Had to look it up.

A bunch of skinhead brats living in their moms basements looking to beat the crap out of anyone who doesnt follow their point of view. They believe their tactics are for the greater good, but have pretty much ran out of nazies to chase after so take it out on anyone else. They will beat you up using mace, batons, boots, brass knuckles and anything else at their disposal. They are the fascist anti fascists. Remember they are cowards, will gang up on you, and only attack in groups. See a lone antifa and they will run screaming.

Frownland 06-14-2017 11:30 AM

Skinhead isn't really appropriate there (though I get it because they're basically the left's KKK), but that pretty much sums up the college aged faction of Antifa, ja.

OccultHawk 06-14-2017 11:41 AM

The bigger they get the more weaksauce they'll be watered down with. They could also develop a frightening radical core. Theatrics work to a point but pretty soon you have put up or shut up. Those types don't like me in real life.

As far as giving one side a bad image through association, they're twins.

OccultHawk 06-14-2017 11:54 AM

Yeah. I get your point. I think you probably get mine, too. I'm just pointing out that the Klan was actually some really scary **** back in the day. The Klan were murdering people and burning houses down. So far Antifa kicks over garbage cans and vandalizes bus stops. And yeah they sort of ****ed up some lectures.

To those who have not been used to it, that's ****ing hot. We normally piss ourselves if it goes over 25.

Frownland 06-14-2017 12:19 PM

I had no idea that England was so frigid.

The Batlord 06-14-2017 12:22 PM

Global warming is good for something I guess.

I realize he didn't write the words. He just delivered them in a decent, less pompous manner than usual, way. I mean the bar is set pretty low with the dude. If he can every now and then seem a bit human, it's a good thing.

OccultHawk 06-14-2017 01:27 PM

No, it isn't. Trump relying on some kind of tragedy or war or whatever gets Americans stirred up, sentimental, and patriotic is predictable and scary. **** him no matter what.

Antifa in the states is way different to their counterparts in Europe that were beating the **** out of cops.

Honestly my first thought when the news broke was not concern for the congressmen but concern for what congress or the executive branch might enact in response to it.

djchameleon 06-14-2017 01:39 PM

Gunman kills 3, then self at San Francisco UPS facility, police say - CNN.com

UPS guy decides to go postal. He was probably sick of having to wait for packages from his own company and he works there.

Frownland 06-14-2017 01:41 PM

So that's where Ki's been.

Dude, 30 degrees is hot. And sometimes it goes up to 33. How could anybody possibly enjoy 100 days of that? I'm glad I don't live in a hot country.

Frownland 06-14-2017 02:25 PM

That's jacket weather here.

30 degrees Celsius is -1 degree Farenheit.

You're about to, though.

Looks like we'll escape the worst: 23 at the top for us. Still pretty damn hot for rainy old Ireland. These cats may have to exchange the umbrella for a parasol soon.

You're thinking of Kelvin dude.

Silly Europeans. So ignorant of how the rest of the world works.

OccultHawk 06-14-2017 02:39 PM

Why don't you use regular thermometers so you know it's supposed to be 68 degrees?

Either way 86 degrees Fahrenheit is 30 Celsius. You can check yourself.

What is the big whoop about 30C/86F? Wait till 35.5556 or 41.1111 C before you start complaining.

Your conversion is wrong, dude, it's that simple.

The google servers are located in America, so it's probably you furriners that have a broken google.

30 C is small beans, they don't call it a heat wave unless it is over 32.2222 C for at least three days in a row. 31.6667 C doesn't count!

In England they bloody do.

And Ireland. Oh and Scotland.

Probably Canada as well.
