Everyone is against fascism.  Nothing special or unusual about that.

Antifa is against free speech.

I suppose that puts you on the fascist side, in favor of the Neo Nazi and KKK's right to harass minorities?  They seem to get creative in their propaganda attempts anyway.

Hmmm...I assume that you must favor/support Antifa. Me, I'm not siding with either of them. Hint...A real  American liberal wouldn't side with either radical group. You see, who kills who and how many of them are   killed and injured by each other  in the process doesn't matter to me at all.

I sympathize with the Antifa a little more than the KKK and the Neo Nazi, but the games they play seem to be for a younger crowd.  Some people seem to enjoy a little violence and intimidation.  The history of racism is too horrible to not care at all, but I am not tempted to join any protests.  

I treat all three groups as a side show now, though.  After OKC and again after September 11, the two major parties declared that violence and terrorism was not to be decisive in American politics, and the people tended to agree.  The spiral of violence seemed to trail down after OKC.  The violent decisions of federal law enforcement were discouraged.  The incidents which were becoming common trailed off as both sides got second thoughts.  There was something about bombing a day care center to make a political point that encouraged second thoughts.

Those who intimidate, bully and make empty threats of violence today are disgraceful.  That does not mean it couldn't become important again should the extremists go too far.  That is so Industrial Age though.

I don't sympathize with either one of them and I have no preference as far as who wins or does what to who either.
