It can never happen here, we tell ourselves. It is already happening here, antifa believes.
Would you bet your life on being right about that? From antifa POV, we are betting people’s lives on that, and it’s s foolish bet. Considering that people’s lives are -already- being taken.
What you consider to be just another opinion in the marketplace of ideas, they contend is an act of violence.
(And obviously you’re not expected to agree, and then thinking so doesn’t make it so- it just helps to understand where they’re coming from- a place that sees something like a nazi parade as an overt threat and act of intimidation)
