Incidentally, Antifa IS a bunch of violent crazies.

White supremanationawhatevers do have a right to free speech,

No, they really don't. I'm sure you would love to support their "right" and see that it's enforced, if even with force, but they absolutely do not have a right to advocate for my extermination. And, let's be honest, the white supremacists who support Donald Trump are ethno-terrorists who envision a future where genocide of non-whites is accepted. Thankfully, we are still quite a few years from that point, though Trump is certainly doing all he can to accelerate the process.

Does the trash that wants white people to die off deserve free speech? I think they do, even though they want to "exterminate" me. You're a crazy person.

I mean I could make an argument that perhaps we should ban hate speech; if only because nothing good ever came out of ideologies built on hate.

Call me crazy but I think that experiment has failed.

So not only do we have to fight the existential crisis of fascists by posting a lot on internet forums we have to look out for white supremacists and ethno-terrorists too? With all these vile types proliferating, I can see now why we need an echo chamber to keep these out so we can better fight them by staying inside the echo chamber.

Incidentally, Antifa IS a bunch of violent crazies.

White supremanationawhatevers do have a right to free speech, Antifa has a right to free speech, both also have a right to freedom of assembly, and when any individuals from either gang of distinguished mentally-challenged fellows get violent they should be thrown in jail / prison for a commensurate amount of time for the violence they initiate.

Kthx.

Antifa thinks that they are virtuous because they are early to the resistance, when all they do is break the windows of coffee shops and pick fights amongst public chaos. Normal people hold the world together and act when they can actually contribute something of lasting value to resist fascist extremism. It's pathetic that they cannot see that.

Antifa isn't one identifiable group. It's a movement comprised of various disparate organizations, each mobilizing in various different ways - some violence, as we've seen, while others are less so and more focused on grassroots organizing.

It's a movement with a funny way of organizing. Forgo social hierarchies so your organization lacks definite borders and accountability brehs.

Hate speech is subjective, and I personally don't want people like Trump deciding what is or isn't hateful.

[Nintex]

Moderation in this age of Trump, whose presidency has given rise to open and unapologetic affinity for fascism, is no different than collaboration. You cannot be a moderate in an environment where people go on social media, with their identities exposed, and gladly express vile and hateful views that were once relegated to the fringes of public opinion (yes, they've always existed in the shadows, but their open expression would always be met with swift and penalizing rebuke). Many moderate Germans believed their Jewish friends would face little persecution under Hitler's regime. Funny how that turned out.

The only thing Trump would persecute is Rosie O'Donell.

He's not a fascist and neither are those that voted for him (or at least not all of them). I didn't vote for the guy, I don't even live in the US, but I think it went down like this:

Imagine standing in a voting booth, and there the name is. DONALD J. TRUMP on the ballot for president. Sure you have this great rational choice that you are surely to vote for and you told all your neighbors that you'd never vote Trump.
But... as you want to press the button you think: "This person will meet with Putin.. .but what if Trump would meet with Putin or Trump would do the White Correspondents Dinner or Trump would..."
And then before you know it, you voted Trump in jest. Because he can't win anyway. And you come home and the results roll in... oh shit.

"Jesus guys, who voted for Trump? I thought we had agreed on Clinton or a deez nuts write-in?"
"Well, I didn't vote for him."

If you want to blame anyone for Trump blame either the Democrats for putting Clinton on the ballot and not replacing her after she collapsed on 9/11 or the GOP for going with Trump as their candidate.
They even made him sign a pledge to make sure he would be their candidate. According to Wikileaks the Clinton team even elevated Trump's candidacy with help of the press because he could't possibly win.
Meanwhile all his close friends were saying: "He did this as a PR stunt, please don't vote for him, he told me he would hate being president"

You all got outplayed by Donald Trump who tried so hard not to get elected that he leaked his own dirt to the press. And now everyone says he's stupid/dumb etc. while he sits around getting paid for trolling on Twitter and playing Golf.
Meanwhile Mueller is shifting through 4chan troll posts and Moldovian click farms trying to figure out the 'Russian collusion' that went from: "Trump got paid by the KGB in the 80's to denuke the US" to: "Boris might've bought some Facebook ads". 


