There are few more powerful examples of how disconnected from reality many liberals are than the fact that they are sympathetic to Antifa--it is "anti-fascist!"--and think that people who attend Turning Point USA events are the fascists.
No doubt, most liberals would say that the Antifa activists' tactics do go too far, but that they are fighting on the side of good, while people who want to meet with Riley Gaines or some other gender-critical conservative are bad people who are inflicting their cruel ideology on helpless children and oppressed people.
"I don't approve of violence, but..." is the constant refrain from the left and liberals.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Riley Gaines isn't a fascist. The exact opposite is the case, but the issue has been framed so absurdly in the Pravda Media ("Fiery but mostly peaceful") that the casual liberal assumes that any uncomfortable incidents are exceptions, not the rule.
Nope. Antifa are the fascists, despite their name (lefties always redefine words to confuse the bourgeoisie), and they are the nastiest people in the world. Brownshirts.
This is such an American video

The history of good-hearted liberals becoming useful idiots for radical causes is long and depressing. As long as there has been a modern left--an ideology that first burst onto the scene in the French Revolution--there has been a large fraction of liberals who find the utopianism romantic and inspiring.
No incrementalism. No balancing of costs and benefits. Revolution and rewriting human relations, and then everything is rainbows and unicorns. "Real communism" has never been tried! They meant well! No matter the reality, the illusion retains power and is reinforced by left-leaning media.
Utopian visions are the most dangerous thing in politics because they cloak raw power grabs as massive acts of compassion and goodwill. The Communist mirage has killed more people than anything else human beings has done, yet vast swathes of Westerners are still attracted to it. Kids come out of school mouthing idiocies like "real communism has never been tried," and go out into the world sympathetic to assholes like this:

It may not seem so to you at first glance, but alphabet ideology is a variation on communist utopianism. It is based on a degraded form of transhumanism--the idea that humanity and the world are infinitely malleable and that we can think reality into existence. If we can remake people's thoughts, through any means necessary, we remake reality.
That's why dissent is so toxic to the alphabet people. If reality depends on pure thought, then everybody must acknowledge the same thing, or their preferred reality is destroyed. This is the essence of critical theory, once you strip away all the "blah, blah, blah."
That's why "deadnaming" is literally genocide--you are denying the desired reality and KILLING it. Seriously, they believe that. It sounds absurd, but that is what they believe. There are hundreds of texts pushing this narrative, and it is the guiding principle of most education in the West today.

Utopian ideologies are necessarily totalitarian, and totalitarian ideologies are necessarily violent. Sometimes the violence doesn't escalate to the Gulags and the Killing Fields, but as often as not, it does. You don't kill off over 100 million people without becoming comfortable with violence and mass slaughter.

No doubt, many good-hearted liberals would say something like, "Well, that's not what THESE people want." They just want a bit more kindness. Or the ubiquitous "I don't approve of violence..." nostrum that still sides with the bad guys.
This is their version of kindness, and you will find something similar in EVERY alphabet ideologist. By that I don't mean every person who happens to fall in one of the alphabet groups--there are lots of gays, lesbians, bi-, and gender-dysphoric people who are not committed to alphabet ideology and who simply want to live their best lives without imposing their will on others--but the people who want to remake the world by forcing others to bend to their will are dangerous, violent, and Maoist.
Today ANTIFA militants that used threats and intimidation against elderly people found @KatieDaviscourt and I out while we were undercover.

They sprinted at Katie and I pepper sprayed the big one.
They ran at me and I sprayed them both.

Unfortunately, Pravda Media barely covers, and usually covers for, the Brownshirts. Most liberals, we must admit, really have no idea just how cruel and violent the alphabet/neo-communist movement is. They think that Seattle's "Summer of Love" that was quickly revealed to be a creation of hell on Earth, was an aberration, not the inevitable consequence of the ideology itself.
Violence--being vile--IS the ideology. If you read up on Antifa and all the leftist movements, they and their heroes fund these tactics we see aren't aberrations--they are the strategy, laid out in black and white. Books are written on how to do this:

Left-wing oligarchs, USAID, and a vast number of liberal nonprofits pour money into the movement to create exactly this group of people. The Antifa people are often bussed to perform these acts using vast sums of money, and you can contribute to these nonprofits on platforms like ActBlue. Many people do, assuming that they are being "kind" when they do so.
How many ordinary liberals will see these videos, be shown that these tactics are integral to the movement and not the actions of a few zealots working alone?
Almost none. They are fed an alternate reality by what Ed calls "Regime Media" and I call "Pravda Media." They are shown an alternate world--a Truman Show--in which the people who scream at black policemen and disabled women that they should die--that they have no right to live--are the "good guys" and a woman who just wants her granddaughter not to be beaten up by a man cosplaying a girl.
Reality is inverted. It's not that these liberals are stupid--most of them are definitely not stupid. It's that they buy into the illusions created for them by a media that picks and chooses what they see and tells them how to interpret it.
Those people burning up the University of Washington? Those are the GOOD GUYS!
Until we erode their trust in Pravda Media entirely and get them to face reality by shoving it in their face they will never believe us. They don't see the screaming Black Bloc Antifa people at work. They are fed the narrative that everybody who went to llisten to Riley Gaines is a Nazi.
That's why I am not ANGRY at ordinary liberals. Their failure is one of discernment. They still trust the Narrative. We owe it to them to help them see the light.
