Everything ANTIFA thread

[rhino]

Bill Tonso, professor emeritus of sociology. I don't know if I have good contact information any more, but Snorko's dad worked with him, and Snorko knows him and may have better current information.

Sadly, looks like he passed away in 2016: William Tonso Obituary - Evansville, IN | Courier Press

He was a prolific writer, having published several books and magazine articles, especially on the gun issue. He was a proud member of the NRA.

Truly sad news. He was a truly remarkable man in numerous ways.

It's summer and it's Indianapolis. How hard will ANTIFA be recruiting at Gen Con in August?

 

[KLB]

Recruiting means work. They'll probably stick to online stuff so they can stay home.

But so many of their potential targets for recruitment will be in one place at one time. Probably not a few ANTIFA participants will be attending as well.

Possibly. There was a time when I went to GenCon, when it was in the other state. I know my friends and I would not have been open to a bunch of idiots like those guys though. We were generally all way too smart to do dumb like that.

I could see them recruiting out of towners, but the Great State of Indiana has some laid-back peeps. I am curious as to what put Gen Con on your ANTIFA radar, or vice versa.

Other than their inviting Anita Sarkeesian as a 'guest of honor'?

I attended in 1980 when it was still in Geneva!

I was watching a Joe Rogan video with Steven Crowder & Not Gay Jared about when the Jared infiltrated an antifa chapter. It got me to thinking about the kind of people who are drawn to antifa and would be receptive to joining. Then I realized that my mental image and concept matched a significant segment of the diverse group of people who will attend Gen Con. To clarify, I'm neither stating nor implying that everyone who attends Gen Con is an antifa type, but I am saying that a a noticeable portion of them are.

And there's the fact that the people who run Gen Con now are lefty SJW types.

That is sad.

Libertarian, yes. Anti fascist fascist, no.

Your adult children bear no resemblance to the people to whom I refer!

The one I have met definitely does not!

OK, I asked my son (22, gamer, engineering major) who is Anita Sarkeesian? He said he knew of her and found her annoying.

 

[riverman67]

I will ask my kids 3 of them
24 28 33
Hang on

They aren't answering ....typical
Two of them are at work
This is all I could find

Who is Anita Sarkeesian?

This reaction is actually quite heartening, as it proves conclusively how completely irrelevant she is.
Suffice it to say, she's a whiny self important SJW type that has made a career out of being a professional victim.

And there's the fact that the people who run Gen Con now are lefty SJW types.

Hits the nail on the head quite succinctly.

 

[Trigger Time]

Yeah I've never heard of her

Thank you for posting these

Briefly, Gamergate piqued my curiosity due to a lot of posting on INGO about/mentioning it. A bit of research led me to conclude

But I've avoided belaboring the opinion as didn't want to trigger anyone/anything. It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in my perception

But he’s a effing white male!
