Right-wing "Death Squads," Left-wing "Peace Corps"

Something I— no, everyone with a brain should've taken notice to (especially) since the 2016 Presidential Election is this intense and deliberate propagandizing of evil in the form of "the ends justify the means." The most prevalent being Antifa, and how they're "necessary" because of "white supremacists, racists and the 'current fascist regime that sits in the White House.'"

I think one of the first things you tend to notice in life is that when someone is doing something wrong, like let's say... robbing a bank? Yeah, let's go with that. What do said bank robbers do? Well, beside robbing a bank, of course...! Yes, they wear masks. They conceal their identity, because obviously they don't want people knowing who they are since the consequence is prison.

So when a group wears all black, conceals their identity and riots against individuals (who have done none of the aforementioned) for the sole reason of being labeled "white suprematist", or "racist", or "fascist", or— oh, you get it, the list goes on and on... it would start to beg the question for those who are interested in the truth: Are these Antifa guys the good guys? Or, as logic would suggest, are they the bad guys?

Now, the right answer would come as a result of analyzing the entire case. Taking into account what those on the receiving end of a... hmmm, I don't know, let's say a bike lock... if they had done something to deserve being attacked in such a brutal manner. Looking at the rhetoric that said individuals being "protested" by Antifa, and whether or not it's justified. As a rational individual, those are the steps you'd take.

If you're CNN's Don Lemon, you might think that, as I said at the start, "the ends justify the means," because President Donald Trump is a fascist, or a threat to society... it's usually a pick'em when it comes to the reasoning of why Trump needs to be "stopped." You get this subliminal message from the Left that Antifa isn't some domestic terrorist organization who are hellbent on destabilization of opposing opinions (and outright oppression of such), but that they're some kind of "Peace Corps" doing what's "right, and necessary."

The flip side of rationalizing and bending over backward in an effort to ascend Antifa to Sainthood is the demonization of police, of Americans who don't have the Left's views, and (basically) any Right-wing person/group who try to defend the Constitution and Western culture. It's seemingly a bastardization of America to tear it down. And of course, the group who's focused on more than any other (by my recollection) is the Proud Boys.

If you're unaware of who they are, or what the Proud Boys stand for... they're a "Pro-Western fraternal organization" that defend the idea of the Western world and its culture. They were founded by the political commentator Gavin McInnes, and have been a major force in refusing to kneel and allow Antifa to attack innocent protestors at freedom based rallies (and so on).

The Southern Poverty Law Center labeled the Proud Boys an "extremist group/hate organization" despite their numerous disavowings of bigotry and hate, Al Jazeera has framed them with the Alt-Right and white suprematists when the ranks of the group are in fact quite diverse, and Twitter "permanently suspended" (ban, come on now, Twitter ban) both the Proud Boys and McInnes due to "violating Twitter's policy against violent extremist groups"; all making quite the contrast in comparison to the Left's precious Peace Corps. And it would appear purposely done in such a manner; a smear campaign if you will; a way of trying to turn the public via a lens made to make the Proud Boys (and any person/group who doesn't line up with the Left) look like what Antifa really are.

With such a bias, and the media being complicit in propagandizing the two groups, it wouldn't be a stretch (for someone who doesn't dig for facts) to believe there was a "Death Squad" that marches to the orders of the "commanding fascist regime" to cleanse the streets of minorities.

And that is where things get dangerous, because like the "punch a Nazi in the face" movement, if you build up a group who's nothing of the sorts a Death Squad as a Death Squad, you as a result glorify people to stand against them no matter the cost— you justify people being bashed in the head with bike locks— you encourage riots... "the ends justify the means" becomes child's play when all is said and done if the intense and irrational polarization continues as its going.
