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 mean we literally just had an fbi official in congress talking about antifa being the #1 domestic terrorist threat and he couldnt even stutter out an answer to anything i said.

I think the reality is some very wealthy and powerful people have been working very hard to get average everyday citizens to think that opposing fascism is illegal, in order to cover up and protect their own dangerous, harmful, and fascist actions. Isn’t that much better than “the reality is somewhere between the two”? Especially since people have been conditioned into that type of anti intellectualism in many topics, not just this one.

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

But also consider who that is coming from. Sure, even if I accept your assumption that there are groups of people who hijack the antifa label for their own personal goals, would they be representative of the goal of anti fascism/antifa? I think, the people in power who are currently actively and willfully laying out the infrastructure for a fascist police state, are preemptively planting the seed in every “undecided” citizen (for lack of a better term) that opposing them is equivalent to

Domestic terrorism, in an attempt to not only prevent and downplay current and future resistance, but also to avoid their own designation as domestic terrorists. The same people in power claiming that “antifa is an organized group of domestic terrorists” are the ones who gleefully violated the constitution to deploy active national guard members to various states (and marines in California); weaponized the various departmental agencies (specifically ICE and CBP) against legal residents and

Citizens, attempted to establish an illegitimate department without congressional authority, used that department to strip funds from other agencies, collect personal data from citizens, and much more; then decommissioned that agency all under the guise of “fixing corruption”. The literal corrupted fascists are attempting to deflect from their crimes and trying to get you angry at people who are vocally against these actions. Put the dots together and the bigger picture falls together.

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?

Anonymous #8 2w

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?
