In my opinion, Antifa is just as bad as any other hate-group on the right if not worse because they carry out violent acts and the media just praises it. Attacks with bike locks, burning cars, throwing homemade granades into crowds. Yes, they are terrible.

I can sort of understand the wanting to fight racism/fascism etc. But I do not agree that just having a racist idea and presenting it is warranting a beat down. By attacking them you will make the public majority sympathetic towards them. In addition, you will not change their views, only enforce them and make them feel rightous. They will flock in Eco-Chambers and their racist views will turn to violence as they fuel each other.

Only by entering civil discourse can you change their views. They will not change their minds unless someones is willing to at least listen to what they say and being open to even hateful views, since they obviously feel like they have good reason for having them.

Just my two cents
