What the Hell is theAlt-Left? And why do people think they have committed violence?

[Catmusicfan]

New job is going good. Just Soooooooooooo much to learn. Can't keep up with all the Trump stuff. maybe good...Maybe bad

But I get a Text from a Trump supporting friend. Who like to bash me for being a liberal (BLEEDING HEART LIBUL!) But when his mother ended up getting hurt and he had no one to take care of her while he worked this (at the the Unemployed "Libul" took care of his mother until they qualified for home health care. Never asked for a dime for my service. Right now he loved me and we got a long until today.

He text me and demanded to know was I part of the Alt-left and was I planning on doing violence to his mother and make it look like he did it.

And he demanded for me to tell him the 5 attacks the alt-left did that our media won't address.

1. it's a word made up by right wing trolls.

2. Trump supporters view BLM and Antifa as the "alt-left" and view them as comparable to Nazis and KKK.

[Catmusicfan]

5. BLM...Oh that is low of low to compare them to KKK and Nazi

what is Antifa

[OliverQ]

7. Anti-Fascists. Some group that opposes fascism that the right claims are violent too.

I know nothing about their history or whether those claims are true.

[Initech]

16. I think it's strange that Antifa shows up at rallies as they're winding down.

It's almost like we're being setup.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Anti-Fascists.

3. Time to stop. That's not a friend. It's an enemy.

Don't reply. Don't show up to help again.

[Catmusicfan]

12. I should but

I'm a masochists and I hate people suffer.

[Weekend Warrior]

15. That persons comments about what you will do to his mother go beyond that.

Masochistic is not the word if you continue down that road. He has established in writing that he feels you might hurt his mother while planting evidence on him. People don't just make comments like that.

[yardwork]

17. I think that you should listen to Weekend Warrior.

[Coventina]

4. Tell him there's no such thing as the "Alt-left".

Or, better yet, end your friendship with this guy.

He doesn't sound like much of a friend.

[Catmusicfan]

8. I know. But I am living is a Red county of PA.

You try to get along and try not to talk Politics.

[Coventina]

13. Tell him you are a member of the antifa.

Then he'll be out of your hair.

[maxsolomon]

6. Antifa, James Hodgkinson, Micah Johnson, the Unabomber?

that's 4?

this is the narrative. they've bought it hook line and sinker. both sides are the same.

all it takes is 1 deviation from MLK's non-violence, and all of Liberalism is discredited. it's so easy.

oh, and did you know the Nazis were Socialists?

[onecaliberal]

11. They're delussional.

[JonLP24]

14. That's damn near paranoid schizophrenia asking a question like that

Unbelievable.

[Quixote1818]

18. There is a photo of the Alt-Left at this DU link about to do violence

19. Some are the anarchists in black. But anarchists are against ALL government, so they're not

Democrats or progressives or socialists.

They're a sort of extreme libertarian.
