What to even say to a retarded leftie friend, when he offers to take you to a local antifa group to get to know them, since "they aren't such a bad people"?

They want me dead you retard. What kind of an offer is that?

@LukeAlmighty

Don't be such a pussy.

You should go. They are your friend.

I've been in such situations before and, generally, I do pretty well.

@Aldo2 Nah, I don't have enough explosives yet.

@LukeAlmighty so you'd only go there, with your friend, to (hypothetically) kill people, possibly including your own friend?

You should respect your friends, not joke about killing them.

@Aldo2
I don't think you understand what the word "antifa" means, if you think, that any of them would consider me a friend.

But you're still funny.

@LukeAlmighty so you don't even consider your "retarded leftie friend" a friend because he hangs out with AntiFa people?

Or do you?

And many "Conservative" types continuously post about how weak and effeminate "AntiFa" types are to begin with. Now you're afraid of them? What gives?

At least be consistent...

Like I said, I've been in these scenarios before, and I've generally been able to hold my own.

I think you're afraid of having to actually interact with people irl who are different from your niche internet ideology.

Now, if it turned out that your friend betrayed you in order to lure you so you can get violently beaten to death by "AntiFa", then that'd make sense. But that is a big "if".

>And many "Conservative" types continuously post about how weak and effeminate "AntiFa" types are to begin with. Now you're afraid of them? What gives?
Most antifa types own guns, you know. Doesn't matter how weak and effeminate you are if you've got guns and numbers.

@Alex

Euro AntiFa don't have guns, because most Euro states don't allow people to own guns.

I'm pretty sure firearms are legal in the Czech republic. Either way, it's safe to assume they have access to weapons, and even if they don't, they're a group. Would you willingly go to meet a group of people who are known for advocating violent crime against you? It seems pretty stupid, regardless of how weak you happen to believe any individual member of that group happens to be.

@Alex

I don't care. I'm confident enough in the few irl friends I have left that they wouldn't take me to a place where I would be killed, even if we have our (sometimes heated) political differences, which was the whole original point.

Most of the time I'm able to talk myself out of problems, rather than shoot myself out.

Sometimes, friends end up in bad crowds. Sometimes they end up befriending bad people who they believe "aren't that bad". Then you go meet all their junkie buddies, and next thing you know, your house is getting robbed because the local methheads now know where you live. Issue isn't just what happens when your friend's there, but also painting a target on your back by making yourself known to dangerous people who hate you. It'd be like insisting an lgbt friend come to the local church meetup and saying "well yeah, sometimes they talk about how all of those dang queers are trying to convert their kids to devil worshippers, but they're not so bad once you get to know them!" Exposing yourself to people who hate you and openly fantasize about wanting to murder you is always a stupid idea.

@Alex

You're equating his friend's friends with junkie criminals.

For all you know, the "AntiFa" charge is most likely just being a standard liberal or some other online shit.

Luke tends to let online politics bleed into reality, which is not healthy. I would know.

It's not about "exposing" oneself. It's not like I'd expect him to go there with SS uniform and then try and propagandize "AntiFa" into becoming White Nationalists.

No. Go there, chill out, talk to them, and hang out. You know, like a fucking normal person at a bar.

If you can't control yourself around normal people irl enough to not come out as a Neezi, then that's a you problem, not a them problem.

Encouraging someone to go "chill out" with people he believes want to assault him is a stupid take.

@Alex

> He believes

Believing something to be true does not actually make it true. Again, this is a problem with online discourse bleeding into reality.

Like American "Conservatives" who think that if they go to an Arabic restaurant they'll be killed by Jihadi staff who are just waiting to do another 9/11.

@Aldo2 @Alex
> He believes
Ok, hyow about people I know for sure fantasize about my death, shout out for my death, spray on walls that they want my death and all around are proud of wanting me dead?

It is literally their MAIN POLITICAL DECLARATION.
