influence. That your rank-and-file are just hired mutts and crazies means nothing, and their arrest or loss is unimportant, there are always more. What is important is the limousines parked in the alley behind the organizational headquarters planning the next event, and whose agents ride in them. Until they are arrested for conspiracy, and roll over on the actual puppet masters and the source of their "Dark Money", its all mystery to the uninformed across the world.

#12 They like to pretend they do, though because it makes them sound cool.

Not as cool as a .45.

#13 When they had the WTO riots in Seattle the same players were just called anarchists then. Now they've found a name they can use to fool the rubes, just like BLM, and the Democratic Socialist Republics.

#14 Your agony aunt, Minnie Love,
Is here, friends, when push comes to shove
In affairs of the hole,
Helping Party or prole,
And her answer is, always, "More, guv!"
