See I think what you’re doing here is what you accuse the left of doing - conflating conservatives with fascists/far right politics. There is a difference. Spencer is an admitted white supremacist, Milo described a guy with a giant swastika tattoo as ‘very on brand for me’. Those “conservative speakers” being banned from entering countries are usually claiming that multiculturalism equals white genocide and for segregation or expulsion of “lesser” races or cultures. These are not conservative positions.

And again no - far more anarchists than communists, and not attacking anyone who disagrees, rather disrupting fascist and far right rallies, and yes sometimes employing violence - often in self defence, though I wouldn’t claim always.

And if you don’t dispute that fascists and far right groups are responsible for greater rates of violence, why are you claiming antifa are a worldwide scourge? Wouldn’t that context actually vindicate their position?

Not a fan of getting in the Red V...prefer to wait for the other 3 weeks of the month.

I recommend everyone to watch on Youtube. Why the left Loves Mass Immigration, that was uploaded by Oppressed Media. This video pertains to numerous things on this thread.

I took the time to watch the video. My summary? It's a piece of shit.

The writer demonstrates zero understanding of the interrelationship between nations, culture and economics. He creates flawed arguments on behalf of his supposed opponents, then disputes them.

You've been sucked into the American culture wars. I think you should avoid debates where almost everyone involved is a moron.

Everyone check out what SBD82 idea of what a piece of shit looks like.

Well avoiding questions anyway - is the DPRK Democratic? I mean it says it in the name right?

If you get your perceptions from dipshit youtubers you’re gonna have a pretty screwy reality. Try a library.

Frank, there's not much you can learn in an echo chamber. And trying to drag others into the same echo chamber just puts you down there with the zealots and conspiracy theorists.

But credit where it's due... you did make me laugh with your nazis = commies routine. FTR, it is a good joke that has its origins in the early 2000s, when conservative comedians attempted to pass the buck on Hitler. They wouldn't have got away it 20 years earlier as there were too many people alive who were actually there at the time. Your version of the joke is the best I've heard so far.

Honestly frank, the video is tripe. I've watched plenty of YouTube videos that follow a similar formula:
  • Respond to vague arguments with specific isolated examples.
  • Narrate in a manner that is designed to ingratiate the narrator with the viewer; making the viewer feel smart for agreeing with the narrator and making condescending comments about anyone who doesn't agree with "us".
  • make tenuous links between isolated world events that have no relationship to one another.
  • Present "gotcha" moments where the subject of an interview isn't smart enough to argue their case properly, as though this vindicates the other side.
I'm not someone who cries "racist" at anyone who has pro-nationalist beliefs. I believe that there is a meaningful debate that can happen around this issue, but the video that you have posted is nothing but dog whistling.

If you're genuinely interested in the subject, I think you should redefine your search framework and look at the people who analyse nationalist vs globalist, not the ones who do "leftards vs rightards".

The fact remains the left does love mass immigration.
They want Sydney to grow another 2 MILLION PEOPLE for goodness sakes.
Frank is right.
It's a conspiracy to screw us.

I am beyond nationalists vs globalist and leftards vs rightards. I but do not care to elaborate any further.

Actually some conservationists are calling for the population growth to be capped.
The "they" who say Sydney will grow another 2 million are analysts who study long term population trends. Part of this is based on government policies to encourage skilled immigrants to come to Australia. If there are no immmigrants, Australia's population would fall.
Frank is wrong. So are you.
Who is running this conspiracy? Who are "us"?

I never said that nazis = commies.

I did say that Antifa are communists.

I also did say that Nazi party stands for National Socialist Workers Party.

They were fascists. Which incorporates policies that we recognise in modern politics as both left and right.

Those “conservative speakers” being banned from entering countries are usually claiming that multiculturalism equals white genocide and for segregation or expulsion of “lesser” races or cultures. These are not conservative positions.

So which speakers that have been banned from entering countries, banned from social media or violently protested against; are so evil that they cannot be heard?

Is Jordan Peterson far right? What about Ben Shapiro? Dave Rubin? Christina Sommers? Steven Crowder? Lauren Southern? Tommy Robinson? All these guys have been harassed by the left with violent protests, undermining their ability to speak to people who have paid money to see than at a private event or just outright been banned or suspended from social media, simply for having right wing views that the left seems to be wrong.

Yet the left is happy to let people like Louis Farrakhan speak and publically support him, despite his hateful, anti-Semitic, racist vitriol that has actually led to the deaths of people.

I wouldn’t even call Milo far right; he’s just a right wing provocateur who makes his money from saying things the left says nobody should be allowed to say.

And if you don’t dispute that fascists and far right groups are responsible for greater rates of violence, why are you claiming antifa are a worldwide scourge? Wouldn’t that context actually vindicate their position?

Again, you are trying to change the argument. The original question had nothing to do with right wing groups, it was specifically about antifa; but now that you seem to realise that they are indeed a hateful group, so you want to make the question about right wing groups to change the actual argument.

The question was about antifa. No mention was made of anyone else until you realised your error.

The problem (if there is one) isn’t immigration to Australia, rather it’s how to get immigrants (or just Australians in general) to not move to the big cities and to try and de-centralise Australian population centres, because at the current rate, it just does not seem sustainable.

The left does have a tendency to be pro immigration due to immigrants tending to vote left in new countries for economic reasons.

It’s also an extension of socialist policies to try and have the government “look after” everyone and provide them with a lifestyle that is general set to an arbitrary point.

Southern was recently denied entry into the UK, which is absurd when they let ISIS maniacs back in.
