It's doubtful that anyone apart from billionaires made more billions from Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The world has become more wealthy through free trade, supported by recent US governments (but not the current administration). Also medical advances (again...) and freedom of movement of labor (again...).
 
Who was it that attacked Andy Ngo and almost killed him?
The only one who says it was Antifa was Ngo himself, who has a miserable track record for factual accuracy (and who likely didn't have a chance to say, "By the way, are you with Antifa?' when he was getting beaten up).

Here. It's not banned. Full disclosure: I'm not a librarian.

From Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook:

I wish there were no need for this book. But someone burned down the Victoria Islamic Center in Victoria, Texas, hours after the announcement of the Trump administration’s Muslim ban. And weeks after a flurry of more than a hundred proposed anti-LGBTQ laws in early 2017, a man smashed through the front door of Casa Ruby, a Washington, D.C., transgender advocacy center, and assaulted a trans woman as he shouted “I’m gonna kill you, faggot!” A day after Donald Trump’s election, Latino students at Royal Oak Middle School in Michigan were brought to tears by their classmates’ chants of “Build that wall!” And then in March, a white-supremacist army veteran who had taken a bus to New York to “target black males” stabbed a homeless black man named Timothy Caughman to death. That same month, a dozen tombstones were toppled and defaced in the Waad Hakolel Jewish cemetery in Rochester, New York. Among those resting in peace in Waad Hakolel is my grandmother’s cousin Ida Braiman, who was fatally shot by an employer months after she arrived in the United States from Ukraine as she stood on a picket line with other immigrant Jewish garment workers in 1913. The recent spate of Jewish cemetery desecrations in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and elsewhere occurred under the Trump administration, whose statement on the Holocaust omitted any reference to Jews, whose press secretary denied that Hitler gassed anyone, and whose chief advisor was one of the most prominent figures of the notoriously anti-Semitic alt-right. As Walter Benjamin xii INTRODUCTION wrote at the apogee of interwar fascism, “even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he wins.”
 
My impression of Antifa is that most of them are white liberal arts graduates who are angry that their college degrees have not earned for them college level careers and incomes.

My impression of Trump's MAGA supporters is that they are white and less well educated. They blame their problems on East Asians, Jews and liberals. Their real problem is that the better paying jobs they have the intelligence to learn are being replaced by computer technology and automation.
 
Ill ask, because I know you don't know- who is this woman and what makes her any expert on the topic?

She went undercover?

Here's her current occupation:
  • Practice: Owner of Zen Workplace, where she helps individuals and organizations improve their professional lives through positive and organizational psychology, as well as mindfulness techniques.
It gets better

Seems like a split personality. The Penguin author one is “woke” up to her eyeballs and the other (on Xitter) is a raging fascist loon.

Real Jekyll and Hyde stuff. 😄

Starting on page 149, the author gives a few examples of anti-fascists in different countries handling situations pertaining to free speech (including the free speech of their fascist enemies). They argue countries which were historically strongly affected by fascist political systems are modernly prone to avoid them. But why?

Again, from Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook:
DO ANTI-FASCISTS AGREE THAT “NO PLATFORMING” FASCISTS, THAT IS, DISRUPTING THEIR PUBLIC ORGANIZING, VIOLATES THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
Some do and some don’t, though most don’t even publicly engage with the argument.
The perspectives that anti-fascists hold, or at least how they articulate them, vary by national context. Since most of the countries of continental Europe have laws against inciting racial hatred or Holocaust denial, impeding fascist propaganda is less controversial. The historical legacy of fascism and Nazism were far more palpable for people who had grown up under such regimes or had parents and relatives who had. Moreover, European left political culture is more inclined to conceive of the struggle against fascism in politically oppositional terms as opposed to a test-case for individual civil liberties.
Personally, I find the argument that shutting down fascist organizing does not infringe upon the speech of fascists to be unconvincing. While it is essential to distinguish between the hateful comments of isolated individuals and the organizing initiatives of fascists, organizing constitutes speech—often literally. Not all speech is organizing, and therefore anti-fascists do not organize against speech per se, but much organizing is speech. If the tables were turned this would be obvious. If a fascist movement grew so powerful that it prevented leftists from gathering in public, and so threatening that collectively expressing anticapitalist aspirations carried the threat of physical confrontation, we would rightly conclude that our speech was being curtailed.
In my opinion “no platforming” fascists often infringes upon their speech, but this infringement is justified for its role in the political struggle against fascism. Regardless of how they articulate themselves, these anti- fascists value the free and open exchange of ideas—they simply draw the line at those who use that freedom to promote genocide or question people’s humanity.

Ngo is very accurate, actually, and it was clearly Antiffa. Antifa had organized it and they were in the black that Antifa wears.

Neither half of that is true, and it took me less than one minute of searching to find three cites to that effect.

They're not the only ones who wear black.
 
Antifa killed hundreds of Germans during World War 2.
They actually made a mini-series about it!
It was called "Band of Brothers" if I recall.

Those arguing against antifa must enjoy supporting fascists. How many of your grandfather's fought fascists? I know of 2 that 1 landed Omaha Beach and another Anzio.
