NY Times Glorifies Antifa Terrorists

Thank you.
Not to be outdone by their series praising the long-gone days of communism, the New York Times is at it again.
Now, any paper that can wax poetic about an ideology that's been responsible for the deaths of 100 million people worldwide, it's not a surprise that they are now trying to normalize the very violent Antifa rioters.
They have given them a little expose here in the New York Times, which includes tactical tips for smashing the state, as well as a style guide.
What to wear.
Antifascist activists believe in dressing for the job they want.
Right now, many think that job is punching Nazis.
Okay, well, right off the bat, we know that this is going to be a bunch of fake news because Antifa...
Isn't looking for a job, okay?
They actually violently protest for the right not to work.
They smash in buildings, demanding that the state be their mommy and daddy and take care of everything.
Let's move on.
So they start the article talking about the Berkeley riots that took place in late August, how this was, according to many people, the largest so-called black bloc presence they had seen.
This mass of solid black descending upon the park in Berkeley hunting for fascists was an intimidating aesthetic.
That's by design.
Well, yeah, because a pack of skinny soy boys in their tight jeans and tank tops isn't really that frightening at all.
So they're interviewing this guy, Ben, who the Times has agreed to only use his first name because of the threat of harassment, online or otherwise, by activists, considering the Nazi sympathizer that was profiled by the New York Times recently has actually lost his job, his wife as well, and they may soon be losing their house over safety concerns.
Interesting double standards there when it comes to protecting certain groups of people.
By now you know the look.
Black work or military boots, pants, balaclavas, ski masks, gloves, jackets, gas masks, goggles, and shields may be added as accessories, but the basics have stayed the same since the look's inception.
The New York Times wants to dig in deeper and find out, are they just dressing up like this so that they can hide themselves from committing crimes, or, you know, are they just doing it to look tough?
Well, according to a history distributed by an anarchist news service in 2001, everyone quickly figured out that having a massive group of people all dressed the same with their faces covered not only helps in defending against police, but it also makes it easier for saboteurs to take the offensive against storefronts, banks, and any other material symbols and power centers of capitalism in the state.
The uniformity camouflages those who participate in illegal acts like property damage, refusing police orders, or physical assault against white supremacists or Nazis, or women and innocent passersby.
And then Ben says he's happy to be in this crowd that is creating anonymity for these people who are committing crimes.
He says, you know, people sometimes do things that are illegal, but I think they're ethical.
So even though we have an anarchist openly saying that they wear these clothes in order to evade police while they're committing crimes, the New York Times takes the effort to explain that it's a safety precaution that they take so that they won't be recognized by white supremacists.
More practical advice on how to dress for a riot.
One should decide on organic or synthetic gloves before participating in an action.
Wool and cotton may allow chemical contaminants, like pepper spray, to absorb, while nylon can melt if you grab something hot, which historically has included some kinds of tear gas canisters, but can include various things on fire.
Practitioners have evolved from covering up obvious markers like tattoos, birthmarks, and scars to hiding biometric indicators like ears and noses.
Some in black bloc say they've heard of people placing weights in belts to alter their gaits.
They go on to talk about the guide recommending that femmes, meaning people of any gender, with long hair, use tucked-in braids.
There's solid beauty advice as well.
A layer of glitter or highlighter dusted over your cheeks can serve double duty, showing off your glorious bone structure while simultaneously providing a helpful way to determine which side of your bandana was in contact with your face and which side is saturated in tear gas particulate.
Uniformity of characteristics and a visual sense of equality have a way of giving rise to feelings of solidarity.
So this article by the New York Times is not concerned about educating you on the violent ideology of Antifa.
No, they just want you to know how cool and intimidating their clothes are and how if you all show up dressed in black that you'll feel really good to be part of a group.
I don't understand.
Are they trying to encourage people to embrace this ideology, to show up all dressed in black at these protests?
Because let's not forget, back in September...
Politico obtained some confidential documents where it showed that the FBI and Homeland Security were warning of more Antifa attacks and that the Department of Homeland Security had actually formally classified their activities as domestic terrorist violence.
The New York Times fails to mention this little detail while they are gushing over the black bloc's aesthetic.
And we've only seen violence on the rise by these Antifa activists.
They have sent people to the hospital with stab wounds, knocked people out with bike locks and flagpoles and anything else they could get their hands on, untold property damage, smashing windows, setting fires.
There are even reports now that Antifa is stockpiling weapons.
But all of that is okay, according to the New York Times, as long as you look cool while you're smashing the state.
You blowing your rape whistle?
No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
