Seriously, Dragoneer?
"At this time, we could not find enough evidence to consider Antifa a hate group and what was provided appeared to be of false-equivalence. There has been voiced concern about their operations on Fur Affinity and we have and will continue to monitor and take action against any user who promotes or encourages illegal activites and violence on our website as per our rules. Concerning the Alt-Left, there is no evidence one exists, and the Alt-Light or New Right has specifically distanced themselves from the Alt-Right and openly rejected hate and identity politics."

So I guess openly calling people to violence, shoving over the elderly, throwing bricks into crowds, and cracking people over the skulls with bike locks aren't good enough to make you a hate or terrorist group.
Concerning the Alt-Left, there is no evidence one exists
YES THERE IS. The shit you're doing right now is evidence of it. It's called Social Justice, and you're bending the knee to it.

Seriously, do these people not know the old sayings "An eye for an eye leaves the world blind" and "Two wrongs don't make a right"? I mean...come on.
That tastes a little too much like kool-aid to me, dude. Just saying.
"what I call Alt-Right Bingo"
You're the one who's labeling me, dude. And you're doing it arbitrarily, and that's why I got particularly upset. Not because you disagree with me, but that you think that ONLY the Alt-Right is anti-SJW, and then you basically say I'm siding with those fuckwits. Fuck the Alt-Right. But just because I hate them doesn't mean that I'm going to go be buddies with fucking communists, either. Like I said on Discord, they're both pieces of shit. It is possible to be Liberal without bending knee to whackos, you know.
When I say libertarian, I mean that I believe in personal freedoms. Freedom of speech, even if the other person is saying something completely disgusting. The right to bodily autonomy, the right for consenting adults to marry and have sex, the equality of the sexes, races, and people of different sexual orientations. I do not believe in a business's right to discriminate because that has a negative impact on a community.
I'm a socialist because I want my country, America, to have universal health care. My spouse went blind because he could not afford to treat the rosacea that progressed into his eyes and perforated his cornea. I have crippling mental illnesses and can barely afford my medication, and I have limited to no access to health care. I believe health care is a fucking right and it's a tragedy that we don't get that here. I believe internet is essential to our society and should be treated like a utility, not a luxury. Speaking of utilities, I believe the government should provide those to the people. Yes, that includes internet and phone coverage. I believe we need to expand our transit systems across our country so that every city give access to it's citizens to travel and go to where they need to go. I believe the government should provide housing for the poor. I believe higher education should be free.
Is this the assumption you made of me or have I blown your mind?
I'm anti-sjw. I'm also a libertarian socialist.
Give me an example of them attacking someone who didn't hold some kind of despicable belief.
And they're not the only ones redefining terms, considering the alt-right is just branded Neo-Nazism.
Because they've proven time and time again that they're not the good guys. They genuinely think they are, but that's only because they've been told they are by the same people who put them up to what they're doing.
"Give me an example of them attacking someone who didn't hold some kind of despicable belief."
That's the problem. They're attacking people simply for holding beliefs - an action which is strictly illegal and prohibited by the constitution. You also have to think in terms of precedent; if they're allowed to get away with this, then there's precedent justification for group X to attack group Y because group X thinks Y's are "despicable" (religious groups in particular come to mind). Do keep in mind that American law relies heavily on precedent.
I agree with them this time however! we need to get all these damn deplorables OUT of our precious fandom!
We should start with the administrative staff of FA =p
Even when you show them the actual proof, one way or another, they either don't want to see it or will find some way of convincing themselves it is all "the other side" doing it.
The far left's new thing is saying free speech is being "weaponized" and needs to be "controlled".
History shows us that the "good guys" are NEVER the ones that push for control and censorship of other people, because when you start trying to control, censor, or ban one side or the other, it just makes them stronger.
Any violence by antifa or the left is directed, mostly specifically and justifiably, at the violent far right, with the rare exception of the occasional shit-disturber who is there to commit violence. Antifa groups don't tolerate people like that. The vast majority of their work is non violent, and behind the scenes, not in street actions.
Even the FBI agrees that antifa isn't a threat, but the violent far right is. Too bad there wasn't an active and militant antifa movement prior to WWII. The fascists might not have gained so much ground and lives may have been saved. Antifa is motivated by a deep love of all non violent people and the countering of violence. And no. There is no such thing as an alt left, though there is a self-declared alt right, and they're a violent threat that actually kills and terrorizes innocent people.
And social justice is wrong? WTF?
