I for one don't see anything to gain from escalating the spiral of violence, but some seem inclined to do so. Some of it is just being young and male. With all that testosterone, it feels good to some to hit somebody. I suspect a lot of the violence is just testosterone.
Has anyone encountered real people calling themselves the 'Alt Left', or is it all a propaganda ploy be Breitbart and company? Has anyone here actually thrown a punch or swung a club?
No doubt there are a few Black Block folks and folks at the extreme end of the Antifa spectrum who are now getting violent. In a way I do not blame them. They look at history and see many opportunities to strike back early at Totalitarianism that were not taken. The Jews in Germany and other places in Europe could have been more brutal in response to harassment. That having been written, most of this "Alt-Left" business is agitprop from the Duginist scum. I write that from a True Right perspective, BTW. Duginists are not True Rightists. They are revolutionary scum.
I see no evidence that antifa types are Duginists; quite the opposite. However, they are on the Left no doubt about that.
