    This is exactly my point. KiA is anti-SJW in a reasonable manner, but they got drowned out during GamerGate by the assholes who were sending death and rape threats by DM on Twitter. They needed to publicly denounce those people as quickly as possible at the start - without doing so, they doomed themselves to the same guilt by association that feminists experience because of SJWs.

    I don't see the comparison , its the nature of the web and in particular for an "anti" position to not have any control over who tags along. Im sure anyone that was reasonable would say if someone sends a death threat that's a criminal offense and the police should investigate it. what more do you expect people to do? Unless you can prove KiA organised mass sending of death threats there is no reason for them to be smeared

    I'm perfectly aware of the clip you are referring to already. George Soros was still not a Nazi or a collaborator as you claim.
    Soros was 13 years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary.[29] Jewish children were barred from attending school by the Nazis, and Soros and the other schoolchildren were made to report to the Judenrat ("Jewish Council") which had been established during the occupation. Soros later described this time to writer Michael Lewis: "The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices. I was told to go to the Jewish Council. And there I was given these small slips of paper.... I took this piece of paper to my father. He instantly recognized it. This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers. He said, "You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported."

    Soros did not return to that job; his family purchased documents to say that they were Christians, thereby allowing them to survive the war. Later that year at age 14, Soros posed as the Christian godson of an official of the fascist Hungarian government's Ministry of Agriculture, who himself had a Jewish wife in hiding. On one occasion, rather than leave the 14 year old alone, the official took with him while he inventoried a rich Jewish family's estate, though Soros did not take part. Tivadar not only saved his immediate family but also many other Hungarian Jews, and George would later write that 1944 had been "the happiest [year] of his life," for it had given him the opportunity to witness his father's heroism.

    It's terrible that you're so uninformed that you either chose not to do any further fact check. While the above is quoted from wikipedia, you can cross check their sources. It's entirely accurate. None of the above makes him a war criminal or a collaborator. In fact, some of what he did would be classified as actively resisting eg warning the Jewish lawyers.

    The obsession with George Soros and claiming he was a nazi of all things is so incredibly offensive given the fact he is a Jewish survivor of WW2. It's always completely insane sources that literally pick up on a single line from him on 60 minutes and misrepresent his entire background with it. Those who believe it seem to be incapable of research or just want it to be true. Either way, you're most definitely wrong.

    I'm not smearing KiA, I'm a massive fan. I'm smearing the word "GamerGate" specifically, and I'm not even personally smearing it, I'm merely reiterating what everyone already knows - a group of extremist assholes poisoned the well and have ensured that the word itself will never, ever be taken seriously. The sooner cultural libertarians drop it in favour of something new, the better. Besides, IMO it's not entirely relevant anymore - the culture wars may have kicked into a high gear initially around video games, but they are now seeping into every aspect of culture, such that the 'GamerGate' label is, in my view, too restrictive. This is a conversation which needs to be far wider and broader - it's no longer about trying to counter the SJW influence in video games, because the SJW influence has grown to encompass everything from TV to music. KiA reflects this - it doesn't just talk about games anymore, but about every aspect of culture where SJWs are currently attempting to impose limits on artistic freedom by implementing new 'rules' based on political correctness. Cultural appropriation is a pretty good example - obviously this ideology needs to be fought, and fought hard, by those of us who value artistic freedom but as a musician I can tell you that video games are the tip of the iceberg as far as the poisonous SJW influence goes. Let me put it this way - if Eminem was starting today, he'd be harassed into retirement before ever making it big by people who regard hip hop as "wrong" for a white guy to be involved in.

    A neo-Nazi going mainstream????
    Can you show a poll that shows any kind of significant support for Nazi ideology in the USA?

    There seems to be a seriously misplaced belief amongst some, that if the far-right are not physically attacked then we could see the re-emergence of the Third Reich.
    I've even seen the word inexorable being used.
    Like the average family sitting at home watching Eastenders, is a short propoganda peace away from supporting rounding up the Jews.

