The left adore ANTIFA & BLM because it suits their mindless narrative. Burning, looting & murder in the name of colour, is a true indictment of their character. Identity politics & cancel culture adherents are Marxist ideologues, seeking to radicalize society. Is ABC to the fore?
You are not terrorists. You only live and act like terrorists.
'Not So Proud Boys'?
Sure you weren't (wink)
As they say in Russia - Bullshitsky.
Proud boys and antifa are both terrorist groups. If you're willing to cause chaos, attack people and damage to private property then you're a terrorist
NAZIS were Brothers, Fathers, Sons, Electricians etc etc., but they were still NAZIS.,... 'Proud Boys' are 100%, right wing white supremacist terrorists.!
But we did like beating the shit out of anyone we didn't like.
“I haven’t seen so many Nazis dissolving since the end of Raiders”
Meanwhile BLM and Antifa set police stations and courthouses on fire, continue to riot and take over blocks of cities but ABC doesn't want to hear about it...
They all look the same.
