How do we deal with our sides anger?

[dustyscamp]

So I was surfing through twitter and came across this lovely clip. We don't know how it all started of course, but the Right is already
mobilizing to use clashes like this against us.

Over the last few months our side has been attacking politicians, bystanders and alt right out of anger and its giving the Right ammo to twist public perception against us. They probably have a big list of assaults ready just to shove into our face to shut us up now. Just look at these

I don't believe all these assaults are the lefts fault some of these could be just anarchists trying to instigate things or Magats successfully goading people into attacking them. One thing is true though is we can't just let people throw stuff or punch other people because we hate what they believe. We need to fight these people by using words and legal means. Don't let them win by goading you into a fight. If you're at an event and see our side ready to pounce you need to step in and deescalate the situation. We are going to need to deal with more and more of these events in the coming months and for sure after the 2020 election.

1. I loved the tuba player playing "the elephant's walk" at that nazi parade last year

It made an angry crowd laugh and the nazis look like fools rather than what they wanted- to look intimidating and dangerous. (I am going to learn how to put links on, I promise.) Antifa just plays into their plans, we always have the numbers- just turn our backs on them.

3. You know that quote about repeating history that is not remembered?

Antifa is the equivalent of the riots outside the Democratic Convention in Chicago in 1968. Even with George Wallace bleeding off the votes of the most racist people in America, including the electoral votes of several Southern states, Nixon still won with the dog whistle of "Law and Order".

5. I witnessed this personally in the anarchist community in the 90's Pacific Northwest

I was more of a mutual aid community builder but many others were into "throw rocks at cops" mostly men,mostly young. When the cops came they didn't bust those guys(they were masked and ran away)The boom came down on the people just feeding the homeless and trying to organize people in the neighborhood. The rock-throwers basically called us complicit because we didn't believe in violence. Good point about the Chicago riots. Makes sense Nixon using that, just like Hitler and his brownshirts. Is history ever remembered?
