Still seems bonkers to me they made anti-fascists the bad guys.
It demonstrates they don’t comprehend basic English - this statement included.
Not really. To you, antifa is a loosely-if-at-all organised collection of people united by opposition to fascism. To them, it’s a real organisation with actual members who use violence against the government. To you, because the collection isn’t really organised, the name determines what it is. To them, because it’s a real organisation, the name can be a lie and doesn’t matter. To you, direct action against the government is justified, because they’re in the process of creating a fascist state. To them, the government isn’t fascist, so action against the government can’t be on the basis of anti-fascism; antifa must therefore be a dishonest label.
Ah, but you have made the classical mistake of assuming they think/ actually believe what they are saying and arent just trying to disenfranchise billions.
Who’s “they”, now? I think that plenty of politicians knowingly misrepresent things like this, but I don’t think the average Trump voter/Fox news watcher understands. Otherwise the politicians and the news just wouldn’t have to lie.
This is somewhat of an encouraging thought. They have to lie to keep people on their side. Unfortunately the lies work, but at least the people don’t support their real agenda.
Average viewer doesnt think, average producer is running a grift
It’s pretty much this from top to bottom.
There are true believers, grifters, and idiots all throughout the movement. Sometimes you can have various shades of believer/grifter/idiot all rolled into a single person.
And furthermore, to them the government can’t be fascist because they supported all of the fascist parts of it.
Never believe that
anti‐ Semitesfascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. Theanti‐Semitesfascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.- Jean-Paul Sartre
France to the rescue!
An old woman in a wheelchair stands up to ICE and you’re implying she’s a loser?
That woman has more courage in her pinkie toe than you have in your balls you little shit
There’s a guy I know who follows Asmongold and his moron takes. He came out for a group event.
Super scrawny guy who hides behind his computer and was terrified to walk to his car alone. Blocked him after he mocked protesters.
He’s the image I have of every one of those cucks who lick police boot.
It tracks that a fascist would present a picture of people who aren’t able-bodied white men and just assume that one should take that as intrinsically negative. It reveals their vile mindset.
they’re so pathetic and insecure
It tracks that they’re unable to recognize bravery just like they’re unable to recognize freedom. Their entire world view is programmed and skewed by the overclass of people who control every aspect of their lives because they rely on brainwashed obedience to maintain that control.
They don’t ask questions when reality doesn’t line up with whatever they’re being sold, just let it trickle down their throats and say thank you, while convincing themselves it must only be their imagination that it tastes a little funny. If there was really anything to worry about, surely somebody they trust would say something.
Bravery is supposed to look like Pete Hegseth criticizing women and trans people in the military while he struggles to do a pull up.
Bravery is not supposed to look like marginalized people refusing to be intimidated into silence by the anti-egalitarian fascists who “joke” about exterminating them.
Freedom is supposed to look like a ruling overclass free of the burden of the laws and regulations that were created to protect us from the overclass. In exchange the people that support the overclass are free to “joke” about genocide without fear of social consequences.
Freedom is not supposed to look like the freedom to stand up to oligarchs for your rights and the rights of others. Including the rights of the morons too dumb to understand who’s interests they’re looking out for when they willing hand over their own civil rights and liberties to those who claim “democracy is incompatible with freedom.”
Sometimes you’ve got to write a manifesto. I dig this one.
Antifa has leaders?! Since when?
Also anyone who’s against antifa, is fascist. By definition.
I mean, there’s a picture of stalin above your comment calling him a member of antifa council.
Some mixed signals there.
He did fight against the fascists during the second world war. But yeah, mixed signals, for sure.
Let’s say country A is imperialist with a bit of fascism sprinkled on top. County B is openly fascist, but has a lot of resources and poses a threat to country B.
If country A invades, occupies, and crushes country B, is country A inherently anti-fascist? It did fight the fascists.
I fail to see how that relates to what I said. I said anyone opposed to antifa is fascist by definition. The reverse isn’t automatically true.
A cow is an animal, not all animals are cows.Also I never said that I supported Stalin in anything
Sorry, I didn’t mean it to be directed at you. It was sort of a rethorical thought.
Anybody who’s against North Korea is against democracy. Anybody who’s against nazis is against socialism.
Just to be clear, your implication is that Antifa isn’t actually anti-fascist, but is fascist themselves?
Do you realize how hard it would be for antifa, a decentralized concept that people self identify as, to band together to oppress everyone in favor of nationalism? And what nation would they be oppressing for?
If you are correct, and I want you be clear that you aren’t and you’re dumb, but if you are correct then I’m fucking impressed by antifa more than ever.
Antifa isn’t a country, party or group though. It’s a loose movement.
A similar thing would be environmental activist (or enva for short). Sure, you could call yourself environmental activist while adocating against the environment, but that wouldn’t mean that environmental activism is bad for the environment, it would mean that you aren’t actually an environmental activist…
What
Holy shit. That is awesome. Where do I sign up for Antifa?
Can I be an anti fascist with out being an Antifa member?
Nope, because antifa means anti-fascist. Are you a fascist? No? Then you’re antifa. That easy.
Yes you can! We desperately need to organize along anti fascist lines without the baggage of the mentally ill maximalist fake left who describe themselves as antifa.
Nice try, CIA. It’s not that easy to divide the left anymore.
“Divide the left” lmao sure. Antifa is the CIA’s dream for the left.
Standing up for the weak? That’s bad now?
The enemy is both inferior and weak, but also they are taking over and should be feared. Please believe both, it’s incredibly important that you do
They cant even stand up
This picture makes my girl parts wet.

Uh ya. Turns out individuals who had to overcome social, economical, and political oppression seem to be POC, disabled, queer, or a women. They don’t see any able bodied white Christan men at the front and freak out. It’s because they think we’ll treat the way they treat everyone else. So Ya conservatives just think everyone is as evil as they are
mechanised infantery in the front
I look at that photo and think “hell yeah!”
Dumbasses are unable to understand that antifa is a nationwide movement not a centralized organization.
*international
Not even that.
Anitfa = antifascist
Are you a fascist? If not, then you are antifa.
No movement needed, but like minded antifa people gatherings are good.
No, you have to be against fascism. If you are neutral you would not be antifa
I disagree. If you are permissive or tolerant of fascism, even if you yourself don’t actively engage, you are a fascist cunt in my books.
When it comes to fascism, you are either for or against, there’s no in between.
Kinda like saying “I’m not a murderer myself, but I see nothing wrong with others being murderers.”
Inaction is the sum of it though. Neutrality is benign, but you should probably remove it anyways, right. They aren’t holding up their end of the bargain in a society, which is unfortunately taking a side on things. Not being at the table does not make them complicit by and large, but it allows it to happen.
They also allow good things to happen that they don’t necessarily agree with, because they stand aside and grumble to themselves and their tiny circle if not outright ignoring it. It doesn’t mean they should not be involved but humanity as a whole has a pact mentality, whereas it’s someone else problem, where are we going today?
I disagree.
Not being at the table does not make them complicit by and large, but it allows it to happen.
Isn’t allowing it to happen being complicit though? I’ve always been taught that if you stand there and watch some bully beat up another kid, you’re taking part in the bullying
I don’t think there is a “right” answer. They allow good things to happen too, are they responsible for that as well, or just the bad things that happen? Bystanders are simply a fact of life, it’s the doers who bear the responsibility. Look at mob mentality as an example.
I am as antifascist as everyone else

Damn that’s inspiring
I’m picking the one in the helmet for my team of hardened badasses. Anyone who owns a helmet is probably ready to go the distance.
