Until now, most stories about the anti-fa have been careful to show the masked ones in a favorable light. After all, they're anti-Trump, aren't they? ;)

But...When you look at recent news in Europe and you start to see Leftists starting to distance themselves from the anti-fa, because of extreme violence, news stories such as this one are becoming more common:

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-berkeley-protests-20170827-story.html

The piece in WaPo was even more critical of anti-fa.

Protest and counter-protest all you want, as long as you keep it peaceful. What is becoming extremely clear, is that anti-fa has every intention of being violent, no matter how peaceful their opponents. As one counter-protester said in Berkeley, anti-fa is turning into the best recruiting tool the far Right has.

Maybe the media is starting to be a bit afraid of the monster it helped create.

What, our middle aged white liberal culture and its ineffectual dip**** rage against phantom evil forces they've never actually seen, hasn't found a solid political ally in angry masked young men who just want to go out with baseball bats and break stuff?

These people really do need religion, I believe that. Without it, the meaning of their lives devolves to this imbecilic stuff about fighting Nazis. That's literally the cutting edge of our pop culture. The fight against the imminent threat of Nazis. (And, of course, white supremacists.)
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

I think you're onto something there Horace. All the same though it seems to me that elements of the left leaning side of the population struggle with the past and, their couterparts on the right struggle with the future.

Or maybe.

The left wants to create the past.

The right wants to create the future.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy
