Important to keep in mind re antifa violence: antifa show up at these conservative events *for the purpose of political intimidation*. Every time it's antifa threatening a conservative event. The inverse essentially doesn't happen.

That’s an interesting point. How should the names be framed? Right now media would have no problem bashing an anti-anti-white group b/c they openly hates whites. But, they’d have to go through an explanation to bash a group named Anti Racism League/ Anti Bigotry League etc.

The problem there is that the terms "bigotry" and "racism" can easily be used against us, and it's a battle we can't win. Unless we're simply trying to sow confusion, the focus needs to not be "we're the true anti-racists" but "we're standing up against anti-white hate"

I get you, but they can be used against us regardless. Both types of names can be tested. Whatever works. We can use a broad name & operate w/ a narrow goal. I think the Proud Boys name hurt them. I’d use PC names. I’d make them print why for ex. The Anti-Racism League is bad.

PC names can be weaponized against the Left. You can force them to attack PC names over & over again in order to attack the underlying group. I think it will help chip away at PC & identity politics. Who knows though? I’m all for testing to see the best approach.

Frog and I have discussed this before. You can not seriously accuse someone who wants to import Africa into their country of racism, but you can for everyone who disagrees with that. Hence rightists are always one step away from being racist. Left-wingers can with some

credibility say they are fighting against fascists and racist. What right-wingers can say? That they are fighting universalism out of control? You can accuse these leftists of being racists against Whites, but it's simply not the same thing as being racist against minorities.

Regarding the insult Fascism, I say Nazi Fascism is Left Wing. Germans had 2 Left Wing parties & Nazi Fascism was simply to the Right of Communism but still on the far Left of the political ideological spectrum from US parties & politics.

I do not think this is a good categorization. Fascists and Nazis were right-wingers because they were inegalitarian. Leftists prioritize equality. The right is the space for those with other priorities. Of course, different rights have different priorities.
