People worried about antifa are the same people who are fine with the government permanently orphaning hundreds of migrant children. Antifa is such a nothing, there are so many headlines with alt-right violence, and barely ANY from the antifa side, it's an absolute joke. I'm far more worried about your average gun-toting woman-hating Trump supporter going nuts, happens twenty times more often than ANYTHING from the left.
I'll have to disagree. It's every other day some loony from the lift is attacking someone or trying to ruin lives with false accusations. Just recently some dude "fighting for women's rights" kicked a woman for disagreeing with abortions. I'm prochoice myself but I wont kick you for having the opposite opinion. Also those kids wouldn't be separated from their parents if those parents didn't break the law. When an American breaks a law they are separated from their kids to. And depending on the situation those kids are put in foster homes to.

Well, perhaps just to post a comment seeking attention. At least that's what the evidence leads me to believe.
I guess you're right about that. It's a bit like knocking on windows of Zoo animals. Most people know they shouldn't do it, but do it anyways.

Sounds to me like you're mainly arguing against the right wing fantasy of Antifa.
Even with your more aggressive variant (a direct result of your also much more aggressive far right protesters) they're still the much smaller of two evils.
Even if you sprinkle in the x% of crazies you find in any group of people.

Also, if you don't like Antifa, solve your right nationalist problem.

There's so much bs here.
Every day shit happens all over the place. People spraypaint synagogues, people attack migrants, right wing facebook groups dox people on the left and send them death threats for weeks.

And no, while you're separated, you still have visitation rights. You can write letters, you can communnicate. You're not entirely separated from your children and family to the point where they can't even reunite you again. Separation is rarely an option taken when the childs life or health is in danger and the parents are the cause of that. And even then, in your system, hundreds of children die at home because child services don't do anything.
And crossing a border is not breaking the law. You need to cross a boarder to ask for refuge. It's how it works.

Why? The last thing 'right nationalist' groups want (not the moronic neo-nazi caricatures you see plastered in news media) is for Antifa to disappear - content like this is better propaganda then anything they could spin up internally.

So I take it you are against nationalism then?

Yeah, and also in that case one will wonder if the animals knocking the window hold some kind of perversion and extract pleasure from annoying the animals being kept captive. Sure there is a reason for the repeated behavior.

Coming from Germany I can really see why you're acting this way. German leftists just love having illegal immigrants flooding their country and having them ruin it. Antifa is much worse than the far right by using violence, smashing up storefronts, stopping traffic so people can't get to work, etc. These people are lunatics. Don't even try to compare the two because you will lose the debate. Don't do it.

Not sure about him, but I am. As it stands in modern society it is just another blanket term justifying mob-mentality, not so different from religion in the middle age and a common excuse to justify similar inhumane behavior.

I really disagree here, but I respect your opinion. I am a nationalist, I love my country, and would defend it to my last breath if need be.

Well, not being funny, but you are German. Nationalism is frowned upon in Germany. I think it suddenly became unpopular there at the end of the 1930s for some reason.

But who in Germany needs nationalism? Germans can be continentalist - you know... At top of the EU ladder. The EU is theirs. Not a bullet fired.

To be honest, I have a weird love/hate relationship with my own country, yet I would defend it to my last breath also. But any vision of "nationalism" that makes a nationality seem better than any other, bans or reduce minorities or any other group of people, I am against that. Just trying to state there is some kind of reason that makes <insert nation here> superior is BS to me.

I think we have differing meanings of Nationalism.

Nationalism here, means celebrating your countries' history, culture, democracy and all the things that make you, you.

It is about not having your history wiped from memory. About being proud of where you are from. Nothing to do with whom is better or not. All countries have different merits.

If it is about who is "better" then us British are probably way down the list thanks to several socialist governments since WW2.

And yes, I`m ready to die for my country if it ever came to it, just like my forefathers were.

I wouldn't agree with a nationalist who would try to reduce a minority and say they are better but some cultures are better than others. It's just true. You can't compare the culture of Europe to the culture of Africa. That's a joke. I don't want my country or Europe turning into Africa, Mexico, or the middle east.
 
Society is disgusting nowadays.

Can you imagine if there were another world war?
With all the fairies and snowflakes in the world today?

Can you imagine Geldof on the front line? Or even that twinkletoes "Gok-Wan" whatever his name is?

Western style democracy would be screwed.

Everything that is extreme isn't good regarding belief and politics. Be it extreme left or extreme right. Not saying right or left is bad just the extreme left/right groups are. I myself am more of a centralist right wing person but in no way an extremist

This is why I love being an American, This is why I am a nationalist, this is why I love my freedom, and this is why I would defend my country and my countrymen until my last breath. Everything we worked so hard for is being destroyed by commie pricks but sooner or later the American patriots will stand up to the corruption of our government and antifa! We defeated the British and we will defeat anybody else! Haha sorry but I'm very patriotic.
