16. "RE: Alt+Right are against the strike, but..." In response to In response to 7
Peace and love? The Trump Syria strike targeted an airbase that is being used in the systematic killing of millions of poor, muslim civilians.
I'm not completely close-minded about non-interventionist policies....but the fact is, Bernie Sanders (as good a representative of the progressives as any) is virtually indistinguishable from the alt-right's views on American intervention:
"I’m deeply concerned that these strikes could lead to the United States once again being dragged back into the quagmire of long-term military engagement in the Middle East," Sanders said in a statement. "If the last 15 years have shown anything, it’s that such engagements are disastrous for American security, for the American economy, and for the American people."
There's an individual holding a sign that says 'Hands Off Syria'. My SO and I tried to figure out if he was alt-right or anti-facist. There was no way of knowing. End of day...the anti-facists went to protest a protest that they intrinsically agree with.
