It still makes me giggle that the far right chose "Antifa" as their boogeyman. You can ask any of them what it stands for, half of which just say radical liberals that are trying to take over America. Then tell them it means anti-fascist, ask them what from with being against fascism, and then watch their heads spin while glowing red. Good times.
I think this is better presented as:
"Oh wait you are FOR fascism?"
"No I'm just against antifa."
"There is no like, regulating body for this 'antifa'. It's just what the fascists labeled anyone who isn't supporting fascism. If you aren't a fascist, then you are antifa."
Lol I have to say that I've never actually met anyone that claims to be affiliated with Antifa. Plenty Proud Boys and the like, but I'm convinced Antifa is a borderline myth.
I'm a lieutenant commander in the Western Corps of the Antifa International Brigade, nice to meet you!
There's the occasional street fight that breaks out between them and the proud boys from time to time.
I've met a couple. Cool dudes, a few loose screws. They have a compound where they make their own ammo.
I think anyone attracted to the prospect of violence is a bit of a dick by definition.
We get a new word for "people I don't like" every five years. Almost like its some kind of marketing gimmick that a handful of right-wing news outlets cook up in a think tank back room and then roll out as a fashion statement.
Antifa, Marxist, Leftist, Wumao, Tree Hugger, F-ggot, N-, the terms echo through history.
Well, everyone knows that Fascism is when you're a National Socialist. And that means the Real Fascists are Socialists, which is what the Antifa are, which means Antifa means Fascist.
As a True Patriot, I'm standing up against your evil foreign mind virus by speaking the Secret Truth that They Don't Want You To Know. And that Secret Truth that nobody will let you say is how Middle Aged Wealthy White Men are the natural leaders of society who make everything better. When they're not in charge, when they're not in control of ever facet of socio-economic policy, when they're not in a position of Strength and Pride, the country goes to shit. And that's when the Antifa Fascists come crawling out of the woodwork to spread the disease of dissent and rebellion against the Natural Order.
You either let good Christian American Men lead this country to its inevitable Utopian Future, or I have every right to murder you in self defense. That's what it means to be Against Fascism. So are you with us, or are you with the terrorists?
And everyone clapped
