yeah that was how my time on the counter protest side ended
00:00:08.500
so first of all like they didn't want to ask like oh why are you here what do you believe and why
00:00:18.940
there's no curiosity the presumption is we're right well first of all you didn't have a stance
00:00:26.900
but the fact that you filmed antifa i think that that's a giveaway because the only people that
00:00:34.180
want to document antifa is somebody who's on the other side um right right that is i think to them
00:00:41.120
the fact that antifa is covered means they are within the movement they are protecting the
00:00:47.600
movement and part of that protection is them being aggressive and having their identities covered
00:00:52.220
so if anything shows their identities then that compromises the members of antifa which are just
00:01:00.860
loosely anybody who just shows up to these things uh i know there's different chats or forums that
00:01:08.780
they're on and they do organize or they have call to actions that way um there is i think it's worth
00:01:16.580
noting maybe i'll bring this up um there there's there's books and resources for antifa to like
00:01:26.360
teaching kind of the tactics and strategies for disruption uh the book and website is called
00:01:34.760
uh it's called beautiful trouble i'm just going to pull it up here um because
00:01:41.200
we saw that in action and this this website actually
00:01:47.640
makes a better sense so well it sounds pretty good like oh you're empowering individuals to get
00:01:55.700
their voices heard etc and um but you start looking more into the theories and the tactics
00:02:03.620
you have things like well the real action is your target's reaction
00:02:14.020
and they're they have historical not only the target the real action is the
00:02:20.960
so that's some that's a that's a very particular linguistic
00:02:32.000
is that by them going to a protest and being antagonistic
00:02:37.960
if there's anybody gets shoved back they have footage of somebody shoving them and if
00:02:45.760
they're calling the protest if they're calling protesters fascists or alt-right or they're violent
00:02:52.840
or they're hateful any reaction from them defending themselves can now be used as an example
00:03:34.600
they the demand for fascism right now is higher than the actual supply
00:03:42.920
these parents are not fascist by any means the definition
