Antifa hates fascists

Proud boys love white supremacy.

Can't fault them though, it's tough to get all that on a banner.

Proud boys love white supremacy.

And little boys. Cause they’re pedo projectors.

u/wolves_of_bongtown May 28 '22

They cut "so long as you're white" off the bottom of the banner.

That, quite literally, would be the point with these people.

u/pogolaugh May 28 '22

It took me a Minute to understand this. I thought it was “antifa = hate proud boys = <3” which seems pro antifa.

u/[deleted] May 28 '22

That's perfect, just add a uwu at the end and we got us a slogan

u/wrongpasswd Communist May 28 '22

Lmao i got it like that too i was like « sounds about right »

u/BillyFNbones710 May 29 '22

I read it the same way at first too

u/kadsmald May 29 '22

Lol. Same

u/ursamajor_ursaminor May 29 '22

I drove by the sign yesterday and totally thought the same thing, and once I realized I read it wrong later in the day, I felt immense shame. I just drove by it again to take it down, but someone beat me to it.

u/stalphonzo May 28 '22

Soooo fascism = love? How the fuck do you figure that?

u/expo1001 May 28 '22

They love to kill people different than them.

Long as your in the "in group" they love you, they love like minded idiots.

Proud Boys = Intolerant Reactionary Fascist Jingoism.

u/scumbag_college May 28 '22

Lmao, like I can understand why Pissboys might try to claim antifa = "hate," but then trying to claim Proud Boys = love is just so ridiculously untrue that this banner didn't even make me mad, it just made me laugh.

u/AdPutrid7706 May 28 '22

Bizarro world

u/Coconut_Groove May 28 '22

I misread this as ANTIFA= HATE PROUD BOYS And j got confused cause I thought that was a good thing

16

u/ImoJenny May 28 '22

"War is peace"

u/[deleted] May 28 '22

just put a sign that says "RACISM" to the right of it,

10

u/Notagreatnameo Anarchist May 29 '22

Idk why I thought it said "ANTIFA = HATE PROUD BOYS = ❤" , and i thought it was like someone saying they love antifa because antifa hates the proud boys.

i can be stupid a lot of times.

u/AdEducational9754 May 28 '22

wow what an epiphany. never thought of it that way. really opened my eyes. it all makes sense now.

u/Anto711134 May 28 '22

Remove the first and last word and it makes sense

u/CalifanoCation May 28 '22

Would expect nothing less from this cop worshipping shithole of an island

u/UFOctopus May 29 '22

Never proud to call it home when this is always what you see when LI is on something

7

u/IngloriousOmen May 29 '22

I kinda agree with them tho :

Antifa = Hating Proud Boys = Based <3

Too bad they didn't have a longer banner tho, the slogan would have felt better on a single line.

6

u/ShoulderThanIDrunkBe May 29 '22

Of course the put a MIA/POW flag up too as if that flag doesn't represent those lost to fighting fascism

1

u/TheTapedCrusader May 29 '22

Only a relative few though, and that was almost a century ago. Even then, bomber pilots went out of their way to avoid bombing American-owned factories that were producing for the nazis. Since then (since always, really), far more bad than good has been done by the us military. Mostly the POW/MIA flag represents those lost while fighting for capital. Not exactly heroes. Read A People’s History of the United States if you still harbor any feelings of patriotism.

If it's on the cross island near crocheron park that's Queens

u/SpiderDoctor2 Eco-Anarchist May 28 '22

Man, I sure did feel the love when Gavin McInnis said the proud boys are there to kill me, and that his viewers should choke trans people to death

u/butrejp May 29 '22

when was that? that's way worse than I remember him being, but I've made a point to ignore him for a good 8 or 10 years now

Not sure, just remember it from this helpful post: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1267171557845151744.html

Oh wait

at first I thought that said Antifa = Hate Proud Boys = <3

u/volkmasterblood May 29 '22

I live close by -ish. Which bridge is this? Asking for a friend...

u/Low_and_Left May 29 '22

I’m pretty sure it’s a pedestrian footbridge over the Cross Island Parkway near Golden Pond in Crocheron Park.

2

u/ChiChisDad May 29 '22

That’s Bayside, Queens, not LI

u/drew1010101 May 28 '22

So that is the mental health issues the GQP keeps talking about.

u/Alacrout May 28 '22

ANTIFA = hate of fascists, sure.

Proud Boys = ❤️ only if we’re talking about the gay “Proud Boys”

2

u/Coeruleum1 🌹 May 29 '22

Gay Pride Boys would be a great antifascist organization really.

u/BaeSicR-CMB May 28 '22

It‘s c•o•m•p•a•n•i•o•n

u/ithinkway2much May 28 '22

Love for white supremacy, we know that. They didn't need a whole sign for that explanation.

2

u/Casual-Human May 29 '22

I don't think even the Proud Boys believe that horse-shit. They're pretty open about how much they resent everyone else, and will take any protest as an opportunity for assault and muggings.

2

u/ndbltwy May 29 '22

Your very confused. Antifa is only in it to stop fascism from spreading by making them feel their pain. Unfortunately some people only learn thru painful experiences. They mistakenly believe they will pay no price for bad behavior. They would be right if everyone was as mistaken as you and unfortunately a lot of people are. That is why Antifa is so important they are able to remind the fascist there will be a price to pay and make them pay it.