But but but millenials are rascists, fascists, alt-right buh buh

Imagine growing up and you turn on the TV.
- Oh, wow something is wrong with North Korea. Good thing Blitzer asks Trump what to do, he knows things
- 9/11 end of the world as we know it and everyone has to know that it is
- Daily terrorists scares featuring Dick Cheney's bunker models
- ALERT ALERT A MULSIM HAS ENTERED THE US LIVE NOW
- WMD's everywhere
- Footage of bombing shit in Iraq and yelling "Yeehaw" on CNN
- Complete nincompoop is president. Says: "What's this drive!" as he tells terrorists sponsored by Iran to: "Bring it!"
- Incompetent politicians crash the economy after crashing the Middle East as new guy everyone was raving about takes over. Goodbye birthday presents.
- Jesus, this Donald Trump guy is on TV a lot. Does live in a nice gold tower though
- New guy doesn't do anything when people in Middle East start yelling a lot
- Oh boy, turns out Black Messiah is actually a mulsim(?) as well, this is bad folks, very bad. Donald Trump who knew things about business and North Korea is luckily on the case
etc.

For the record, I didn't even live in the US and got most of this shit bi-daily. Until at some point Tony Blair and Bush were suddenly bad guys and we had to bomb the distinguished mentally-challenged fellow in Libya for killing people we wanted to kill 3 weeks ago.

Then you turn 18/21 whatever and you get to vote for the first time. Who do you vote for. The crazy old lady that keeps yelling on TV. Or the guy that you've seen bumbling around since you were a toddler who 'knows' things and has lots of money, women and success. He says everything is a mess and all you've seen is a mess. So you're like: "This guy is right! and I've seen on TV that he knows things!"

And the things he knows, well Trump has seen those on TV.

[Swollen Bowels]

First, is there something inherently wrong with an "echo chamber"? Is there a problem fostering a community where rank bigotry was deem unacceptable and forbidden? Also, can you give me some examples of valid opinions that GAF refused the expression of? Or, what opinions on GAF were deemed above reproach and undeserving of challenge?

That antifa shouldn't go around beating the shit out of people, for starters. Gaf did not like neutrality, either you want to beat the shit out of nazis, or you are one. I felt like if I ever posted in a thread and extolled passive resistance over violence in any of the threads over the last few months, I would be banned. You used to be able to have an argument with someone and not have have to worry about it. So why speak your mind when the odds of being banned are so high.

Even Ghandi didn't succeed through passive resistance. Passive resistance was shuttled to the ovens in Hiter's Germany, and even more recent instances in the past half century show just how ineffective passively resisting oppression is. The people being beaten by antifa are screaming "Jews will not replace us" and "blood and soil." Do you honestly think people like that are interested in sitting down and talking it over?

GAF had some vocal antifa supporters

Apparently IrishNinja is in AntiFa, so he likely bailed when I posted Tim Pool.

Evidence? I mean he is leftist as fuck, but calling someone a domestic terrorist should at least require some proof.

It was in slaent's thread on the gaf implosion. It would also explain why he was at the Richard Spencer speaking event.

No shade.

You're witnessing the rumblings of a violent uprising. Best believe that. What we're seeing in the NFL is essentially a modern day slave rebellion. It's only going to get uglier as the people (black people, principally) become more defiant of Trump, supporters, and the cowards on the left who want to compromise with these fascists.

Emily Rogers is going to be admin, along with SweetNicole/Patticakes who is a trans bi woman with a lesbian partner.

That Polygon article did work

Why are there so many trans video game “personalities”?

What is the intersectionality between being picky about pronouns and seeking out the sickest switch rumors or to make indie games?

Always wanted to ask on GAF but knew I’d catch a ban.

Its not a popular opinion by any stretch but..I still think being trans is a mental health problem.
And, as we can all really know, gaming does in fact collect the largest contingency of autist/special fellow types. Shut-ins, self loathing etc..
I think its has a 'fetish' quality to it also..and..we can see the odd fetish types also drawn to gaming. Furries, guys WAY to sexually deep into cartoon characters.

Its the one thing I just gonna not get past on GAF. Sorry, its a mental illness.
Give it time and old GAF would have had you banned for being a CIS male not willing to plow a Fur suit that labeled its self a 'female-fur' even tho the guy inside had a massive dong.

Please keep in mind we have at least one trans member so please be considerate on how you adress this issue.

I mean, it’s absolutely a mental illness. How can thininginv that your dick is not supposed to be there be anything other than a mental illness? It is not really all that different than those people that want a doctor to cut off their perfectly functioning leg, or other types of body dysmorphia.

Now, we can argue that as mental illnesses go, it’s innoccuous, and sort of whatever, and people shouldn’t be ostracized for it, and their not really hurting people, etc. but to say they are 100% completely sane, I think is incorrect.

Of course... who of us is completely 100% sane anyway.

Edit: and for any trans people reading this, I don’t really give a shit what you do with your life and am perfectly fine pooping in the same room as you.

I'm sorry your feelings were hurt by GAF's response to Trump and what he symbolizes, but maybe you should feel more concerned for the actual victims of these Nazis and how their violence is being slowly and methodically normalized thanks to gutless moderates crying over infringements on speech.

