Make it known, there are literally 10s of thousands of people - including elected officials up to and including Donald Trump at least expressing approval of that fashy kids actions. Tons of edgy online fascists calling him a hero.

That same mindset doesn't exist on the left, we might laugh that it is pretty ironic that they were looking for trouble and one of the chuds found it... but nobody is celebrating the guy.

    I mean literally nobody knows his name yet, possibly not even police. Kinda hard to use that as a point of reference as this point

    I mean, I'm pretty sure that's just because we don't know their name.

    I'm 90% certain that if we did there'd be a thread with 200+ upbears on here calling them an antifa super soldier and taking donations for a legal defense fund.

    It cannot be stressed enough that right wing ideologies are couched in cowardice. So naturally they crow when they get one over because they are TERRIFIED we're going to find out that they're not nearly as tough as they want us to think they are.

    the difference isnt that we do or dont celebrate something on some principle it's that we're good and they're bad so when a bad guy gets shot its good and when a good guy gets shot its bad

    dont make this into some kind of stupid principled libertarian debate nonsense about the meta issue of self defense or some other dumb shit

    its about fascists vs antifascists, one is good one is bad

    And we will continue to not spread the name of this anonymous hero on any public platform where anyone could gather information.
