#AntifaTerrorists is trending worldwide, and that terrifies me.

It's about controlling the conversation and the perspective.
Folks in control do that to keep their positions of control, and it is of no concern to them whether they are in the right or not.
Any act of resistance to that control is viewed as terrorism, regardless of whether said resistance is deserved or not.
Milkshakes are not being filled with cement.
Punching back is not an attack when you're being pepper sprayed, shot at, run over, or arrested and abused add if you were an animal with no rights.
The man doing all the trumpeting about being terrorized is the man who doxxed and started campaigns which have led to death threats against journalists and antifa activists.
I'm not condoning violence.
I'm saying that if you treat folks like animals, choke them with spikes collars, beat and shame them when they misbehave to your standards, and expect them to be placated with rancid water and dry kibble...
Don't be shocked and surprised when they bite back. They've been given no other means to communicate their displeasure.

I'm not entirely sure about milkshakes and concrete, but there's been a highly disturbing and very violent video circulating that seems to be the central focus of the discussion. It makes me pretty uncomfortable.
That being said, I do appreciate the points you're making. I just can't get my brain hashed out on this one.
