You've got a bad case of the old moral equivalence there mate, with a side helping of "What the fuck!"

for not standing with the far left or the far right?

Hmmm ok.

One could question some of Antifa dealings over the time, but I've never seen them standing for bad cause. They always stand up for weak and oppressed.

Go read the BBC article regarding the ‘pallets of bricks’ bollocks you’re talking about, all been shown up for the shite it is.

Link? couldn't find it..

Can’t see any rioters there, and if there were surely they’d have to wait until they were on their property before acting?

if you look at the further responses following this before quoting an old post that be appreciated.

Nuts that this has just popped up on my feed.

Still find myself shaking my head.

Looking back on the excuses as well! Wow...

It may be true that the looting and criminality have diluted the message and aims domestically but I don't think that's the case internationally, as attested to by many of the marches going on around the world.

I remember reading Time Magazine (the American version) at the time of the Mark Duggan/looting in 2011. Over here, most people just thought it was about widespread criminality and the underclass of society stealing as much shit as they could but in America (or according to the people interviewed by the magazine), the view seemed to be that the near-entirety of the unrest was to do with Mark Duggan/police brutality.

There is a need for worldwide reform on the matter, but America has a HUGE problem for various reasons. They can't afford for this to be hijacked IMO.

Don’t tell me.

All lives matter.
When is it International Men’s Day?
Why is there no Straight Pride

Etc.

I've seen nobody remotely looking Antifa subculture looting anything on videos I've seen. It's almost exclusively typical black community low-end criminals

Fair enough if there the only videos you've seen
