    So being anti-fascist is being a terrorist? I sure am glad most of the WW2 vets aren’t here to witness that everything they fought for would make them a terrorist.

    Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

    White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

      They really are weak and pathetic. They only feel safe when they surround themselves with people identical to them. They would never go to a foreign country or try ethnic food or visit a museum. All of that is too scary. MAGA are nothing but weak, chickenshit snowflakes.

    Then we can’t make things worse by burning the White House to the fucking ground.

    It is WAY past time for the US “left,” such as it is, to earn the labels it’s receiving.

    The “if you want to cry, I’ll give you something to cry about” angle is what’s needed.

    At what point does the benefit outweigh the risk of driving around with your flak jacket and 3D printed piece? When do you make the switch from locked away and secret to always ready?

    I am Antifa. Antifa means Anti Fascist … so yea, if MAGAs “hated enemy” is an antifascist movement then they have basically just classified themselves.

      I really hate how media gladly reused this label.

      Antifa, pronounced ant-tea-fuh, allowed it to be disconnected from the actual words it was shortened from, and then used as a boogieman.

      We all know there is no central antifa command center, headquarters, or organization. We are “antifa” because we are anti fascism.

      As you say, you can label yourself, but you can also label yourself by your enemies.

      The anti-fascists are Trump’s enemies, therefore…

      It is not just MAGA literally the whole world is fascist. This is why Antifacists are so hated amongst leaders of the world.

      Did you forgot about the World Trade protests? Antifacists are at odds with the entire business world AKA big money. The leaders of the world cannot let this movement catch on.

      Recently had a WWII vet visit my parish. Dude was over 100 years old and was in town for a Pearl Harbor commemoration. He told me that he was among the first group of Allied soldiers to fly over Europe after the surrender and he described seeing people trying to make a life among the rubble of their towns and cities. He then compared this to what he was seeing in Gaza and started to lament the US’ support of Israel and how he saw clear connections to what is going on there and what he witnessed in Europe. You’re absolutely right, there are now too few living who remember…
