Know your enemy: Antifa

For all intents and purposes, outwardly Dartmouth Professor Mark Bray looks like any respectable person of society. However, he is the man behind Antifa.

The ability to exert influence over the populace is among the most critical of all requirements of an underground organization. A predominant function of underground organizations is to determine the best methods to exert influence over their selected target audiences. In the nascent stages of a revolution, this is done almost exclusively through clandestine means, using pre-existing social networks. For Mark Bray, those social networks are the universities and social media.

Antifa is not just any movement as they would have you believe. They are a violent revolutionary militant group made up of mostly young anarchists, socialists, communists and social democrats who want to overthrow our government and completely change our way of life. Antifa’s principal tactic is direct action, both online and in real life. They engage in protest tactics, which include online activism, destruction of property, physical violence, coercion, and harassment against those whom they identify as “fascist”, “racist”, or who don’t subscribe to the same ideology as they do. Their methods are no different than past communists/ anarchists such as Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Leon Trotsky.

Most of their followers are young and there is a reason for this. Younger people are more vulnerable to conformity pressure than older people. First, younger people lack life experiences and also less experienced in processing messages and resisting unwanted influence. Secondly, younger people are developmentally at a stage where peer opinions and questions of self-identity are of paramount importance. The social identity categories that are typically most relevant for political conflicts are race, ethnicity, tribe, religion, social class, gender, ideology, political loyalty, and regional affiliation. Social identity has a number of implications when it comes to influence, some obvious and some less so. Antifa uses this to their advantage to manipulate them to meet Antifa’s objectives. At this stage, Antifa is not a huge danger, their numbers are small, but if allowed to grow and not countered now will be a larger problem in the future.

"Know your enemy" because if you love this country, believe me, Mark Bray intends on destroying it and he doesn't care how violent his followers get.

I've attached a link to "The Internet Archive" where you can read a PDF of Mark Bray's book "Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook". In it, he states their purpose.

Well said as always from my friend and mentor John D Hurth

Yes, the Gillette commercial is dumb. You know what is also dumb? Equating facial hair as a symbol of being a man. A beard doesn’t make someone a man, your actions do.

Look I currently sport a beard. But for most of my life in military service, I didn’t. Let’s face it, the current beard fad was pretty much reborn from US Army SF guys going into Afghanistan and killing a bunch of terrorists. We wore beards for a reason, to help us blend into the environment and to build rapport with a different culture. Now, over the years it has become a fashion trend for some who never did bad shit to bad people. Hipsters are about as un-masculine as someone can be and many of them wear beards. Just because someone doesn’t have a beard doesn’t mean they aren’t a man.

Male traits are a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles associated with boys and men. Traditional masculine traits include strength, courage, independence, aggression, and assertiveness. What is considered masculine also varies across different cultures and historical periods. None of those things are destructive to society. People who have no values or morals destroy a society, and what’s moral is subjective depending on the norms and values of a society.

Today, this whole male toxicity thing that is being played out in society is a bunch of garbage so let's just call it for what it is, dumb. I mean couldn’t men easily turn the tables and say that there is a growing trend of female toxicity? Sure could, there's plenty of historical evidence there as well. Hell, males and females have been toxic to each other since the beginning of time. No matter the sex, some people are toxic and will try to hold power over or destroy others. Power is what people want, and power corrupts those who are undisciplined.

Gillette’s add is just like all adds, they are pandering to an audience to make them spend money. However, their add also probably has some unintended results that they didn't think of because it disrespected many males who use their products. I’m sure some men are just not going to spend their money on a product made by a company who tried to shame them or the values they hold.

It was great to have 5 women in our American Defensive Pistol class this week. They realize it is their responsiblity fully prepared to protect themselves and others. I will never understand why we as a society tolerate terrible things happening to fully capable women but teach them from childhood they just need to be alert and call 911, at most carry mace and take a 4hour self defense class. This is somehow suppose to keep them safe against an often larger and or stronger man or men who have the tactical advantage for what they are planning to do. Then if they survive the attack they are suppose to rejoice and suddenly feel better if the bad guys are caught and move on. Would we knowingly put our LE or Military at that disadvantage? Always be fully prepared to defend your life and others with all means necessary. You can scale back from there.

Another great group this week willing to train in any weather conditions to learn to save a life! Not just call 911 and pray for help.
