Yeah you can make all the Nazi comparisons you want, and it's perfectly valid.

But my rationale behind this is that multiple times, Alex Jones and Mike Cernovich have been caught attempting to pay protesters. Infowars even sponsored that disgusting "CNN IS ISIS" contest a couple months ago.

They're setting up traps, and every time Antifa shows up to beat the shit out of them, we're falling into their traps. I would like to think we're better than to not fall for their bullshit. Because their ultimate goal is to discredit "the left" at every turn. And every time we fall for one of their traps, we're adding more fuel to their fire, and they love it. They thrive on that shit. The trolls become even bigger trolls. And the best way to stop trolls is by not feeding them, is it not?
