Current Affairs Anti-fascists (antifa), and a nationwide resistance of hate.

I'm from northern ireland, i was in a band for years and took part in many parades but i dont see any reason for the orange to walk on o'connell street

I don't either. My point was, if they want to march, let them march. Public opinion will be their judge. Kids looking for a bit of a fight and claiming that there is some greater good to their actions only serve to alter public opinion and play in to the hands of the marchers.
It's the same as the far right marchers. The public will judge them but antifas actions almost legitimize them.

Fair play mate. I don't think people really understand what fascism is. At some level lots involved with Antifa don't either, it's not JRM and it's certainly not Germaine Greer or Julie Bindel. I had one accuse me of being a Nazi in a round about way. Without incriminating myself too far, I did a lot more than chase a few old women discussing gender around when I was involved! There is clearly a problem in terms. Too many people think it means "bad person". Under that measurement I can see sense in why people would ask about radical islamism. If we use the measurement of what fascism is though, I'm not sure it's a particularly effective way to spend time or combat Islamism but thats my view I suppose.

Thats a fair point. Do you mean 3rd wave though? The 4th wave seem a bit of a mix, Laura Bates people like that.

3rd-wave is also a mix, let's settle on social media feminism