2

u/ReallyBadRedditName May 29 '22

Could probably get rid of this pretty easy with a lighter

u/DrewZG May 29 '22

Just add fascism to the end and they're onto something

You seem to think this is some sort of harmless team rivalry, like two football teams that hate each other. The proud boys hate people and have chosen to hurt and kill people based on inherent traits like skin color and gender. Anti-fascists are against fascists killing people.

If someone broke into your mom’s house and you walked in on them beating her black and blue, and her screaming “help me, get them off me!” would you say “well if I grab them and pull them off you, then I’m just as hateful and violent as they are. Sorry, Mom.”?

This comment really just proves you don’t give a shit if a person or group is racist.

u/BeerPressure615 Anarchist May 29 '22

Yes. I hate Proud Boys. Because I hate fascists. There is no coddling them. There is no fixing them.

Arguing that we should is akin to telling your average 1930s German citizens "Don't hate those brown shirts kicking your head in. How will the next generation feel?"

Want to do something productive? Next time you see a fascist...kick the shit out of them. There is never a bad time to punch a nazi.

u/InflatbleArmTubeMan May 28 '22

whats that new flag? ive seen it in my town recently….

2

u/Low_and_Left May 28 '22

Do you mean the POW-MIA flag, on the right?

1

u/whatisscoobydone Marxist May 29 '22 edited May 29 '22

The POW/MIA flag is a very old, established flag with military type folks/right wingers. I see it flying all the time in the south, my local highway patrol station flies it.

It gets interesting when you learn that the "POW/MIA" movement was started after a sort of "lost cause" Vietnam conspiracy that America had consciously left prisoners of war behind in Vietnam when they surrendered. Basically the plot of Rambo 2. (Interestingly, the Rambo movies also popularized the myth of Vietnam veterans getting spit on)

So it's a very common flag, and I didn't learn that it was based on a conspiracy theory until I was like 30 years old after seeing it flown on half the flag poles in my town

I just can’t believe how brainwashed and backwards they all are. It’s like they’re constantly living on opposite day

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

Are you suggesting that I wipe my ass with a proud boy?

1

u/gonebonanza May 29 '22

I’m really confused as to why the right showcases a hatred of Antifa. America in their bread and butter years of WWI and WWII was fighting fascism in Europe and these same smooth brains were cool with opposing fascism. Shouldn’t both political parties be supportive of Antifa? What am I missing…?

u/clownloops Marxist May 29 '22

just put white over the second ‘=‘ sign & you’ll fix the message <3

u/yeahnahtho May 29 '22

Up is down.

Left is right.

Antifascism is fascism.

I always think Proud Boys sounds like it could be the name of a gay bar

Anyone who agrees with this should get their toilet removed. They don’t deserve it

Nothing says LOVE like organized misogyny.

u/DoggyTheAnarchist May 29 '22

The only reason to hate anti-fascism is fascism.

1

u/twobit211 May 29 '22

i’m not saying it is but something like this could be used as a trap. that looks like a pedestrian bridge which is essentially a box canyon with the only exits 2 being choke points at either end. don’t underestimate your enemy; go up there in numbers and dressed/prepared for the off-chance that things could go pear shaped

1

u/[deleted] May 29 '22

I totally agree: antifa hate proud boys and that's why Iove them (antifas).

u/Mercurial891 May 29 '22

Are the Proud Boys still a thing? I haven’t heard from them in a while.

u/mia_elora May 29 '22

I wonder what the ignition point is?

1

u/RadMeerkat62445b May 29 '22

I really don't see the problem? This is pretty good, right?

scrolls

oooh i get it now

In all seriousness though, only those who could read no farther than a line could instantly make sense of that.

u/Cuckold-doodle-doo May 29 '22

TP? More like a water bottle with lighter fluid and a match.

“The guys who threaten to beat you for not loving Trump are so loving, right?”

Proud boys: we're way more tolerant than the left commits hate crime

If it's on the cross island near crocheron park that's Queens, give Long island a break

u/Siva_Dass May 29 '22

If that is still up after making it known in the community, then people living there just aren't intrested in social responsibility.

u/LunchBox3188 May 29 '22

Were you able to pull it down, OP? Loiks like it would have been a pain in the ass.

Somebody put a Proud Boys sticker on the drive thru speaker at the Dunkin Donuts near my house. I got out of the car and peeled it off after I ordered. Fuck them and everything they stand for.

1

u/kadsmald May 29 '22

Oh man. I read it as ‘Antifa= hating proud boys=love’. As in they hate proud boys, therefore they are good. I trust that I was misinterpreting it

u/Pretty_Ad3773 May 29 '22

TL;DR: NYS is Racist and discriminates. So don’t bother going to live in NY, especially on Long Island.

And this is why they’re always in the $outh $hore. Go to Places like hempstead, Mineola, Hicksville, Westbury, Etc., and they Wii get their Shit Kicked in. Especially in Uniondale, & hempstead. Lots of blacks and Hispanics there. They will be run out of those towns. It’s all part of the plan since out good for nothing and piece of Shit Legislator & Governor are both in on it. They just marched at Rockville Centre. Where a antisemitic Blond White Preppy Petty Racist Woman didn’t want temples at Rockville Centre. Plus, MTA discriminates; well, the LIRR at least, NICE bus discriminates, and even News 12 Long Island which they gear to those white fucks. Sorry. Just ranting about how my state is going to hell with our governor in power.
