Eh, I'm getting increasingly sympathetic to the argument that when the nazi flags come out, that's no longer a peaceful protest, regardless of if they're actually actively attacking some one. Unless they're being burnt, I guess. When your shtick has genocide as a core goal I don't think you get to claim you're doing anything but trying to drum up enough support to start getting away with murder. Which ain't peaceful unless your head's not screwed on straight.

Could also say that, whatever argument is to be made for calling people out on violence, if there's Nazis involved you shut up until there isn't any more. Looking increasingly like this shit is base moral cowardice in the face of something that is real (they) damn (are) straightforward (Nazis), not some kind of high ideal. Some things you don't tolerate, and the fascist genocidal shits are on the shortlist and pretty high up. Especially so far as the U.S. goes. Going by our history we have an answer for what is warranted to put a stop to that breed of fascism, what tilts the scales of relative inequity close to even, and that answer was nuclear fire. So if we ain't hit that yet, there's still a good long way to go.

... amusing thing is there's apparently a (rare, possibly now extinct?) species of fish that looks rather a lot like it has fur. Can also run into a few different species that get infected with a particular sort of mold that leaves them what amounts to furry. No fish have fur, but some fish are furry.

E: Or, in other words, always be cautious making generalisations about animals. Nature is a tricksie little jackass that likes screwing with people, and likes to always have that one gods only know what the hell one hiding in some mountain valley that just like, "Yeah, no, class commonalities can bite my scaly mammal ass."

Last I checked there's a non-negligible amount that are, actually. Books are fragile as all hell, stone tablets/engravings weather if they're not in very lucky circumstances. As I recall, at least some of the memory storage we're using these days are more robust than either of those, or able to subsistent (in part, if nothing else) in more environments.

I'd just like to interject that Fields hasn't been charged with terrorism, and I sort of feel it's jumping the gun to say it was a terrorist attack. The guy's a diagnosed schizophrenic, and until his trial he isn't going to get any chance to defend himself.

I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy; I personally feel he's a murderous asshat. But, until there's been an investigation and a trial, nobody'll know for sure what actually happened.

Yeah, see, while if you're asking my legal opinion I'd agree with that, in context of our POTUS? Nah man. This is the exact sort of thing he shat on the mayor of goddamn london for, and if he waited for an investigation on that one it's news to me. The definition of terrorist I'm rolling with right now is the same one he used, and probably being used more cautiously.

Regardless of what the legal definition is, or what the man is eventually convicted of, so far as our president is concerned, the POTUS is acting to downplay the actions of a group that had one of their members commit what he has called, and stridently, terrorist attacks. So I'll keep calling them that, because that's the context our nazi sympathizing craven shit in chief is working from.

E: Incidentally, my still living grandfather may happen to be a WW2 vet, and for all his faults one of the people in my life that I respect the most, and who has done the most for me. This is shitting on him, it's shitting on his fellow military that killed and died to stop that ideology, and it's shitting on this country and every other one, including the one we fucking nuked, that were fucked by the sort people folks in that rally were marching with. There may be some vitriol at this point.

Maybe? Good luck, though. Antifa's not a single group, or organized, or anything like that. Word's just shorthand for anti-fascist.

It's a clear shot of an antifa flag, raised, right beside the county one, still flying. Fluttery blue eyesore for something on the ground and on fire.

... and for those without a cursory understanding of the ancient Egyptian pantheon, Isis is one of its major divinities. ISIS is the present day murder people thing.