My feelings weren't hurt, a lot of Gafs were.

I know what Trump symbolizes and I'm as anti Trump as any sane person should be, Also many of the big mouths on gaf were just as gutless, armchair protesting won't do shit. Which is what many of them specialized in.

Ask them when will they'll be going out to get shit done, suddenly people are 'busy' or have other priorities.

White supremanationawhatevers do have a right to free speech,

No, they really don't. I'm sure you would love to support their "right" and see that it's enforced, if even with force, but they absolutely do not have a right to advocate for my extermination. And, let's be honest, the white supremacists who support Donald Trump are ethno-terrorists who envision a future where genocide of non-whites is accepted. Thankfully, we are still quite a few years from that point, though Trump is certainly doing all he can to accelerate the process.

There's a staggering lack of self awareness regarding this talking point and it's something a lot of people in your make assume. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) they do have a right to free speech so long as they aren't saying violent rhetoric (which constitutes as hate speech). What's funny is that this was often said on gaf, a site that regularly allowed users to say things like,"I think all white peoole are racist and I don't trust them" among other things, many of which were said by yours truly. But here's the thing, the same right that allows them to do their right wing shit is the same thing that allowed us to go ham on cacs at ye ol' neogaf: freedom of speech. And when I said freedom of speech, I do not mean within the confines of neogaf (which clearly didn't value free speech) but within the greater scope of the American freedom map. Essentially, unless you're willing to give up both, you shouldn't want one to be taken away. And for that reason, neither should be taken away. The only reasonable recourse is then to do battle, with words, as to why they are wrong and ignoring that, empathizing and trying to understand and what you can do to help.

The way this generation does not value freedom of speech is both shocking and frightening.

First, is there something inherently wrong with an "echo chamber"? Is there a problem fostering a community where rank bigotry was deem unacceptable and forbidden? Also, can you give me some examples of valid opinions that GAF refused the expression of? Or, what opinions on GAF were deemed above reproach and undeserving of challenge?

That antifa shouldn't go around beating the shit out of people, for starters. Gaf did not like neutrality, either you want to beat the shit out of nazis, or you are one. I felt like if I ever posted in a thread and extolled passive resistance over violence in any of the threads over the last few months, I would be banned. You used to be able to have an argument with someone and not have have to worry about it. So why speak your mind when the odds of being banned are so high.

Even Ghandi didn't succeed through passive resistance. Passive resistance was shuttled to the ovens in Hiter's Germany, and even more recent instances in the past half century show just how ineffective passively resisting oppression is. The people being beaten by antifa are screaming "Jews will not replace us" and "blood and soil." Do you honestly think people like that are interested in sitting down and talking it over?

Utterly delusional. You are equating the passive resistance of Jewish people in WWII who were being exterminated with a movement built in large part upon "I didn't get what I wanted" and "I need something to scream about today so I feel like I matter..and I will do so by being completely uninformed about the world."

When I think of AF, I am so reminded of Diane Keaton at 39:37, except AF never winds up doing anything that actually effects matters for the better.

No we need to witness when the first posts for resetgaf begin and the civil war begins

That'll do, as well, but I have a feeling it will be boring as people will just settle back into the tired old groove.

Honestly very confused by what the tone of the site is. Seems exactly like GAF 2.0 at this point.

More like GAF˛

They don't seem to be aiming for more of the same but instead something much much worse.

GAF 2: Triggered Harder

You're witnessing the rumblings of a violent uprising. Best believe that. What we're seeing in the NFL is essentially a modern day slave rebellion. It's only going to get uglier as the people (black people, principally) become more defiant of Trump, supporters, and the cowards on the left who want to compromise with these fascists.

I still got Giovanni here, but he's gotta go soon, are we going to get those tenets of fascism or not?

Dude's got a book to ghostwrite.

Equality can only come from voluntary acceptance of each other, like in sports.

Does the trash that wants white people to die off deserve free speech? I think they do, even though they want to "exterminate" me. You're a crazy person.

I mean I could make an argument that perhaps we should ban hate speech; if only because nothing good ever came out of ideologies built on hate.

Call me crazy but I think that experiment has failed.

Hate speech is subjective, and I personally don't want people like Trump deciding what is or isn't hateful.

We could decide to make it less subjective.

We already have hate crimes. Apply that to what defines hate speech and bingo.

If you want that shit move to canada or europe and fuck off.

GAF had some vocal antifa supporters

Apparently IrishNinja is in AntiFa, so he likely bailed when I posted Tim Pool.

He sounded like an Antifa nutjob.

He is an Antifa nutjob.
