Oh my sides.
The aryan nation, proud boys, and most other right wing organizations are either directly or indirectly violent political extremist group. From imprisoned white supremacists all the way to president trumps inner circle. Violence follows American conservatives.

Antifa, short for "anti-fascist," is an ideology rather than a formal organization. It's a loose collection of individuals who oppose fascism and other forms of extreme right-wing ideology. While some practitioners of Antifa ideology have engaged in violent actions, it's important to note that violence isn't inherent to the ideology itself. Antifa's core principles center around confronting and resisting fascism through direct action, such as protests and counter-protests, as well as community organizing and education.
Antifascists that perform acts of violence do so autonomously. Aryan nation members that commit violent acts do so either at the order of a senior member or will face violent punishment from their seniors for unsanctioned violence because such orgs maintain their power through wanton violence.
I am always amused when people project their worldview upon others who actively practice sophisticated direct action instead of vague gestures at conservative political movements.
TLDR- you don’t understand what antifa is and have shown your hand - revealing the fact you uncritically and exclusively consume conservative propaganda.
You aren’t running a blocker?
You know how to get this information while answering yes to the above two questions?
Weird.
Jury awarded 1/6 after litigation.
Ford payed double to get rid of this nuisance.
$30 million in 1990 was fuck you money. It’s still enough to comfortably retire on for a high school aged person.
Is this a serious comment or flame bait?
May I introduce you to the legions of anti democratic groups vying to do just so?

Is the whistle you neglected to source.
Did you get taught how credit applications work, how banks determine credit worthiness, how to depreciate an asset, how to calculate lifetime cost of a vehicle, how to draft a bill of materials for a project? All things everyone should be able to do. It’s the lack of these skills and the cost of living crisis that creates ripe markets of ignorant people to exploit for profit through their financial mistakes.
Your school offers home ec? Mine dropped it forever ago. Only the trade school kids learned anything more hands on AP chem.
Cars are more reliable sure, but less maintainable in a home garage. I didn’t bring them up because the best argument I have for cars is repealing cafe and taxing cars annually with a multiplier for wheelbase squared x miles.
Schools cost money to run but taxpayers balk and cry over every cent increase. There are crumbling schools with toxic air and water that lack adequate HVAC paying their teachers unlivable salaries. This is the result of neglect to preserve and invest which is a condemnation of those who allowed such neglect on their watch when they should have championed such plights before they reached these new heights.
Teachers can literally be miracle workers but that makes no difference if the communities their students return to undervalue education or lack the resources to foster healthy environments to grow and learn in. Broken communities create broken school districts.
This goes back to the point I make in another comment on this page. We must invest in underperforming communities to bring them up to the average if we want to see improvements. This necessarily requires such difficult conversations like the poor Hispanic or black majority cities getting some of the education tax from rich white suburbs or something to the same effect.

The same holds for suspensions.

Find and exploit their weakness publicly thereby robbing them of their power.

>We should at least give it a go for seven more generations.
Are you being sarcastic? Underclasses and the declining classes are both on the verge of revolt. Seven generations of status quo won’t occur. That’s a fantasy of someone who does not understand the problems severity.

I do not think you understand conflict resolution and should probably study it a bit before speaking so authoritatively. The basic gist of it is to identify the root cause of contention and identify the best practical solution. Most people bad at managing conflict fail to correctly identify the cause and empathize with the opposing view. Keep in mind - you do not need to agree with a perspective to understand it and failure to understand the other party is a responsibility shared jointly regardless of righteousness.
Basic life skills are not taught so it’s up to the individual if their family fails. Importantly, it is unreasonable to expect someone to teach another how to do something they don’t know how to do.
I’m talking about stuff like navigating health insurance, paying taxes, budgeting, managing credit, home maintenance, vehicle care. Mistakes in any one of these domains can have devastating consequences that profoundly change one’s life. Simple things like single payer health care (only complex because of greedy people demanding a tax for the privilege the laws wrote grant them), personal budgeting education, and teaching basic home improvement skills will markedly improve many people’s lives.
We could also discuss more difficult topics like the complete lack of a meaningful social safety net, and the rippling consequences of systemic injustice but that’s less on topic and more likely to get me flamed or trolled.
