Student Website Asks: Could Antifa Do More Harm Than Good?
I'm going to go ahead and rush to judgment and say yes.
9.12.2017 News Mark Tapson
A Texas-based website called StudyBreaks.com, which features writing from "exceptional students" across the country, has posted an essay
by Eric McInnis of Arcadia University which poses the burning question,
"Could the Leftist Group Antifa Create More Harm Than Good?"
To reasonable people who pay attention to the news, it would seem patently obvious that the violent anarchists of Antifa have already created a lot of harm and zero good, but that's not how McInnis, and no doubt many other leftists, see it.
"The rise of nationalism and fascism in America has easily been one of the scariest movements within 2017," begins McInnis, who describes himself as "a proud liberal who leans into certain socialist ideals and policies."
He is concerned that since Donald Trump's "infamous election, far-right extremists have moved away from the dark caves where they belong and flaunt their blatant racism, antisemitism and Islamophobia for the world to see. It’s obvious at this point that America needs a hero, and one group named Antifa seems to have answered the call."