    Richard Spencers event in a Washington DC hotel on inauguration day. Interviews with mainstream media. Milo doing the same up until his pedo comments. Steve Bannons role in the whitehouse. Sebastian Gorka. A lot of white supremacist ideology reaching high places cannot be allowed to become normal or acceptable.

    I don't think Milo is a neo nazi but it irks me when this is used as a defence against against racism. Of course you can be a racist and bang someone of another race. It's like a guy saying "I'm not sexist cos I've banged loads of women".

    While we're at it, would you care to admit that your Soros claim was pure rubbish? You asked, I answered in detail.... Unless you're so predisposed to such a ridiculous view that you refuse to accept you're wrong...

    Let's just remember you're misrepresenting a Jewish survivor of Nazism. Your definition of 'collaborator' is completely inaccurate. Another piece that addresses your long rubbished claims. Hopefully you'll retract your previous statement.

    What you quote from wikipedia says he only went out once when in the interview he went out many times taking property off fellow jews,friends & neighbours & had no remorse for it.

    I take your point but it seems like a more pithy response to an obviously outrageous claim than say 'Actually Milo has not set forth the kind of views you ascribe to him'.

    I'm afraid you are slightly mistaken in your use of gay-slang. To 'bottom' a guy means to be the submissive partner in a sexual encounter. Now we both know Milo is the submissive in his encounters, the technically correct term is to say he 'bottoms' a guy or conversely that another gentleman 'tops' him.

    Anyway's back to the discussion of Antifa...

    Many people have issues with the state of Israel and how they operate. He contributed to The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel,, Women against Violence, Arab Association for Human Rights, National Committee of Heads of Arab Local Authorities in Israel,. There's nothing particularly any of the groups they mentioned to the best of my knowledge. So throwing out links makes you no less intelligible.

    He would have been aged 14, pretending not to be Jewish. He was not the only Jewish person in that situation and none would have been classified as collaborators by any historian or semi decent person. Your utterly terrible grasp of the situation that these people were in just displays an inability to empathise with his situation. It seems like you have a thing against Soros but when your shown up as wrong, you double down.

    By the way, can you find a reputable historian or anyone credible that would actually agree with your claim? The Anti Defamation League for example have condemned claims like yours. They literally combat things like anti semitism...

    Yeah, this puts a completely different spin on things.  If she is legitimately trying to hit people with a bottle then I have no issue with someone punching her out.

    I'm not comfortable with the idea that because someone is "anti-fascist" then any bad behavior they might be participating in becomes acceptable.

    Let's be honest here, the vast majority of us do not agree with, and do not promote, fascism at all.

    You don't get a cookie for being "anti-fascist".  Most right minded people are against fascism.

    So proclaiming yourself "anti-fascist" is not a license to run around acting like an idiot.

    A few posters on here seem awful upset that their beloved antifa crowd took a beating from a bunch of neo-nazis and then ran away with their tails between their legs.  What did they expect though?


    I don't think it puts a huge difference on things. She wasn't holding a bottle or anything when your man ran in from the side and clocked her.
    There are a lot of people in the crowd with helmets and motorbike gear/armour .....If I had to choose, and I had the choice between wearing a motorbike helmet or being armed with a bottle for any type of fight/scuffle, I'd take the helmet any day
    Regardless, she was unarmed at the time he ran in from the side and stuck her.

    Why the obsession with Israel one way or the other? It's not a western state.

    Except as to how it affects non-US citizens I don't really care about internal American politics that much, the monkey may change but the organ grinder doesn't (certainly not in terms of foreign policy) but it would be nice if an anti fascist group in the US protested imperialism and not free speech.

    She is holding a bottle by the neck in the photo's though or am I missing something?
    Getting ready to hit someone with a glass wine bottle like that could easily sever an artery or windpipe its not something to be passed of as equivalent too wearing a helmet.
