Is it normal that i don't consider certain far leftists/antifa to be that weak?

I am a conservative, but whenever I encounter some antifa or some other certain type of far leftist somewhere, I tend to be careful.

Despite what some other conservatives might say, I think antifa people and the certain other types of far leftists can be pretty dangerous. They're first of all aggressive and violent. Second of all, their ideologies are messed up.

I've seen them beating people, both live and in video footage.
I can't even deny the possibility of some antifa or certain other type of far leftist being a kidnapper that tortures the kidnapped one.

    Radicals of any political persuasion can be hurtful with a weapon. Real power is when your ideas are so strong that violence is useless.

    I think your opinion is smart. Those people are awful, entitled assholes with a by any means necessary sort of attitude.

      If you mean Anarchists, I'm personally insulted, because I am none of those things. The "by any means" reference is totally wrong: Anarchists, unlike communists, do not believe that the end justifies the means and the manner by which you reach your objective to make positive changes is just as important ad your goal.

        No, I meant Antifa, I really should have been more clear, and specific in my response. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, and my lack of specificity.

            No problemo, I'm glad you brought it to my attention. I don't think OP should have put Anarchists, and Antifa people together.

            Ideally Anarchy would be peaceful, and there simply wouldn't be a need for government, but I digress. I tend to personally think that a lot of problems in the world come down to human nature, or as this one individual I used to know would say that stuff is a matter of human frailty. Of course it all depends on the human in question.

            The older I get the more I tend to see that I can't change other people, but the flip side of that is that they can't really change me unless I allow them to, or want to change. I have to accept, and or reject people based on who they are, and not try to change them to suit my own wants, and or needs.

            Sorry, my response has turned out to be a bit of a rant, I just got off the phone with someone I used to talk to, and he was talking about declawing cats, and how he thinks it's okay, and all so naturally it kinda triggered me emotionally. I told him that didn't believe it declawing cats, and if I had a pet cougar I wouldn't declaw it. I'm just glad I didn't argue about it, but has got me thinking.

            Honestly, I was waiting for someone to get on my case for quoting Malcolm X, because the whole, "by any means necessary", comment is something Malcolm X used to say. I think you're more on point with regard to the topic when you referenced Communists, and the whole , "the ends justifies the means", thing to which I, of course, don't subscribe.

              Declawing cats is absolutely not ok. America is one of the only developed countries in the world where this is legal. Everywhere else correctly considers this to be animal abuse and treats it as a criminal act.

              There aren't many issues that I will immediately judge someone on because I generally like to live and let live, but as soon as someone tells me they are ok with declawing cats I immediately lose all respect for them. It's fucking disgusting and it makes me seriously question their whole world view and value system. It's just one of those things that's totally indefensible.

    I realised I was an Anarchist back in the 1970's and I am not violent, I'm totally opposed to violence in all circumstances and have in fact done non violent peacekeeping training, run by people with Anarchist principles.

    There are many different versions of Anarchism, but of course it's the violent few who get all the publicity. All Anarchism means is to function without rulers and to not rule over other people, but that can be interpreted in many ways. It doesn't mean no rules as it's often accused of being, but rules have to be agreed to by everyone and not imposed form above.

      I think Anarchism sounds great in theory, but it practice it would be harder to maintain, because of human nature, and how some people just naturally want to exploit, and dominate others unfortunately.

        It's not possible to know whether or not it's natural for some people to want to exploit and dominate others when we live in a society where that's accepted as the norm.

    I never got the logic of them being both weak and something you should be afraid of. If something is weak i don't fear it if it try's to do something I'll crush it. But if it was a threat then I'd be careful conservatives like liberals overhype things more then they should Antifa isn't everywhere I've never even meet one. As for anarchists I could see more of a reason to be afraid of them then Antifa which is more of an annoyance to me.

      I live in Helsinki, the capital city of Finland, and there are too many antifa people and anarchists here.

        I'm in America bud to be fair I wouldn't be able to judge your situation. I'm mainly talking about American conservatives like the president who acts like threats are everywhere. Some even say that cities are being burned to the ground no sources or proof they just expect you to take their word for it. And even if they do show something it is not as extreme as they claim it is. Europe Africa Asia and Latin America on the other hand has plenty of problems that are life threatening so I don't doubt you.

      I have met some, they're fascists basically. No different than the brown and black shirts from the 30s.

    That's what they want you to think. Just shoot em if they try to attack. Make sure they die tho or they will cry and sue you.

    They can only do that because they attack in groups. Best advice I can give you if you are a person of weaker stature who can't defend themselves with just their hands or a knife is to purchase a firearm and carry it if you expect to be going into any danger areas (conservative talks, conservative meet-ups, rep. Rallies/protests, etc.). That's where they generally like to harass and cause terror the most

      I've seen far leftists and antifa people that can hurt someone physically all by themselves. And yeah, they have hurt even some tall and muscular people physically, and definitely all by themselves.

    I’m an anarchist and a pacifist and most are so idk what you’re talking about. It’s sort of just an emphasis on peace love freedom and individuality which I think most people would agree on

      Well, I guess there are different types of anarchists then...

      I was talking about the extreme anarchists that do riots, break things outdoors, etc.

        Those aren't anarchists. They are paid liberal mobs. Their goal is to create chaos and fear so that the government can come in and "save" you by asserting more power and control.

        Liberals love this stuff.

    Yeah, they're strong in groups too. Get them in a swarm, where they know they can win, and they'll go for you.
