4Chan with another brilliant trolling social commentary

Biggest lickspittle on boardz

Far-right activists are using fake Twitter accounts and images of battered women to smear anti-fascist groups in the US, an online investigation has revealed.
The online campaign is using fake Antifa (an umbrella term for anti-fascist protestors) Twitter accounts to claim anti-fascists promote physically abusing women who support US President Donald Trump or white supremacy.

You know the narrative by now. Violence against women is terrible! But at the same time, punch a Nazi!

Now 4Chan has combined the two into a brilliant social commentary, by hijacking anti-domestic violence images to highlight the absurdity of supporting violence for political reasons. Naturally, the BBC are foaming at the mouth.

Either you support violence, and everything that goes with it. Including attacking women.
Or you abhor it, and completely disavow it.

There are no 'special exceptions'.

So what is it, boardsies? Do we reject violence, or is it ok to turn the odd blind eye as long as the Nazi label is loosely thrown around first?

I abhor all types of violence, except punching Nazis. That's where the line is for me.

Can we reject 4chan ?

Nothing wrong and indeed everything right with punching Nazis - of whatever sex. They're Nazis.

Not in favour of any violence unless it's in self defence or sometimes to teach an extremely violent person a lesson (e.g. someone terrorising their neighbourhood) and I really dislike this "Punch a nazi" thing for their beliefs alone. Talk about giving them ammunition. It is only going to make them more entrenched in their views, and could help them to recruit. It's quite dangerous really when considering the bigger picture.

"4Chan"

"Brilliant trolling social commentary"

"Hijacking anti-domestic violence images"

Yeah........that's a hard pass.

Say something about "SJWs", "cultural marxism", "feminazis" and "virtue signalling" though. That's always good for a laugh.

Punch that 4chan chap- that will tell em.

Social commentary? I wonder where 4chan stands on misogyny and domestic violence?

Creating Nazis? They haven't turned me into a Nazi, have they turned you into a Nazi?
I think if you're a Nazi because of antifa, you were probably a Nazi anyway and are just looking for an excuse.

Except the definition of Nazi seems to be anyone who disagrees with Antifa, or simply gets in the way. Here is a video of a peacemaker getting his skull smashed with a bike lock by an Antifa member. The mob has an us versus them mentality. And innocents or neutrals are considered targets too.

It's somewhat ironic that the best publicity the neo-Nazis and far-right get is from Antifa activists. I recall that when Identity Ireland were announcing their formation, some Antifa activists stormed the meeting and created a big scene that was irresistible click bait for the national media.

Identity Ireland couldn't believe their good luck. What would have been a mediocre non-event that would have passed as a few balding losers in a hotel conference room now became front page news and a priceless PR boost.

Nice going, comrades.

Wait, I'm confused about the movie. So the cops knew that internal affairs were setting them up.

I seem to remember violence being pretty effective against Nazis.

Grand, but since the likes of Antifa define 'Nazi' as pretty much everybody that disagrees with them that's a whole lot of people to punch...

Haha good one. Where would you fellas be without your little memes to keep you occupied?

At least it keeps you off the streets and out of harms way.

Is dog poo an acceptable alternative?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/24/san-francisco-dog-poo-protest-patriot-prayer-rally

When a group of far-right activists come to San Francisco to hold a rally this Saturday, they will be met by peace activists offering them flowers to wear in their hair.

Also, dog ****. Lots and lots of dog ****.

Hundreds of San Franciscans plan to prepare Crissy Field, the picturesque beach in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge where rightwing protest group Patriot Prayer will gather, with a generous carpeting of excrement.


“I just had this image of alt-right people stomping around in the poop,” Tuffy Tuffington said of the epiphany he had while walking Bob and Chuck, his two Patterdale terriers, and trying to think of the best way to respond to rightwing extremists in the wake of Charlottesville. “It seemed like a little bit of civil disobedience where we didn’t have to engage with them face to face.”

Tuffington, a 45-year-old artist and designer, created a Facebook event page based on the concept, and the dog owners of San Francisco responded in droves. Many have declared their intention to stockpile their ****piles for days in advance, then deliver them in bags for the site.

Maybe.

A more pertinent example for the US left/hard-left in how opposition can strengthen your opponents is the Reichstag fire, the ability to portray your opponents as dangerous and wanting to destroy the state is a blessing if you are looking to bring in authoritarian measures and delegitimize your opponents.

Violence to achieve political goals is a moral question, using violence in a way that ineffective to your goals is worse than amoral its stupid.

This reminds me, we haven't heard much from 'Pegida Ireland' since they got chased into a 2 Euro Store on North Earl Street last year.

It won't be fun and games if "Punch a socialist" becomes popular.

No, making a park unusable and potentially closing a beach is a dumb idea.
