What?! Don't come here with your facts. He was as sweet and cute as a new born baby. Still wrong what was done to him, but yeah he was no angel.

Could say the same about Tony Timpa (who had no criminal record) who was killed in the same manner, but he was white so no outrage from the progressive left there, he was just another statistic to them.

That's what you get when you militarise your police. They are equal opportunity offenders when it comes to the people.

It’s always the ones that are incapable of creating anything themself. Similar to heirs who would rather live off an inheritance and family name than making something for themselves.

“I’ll never amount to anything but look at what my great great great great grandpappy did”

But at least those people are directly related. People like HunterNW are nowhere close to anyone who’s created anything worthwhile besides sharing a skin tone.

You mean much like all the black people that voted for Obama because he was black? How'd that work out for them, apart from a free phone.

Yeah the Democrats are still playing the identity politics game and keeping the black man subservient but they just keep on falling for the same lie over and over.

It's the height of irony to proclaim Orwell an ANTIFA member. Someone who spent much of his career warning about the totalitarian left.

When Orwell fled for his life from Spain he was not fleeing fascists but ANTIFA.

Ja Swaer.

Orwell served as a private, a corporal (cabo) and—when the informal command structure of the militia gave way to a conventional hierarchy in May 1937—as a lieutenant, on a provisional basis,[3] in Catalonia and Aragon from December 1936 until June 1937. In June 1937, the leftist political party with whose militia he served (the POUM, the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification, an anti-Stalinist communist party) was declared an illegal organisation, and Orwell was consequently forced to flee.

Who was in charge in Spain in 1937, who banned the left wing Marxist group, with which Orwell was a part of?

General Franco, the right wing fascist, nationalist, who recieved much help from Adolf Hitler.

Eish...

When George Orwell returned to Barcelona for the third time, on June 20th, 1937, he discovered that the Spanish secret police were after him. He had been forced to return to the front in order to have his discharge papers countersigned and, in his absence, the Communists had initiated a purge of their perceived enemies. Orwell was on the list. As he arrived in the lobby of the Hotel Continental, Eileen approached him calmly, placed her arm around his neck, and smiled for the benefit of anyone watching. Once they were close enough she hissed in his ear:

The raid on Eileen’s room came early in the hours of June 16th, the same day that the Communist-controlled Republican government declared the POUM [the Worker’s Party of Marxist Unification] an illegal organization. The NKVD and the Spanish secret police (the SIM) moved swiftly on their targets. The NKVD assassin Iosif Grigulevich led the hit squad. Nin, POUM’s leader, had previously served as Trotsky’s private secretary in Moscow and, even though the two had split over political differences, argued that Catalonia should have given Trotsky asylum.

The Servicio de Información Militar (Military Information Service) or SIM was the secret service of the Spanish Republican Armed Forces from August 1937 to the end of the Spanish Civil War.

And how is that any different from you pushing a narrative that being poor is the cause for violence? This is patent BS.

If we were talking about theft, maybe your argument would hold water. But we are talking about violence.

So, just so I don't miss-represent what you are saying... Your argument is that culture, environment, income levels and social class has zero effect on the propensity to commit violent crimes... but you contend that skin colour (regardless if circumstance) is a great predictor of whether someone will or will not commit a violent crime?

Have I got that right?

Close but no cigar:

In April, Orwell returned to Barcelona.[70] Wanting to be sent to the Madrid front, which meant he "must join the International Column", he approached a Communist friend attached to the Spanish Medical Aid and explained his case. "Although he did not think much of the Communists, Orwell was still ready to treat them as friends and allies. That would soon change."[71] This was the time of the Barcelona May Days and Orwell was caught up in the factional fighting. He spent much of the time on a roof, with a stack of novels, but encountered Jon Kimche from his Hampstead days during the stay. The subsequent campaign of lies and distortion carried out by the Communist press,[72] in which the POUM was accused of collaborating with the fascists, had a dramatic effect on Orwell. Instead of joining the International Brigades as he had intended, he decided to return to the Aragon Front. Once the May fighting was over, he was approached by a Communist friend who asked if he still intended transferring to the International Brigades. Orwell expressed surprise that they should still want him, because according to the Communist press he was a fascist.[73] "No one who was in Barcelona then, or for months later, will forget the horrible atmosphere produced by fear, suspicion, hatred, censored newspapers, crammed jails, enormous food queues and prowling gangs of armed men.

Fair enough, but ignoring the fact that he was part of a Marxist organisation to fight against a fascist organisation, does not make him Anti-Fascist and rather focusing on the infighting between communist factions, which his chosen team fell on the wrong side of another one, distracts from his Antifa credentials.

Why don't we just call him anti-totalitarian then?
