    I don’t understand why it matters. Antifa from what I understand, is anti fascist. Is America fascist, so they need to be afraid of this ‘idea’?

    I already know the answer, I just don’t understand why more people especially journalists aren’t asking it.

    For all the warmongers here who think it’s fine for the government to boost military spending and dump billions on “defense”.

    Good luck.

    The US government designates most of their citizens and almost the entire world (except Israel and the Russian government) as terrorists as antifa means you’re anti fascism. Guess I’m a terrorist now.

      Fwiw, the President can’t just “declare” that a group is a domestic terrorist organization. That’s a violation of the Fifth Amendment.

      We’ve been able to get away with declaring foreign groups as terrorist organizations because they’re not based in America so the government can claim the Constitution doesn’t apply to them.

      Of course, we all also know this won’t stop Trump…

    Since “antifa” is just and idea and not an actual organization, use another term that means the same thing.

    Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government

      “We can’t just label someone immigrant or trans so we need another term for people who we want to throw into our concentration camps when we don’t like them that is vague enough so that it means everything and nothing.”

    You would think a country that is really good at terrorising the world would be better to recognise terrorists.

    They know that Antifa isn’t real. This way they can call anything Antifa and it’s now a terrorist that has no human rights.

      Antifa is very real. They started fighting the Nazis in Germany. Today we fight fascists all over the world.

        It feels weird that people say that “antifa isn’t real”. There’s tons of groups using that name and symbols while doing Antifa type stuff. It’s just not a singular organization but rather a loose collection of separate groups.

        The vast majority of these tweets allege that Soros is paying protestors to riot, and that he funds antifa. A smaller number claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and enable the globalist takeover of America, while some go so far as to claim that George Floyd’s death was actually a false flag deployed by Soros in order to precipitate the current crisis.

        White supremacists are so fucking stupid. And so fucking in charge of the USA.

              As S. Ansky said ca. 1900 in his poem In Zaltsikyn Yam, [translated] “We (Jews) have heard this story before from our enemies, ‘A ghetto for the eternal kyke.’”

              Israel is pretty great for anti-Semites; it’s a “somewhere else” to send all the Jews (with much better optics than Auschwitz) and it’s also pure fucking evil, and has its fingers all through many other governments, making their nutjob conspiracy theories actually look plausible sometimes.

                Yeah, the actions of Israel are the number one cause of antisemitism in the world.

                People who don’t know better start at accurate descriptions and righteous outrage over the atrocities committed by the IOF and the Knesset and the rage bait algorithms of social media take them down rabbit holes that lead to the actually antisemitic nonsense.

                Hell, even if you know enough to avoid that, it’s sometimes hard to not be instinctively prejudiced against all Israeli people even if you’re not an antisemite.

                Given that the vast majority of the population has been successfully brainwashed by decades of government indoctrination into thinking of all Palestinians as subhuman threats to their lives and thus are in favor of the oppression as long as the Israeli casualties are kept to a minimum, I must admit that I sometimes struggle with it myself…

              Israel is required to exist for some interpretations of Armageddon in the Bible. They hate them, but they need Israel to exist because it’s central to moving forward with the end of the world and their gods cleansing of the forces of evil and the ushering in of a new world order.

              So keep that fun fact in mind when you hear Christians being really pro Israel.
