I get your sentiment but this argument is fundamentally flawed

Like I could name my organization “anti rape” which sounds great and all but if I’m secretly using it to fund robberies or smn that ain’t a good thing. Not that antifa is like that but the right is convinced that it is

Wow it’s almost like naming yourself “I oppose the bad thing” is a really convenient way to avoid being criticized for anything ever and therefore exactly what bad people would name themselves. Wait until this guy finds out about the Patriot Act

the thing thats funny and concerning is: antifa ISNT. it doesnt exist, its not an organization, has no operations, no headquarters, no states where it does things, nothing. if youre gonna target "antifa" then its going to have to just be antifascist sentiment, which is either making the claim of organization and call to further targeting, or just thought crime

I do think there are groups of people who use the antifa label to bring about anarchy. Is that antifa itself? No, I don’t think so. But I do think there are people using that for nefarious purposes yes

It’s definitely not that I know, but again half the country is convinced that what they’re saying about it is true. Just telling people “you’re wrong” isn’t going to help. You need to understand the foundation for what they believe and reframe it around a more objective truth

Using an extreme analogy and then saying “not that my analogy holds” is a pretty idiotic statement from one who susses flaws out of other people’s arguments!

I think yall are misunderstanding the point I’m trying to make. Antifa isn’t anything to dems. It’s just a name. To the right it’s this massive domestic terrorist group. It’s probably *something* used by a small subset of people that defines the narrative for the right. Trying to stand behind antifa like “oh but its goal is anti fascist” is a moot point here. I’m not trying to defend the witch hunt the right is making out of it, just merely trying to explain where that rhetoric came from

Maybe if multiple people are “misunderstanding” your point, you might wanna consider your point and your ways of articulating it! When you point a finger towards others, you got three fingers pointing at yourself

Anarchism is nefarious?

In my eyes yes. When it is specifically done in order to cause harm to others, it’s no different than extreme capitalism in that regard to me. The idea of a lawless land itself isn’t nefarious, but the only proponents of such a system are the nefarious people and/or those more distantly attuned to the reality of this world

Are police officers nefarious for violently enforcing a system that necessitates poverty? If not, then why?
