One of the things I really don’t understand about modern America is how people behaving like Blackshirts are somehow “anti-fascist” and above media criticism.

Not just the US. Antifa behaves this way in other Western countries too. From where I’m standing all the ‘black square’ (dressed all in black, faces disguised) does is beating up people, fight with the police and destroy poor peoples property. They never attack the wealthy or clash with their well organized security nor destroy their mansions or burn their cars, but they destroy common citizens cars or attack them like the cowards they are.

I don’t see any difference between them and garden variety nazis - they all behave like thugs.

Not to sound like a dolt, but other countries have this problem too?

Yeah. I haven’t been able to wrap my head around people “protesting” racism and fascism by burning black communities to the ground and beating up bystanders. (And how they almost never get called out for that in mainstream media.) It’s all bullshit and zero concern for actual minorities, working class people, or democracy.

Yeah. You can see them frequently at G20, G8 or other G* protests. Any kind of social issues be it climate or racism and the ”black block” will assemble. When tires or cars burned in say Paris during riots a couple years back, you betcha they were there. They usually come to these protests from all over the country. Or countries. I assume it’s a lot of fun for them, not like it’s on them to pick up the pieces.

It's because the "liberal" media in the US is bought and sold (or owned) by Big Pharma. Literally.

Even "independent" media like Democracy Now! is enthusiastically pumping out genderology propaganda - why? Look at its donors.
