Well, I mean, you aren't wrong. If it wasn't for antifa there probably wouldn't be a Richard Spencer speaking tour in the first place.

They could have saved everyone even more time and just let him talk and humiliate himself in the first place. The alt-right thrives on imagining itself as the actual oppressed and functions better when their 'leaders' are attacked and prevented from sharing their wisdom. If you let them have the stage everyone gets bored and wanders off instead.

both Milo and Spencer were destroyed because the antifa blew up their profiles too quickly and they weren't ready to handle the increased scrutiny they got from normies. It's not an either/or thing, their own public profile hurt them but the antifa prevented them from reaching that point on their terms, leaving them alone in the spotlight without any serious preparation or support to sway normal audiences

Milo would have been savvy enough not to diss college football in the SEC, but he just wasn't savvy enough not to endorse loving teen boys.

yeah no one gave a poo poo until their profiles were suddenly heightened

spencer in particular would have spent all of his time giving speeches to like-minded goobers to slowly build up his public speaking chops and also gaining enough of a profile to be able to hire a media team savvy enough to tell him to shut the gently caress up about his weird college football ideas in the american south

Watch his football comments cause more heat for Spencer than calling for the 'peaceful' genocide of non-whites.

If he had said "Roll Tide." he would have been lynched and it would have been hilarious.

lol @ Richard Spencer.

quote:

Tensions on campus were high. Afternoon classes were cancelled; many buildings were locked down. Police were everywhere. Three counter-protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct, according to a university police spokesman.

Following the speech, a small group of Spencer’s alt-right supporters left the campus hall and fled on foot as hundreds of students chased them off campus at a full sprint.

http://www.myajc.com/news/state--regional/white-nationalist-richard-spencer-riles-auburn-campus-three-arrested/5HeaD0TCfvfNI7DuXDUciJ/
So this is an interesting thing. Spencer being chased off by a mob of students -- not the black bloc -- is a PR disaster for him. But the threat of a clash between Antifa and the Heimbach goobers caused the university to cancel classes. That would pisssss off students because, in fact, a lot of them want to learn; and here's this Yankee alt-right son of a bitch intruding on their campus and messing it up.

I'm glad Richard Spencer is dumb enough to insult football and Jesus in loving Alabama of all places. Those are the things Alabama loves the most (with the order depending on the Alabamian in question). I'm not glad he managed to not get punched. Richard Spencer getting punched every time he pokes his head out of his house would be even funnier than his idiotic rambling self destruction.

There was an armed protest by an Islamophobic group outside a nearby mosque a few weeks ago. There was a peaceful counter-protest, but then a group of Antifa showed up, one of them armed with a RAS47, and started shouting "fascist!" over and over again. It was getting tense and was a mess.

Eventually, a group of young Muslim guys from the mosque showed up, saw what was going on, and invited the Islamophobic guys out to lunch to a Middle Eastern place to talk about Islam.

The Islamophobic group was like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnsiZOJjfUg

Local news crews followed and filmed the lunch. Not sure it changed many minds but there hasn't been any mosque protests since. The Islamophobes had never met any Muslims before, and were a small group that drove into the city from rural towns. It was a P.R. win for the mosque and all over the news, and in any case, they should be the ones leading the response as it's their mosque that was being protested. Antifa is like a hammer that only sees nails even when the circumstances call for different tactics.

The Antifa group then took to Twitter afterwards shocked and called the Muslim guys liberal interlopers, which was really condescending and frankly neo-colonialist according to their own ideology. Antifa is going to decide how to deal with the Islamophobes and not the local Muslim community? Bah.

Antifa is basically Mr. Magoo, if Mr. Magoo thought he was a freedom fighter saving everyone from nazis.

Luckily regular people are usually able to defuse the situation before they gently caress things up too much.

tell us more about your anti-antifas hardon friend. A lot of reasons why they are around more is because regular people didnt do poo poo but write edgy puff pieces about the alt right and give them all sorts of attention.

After Auburn it's pretty obvious Antifas tactics are counter productive and good old fashion non-violent political action by regular folks is far more affective.

Spencer wanted violence, he wanted his crew of boneheads to mix it up with antifas, so he could get more headlines and draw more people into his group. He didn't get that.

Instead he got chased out of town by normies and everyone is laughing at him(as we should be).

this. i am cool with nazis geting assulted and beaten down, but its clear that it only works some of the time and is more likely to give them a martyr complex then anything. milo and spencer destroyed themselves, hell, trump is destroying himself and the GOP slowly. its seems like its better to have these dudes get hosed up before they can get savvy, then let them hang themselves.

Milo could diss college football all he wants, because he's a pet queer for conservatives. Spencer can't because he's a regular old weepy fop.

Like, Richard wants to be their ethnically pure lord and to command their respect without being of their low ilk; he's always a hair's breadth from pissing off any crowd that isn't basically gathered for a Whitehouse reunion concert.

Milo shucks and jives his way across the stage, comically juggling all the cocks he wants to suck and getting his wig stuck in his pearls, while endorsing that they commit hate crimes and support America's Surly Rich Grandfather. He can get away with so much because of that.
