Federal police use tear gas and flash bangs to disperse some 200 protesters who threw eggs and rocks at ICE building in Portland, Oregon, just hours a

Amazing how many people see throwing eggs as crossing the line, but storming congress with the intent to murder congress members and murdering police in the process while trying to overturn a democratic election is somehow ok.

I don't support the violence but ICE is an overblown overbudgeted bureaucratic government agency that abuses people's constitutional rights.

Lol yup - It's patriotic to storm Congress but not a government agency that abuses our constitutional rights.

How strange...

What's "authoritarian" about protesting and fighting fascists?

Per se, nothing.

Antifa's violent tactics are another matter.

Can you point to any specific tactics of antifa that are more fascistic than say, the American Revolutionaries?

Both have attacked federal buildings. There’s no meaningful difference between them.

Now you've gone full circle from trying to differentiate between sides in WWII to not being able to differentiate them at all. You don't appear to have a meaningful point.

I have done nothing of the sort. You have become confused trying to follow this thread. It began with me refuting the completely absurd notion that Antifa and the Allies's WWII generation are morally equivalent.

That doesn't add any explanatory value to what you've said so far. If there is any "confusion", it's because you've so far failed to present anything specific enough to be coherent.

You've still failed to explain any meaningful distinction between antifa and America's WWII vets or explain how your tortured definition of fascist wouldn't include WW II vets (or basically anyone but pacifists). If anything, you have presented an argument that equates antifa and WWII vets.
