The US govt is trying to brand "antifascism" as a terrorist ideology. They host antifa stuff.


[flagged]


Antifa is not one organization, that's ridiculous. It would be like claiming that "Anarchists" are a terrorist organization.

The objection is the administration is inventing a group wholesale in order to designate those who oppose their policies as terrorists. The executive order can say whatever, that doesn't make it factual.

Ridiculous. I am anti fascist, and I have never heard of any of what you are talking about.

I oppose fascism.

That does not magically infuse into my brain mysterious connections to groups of people, nor instantaneous knowledge and mastery of tactics from nazi groups...

That would be actually kind of cool, but no, sorry to disappoint you.


You link to that press release like it means something more than changing a lake's name by fiat.


Antifa isn't an organisation at all. It's a loosely defined ideology / set of tactics that leftist movements (everything from black block kids to local democratically organised spaces) sometimes use or follow.


Antifa is as much of an organization as Anonymous.


The United States classified Nelson Mandela a terrorist until 2008.


Yeah, yeah, soon any opposition to Trump or Israel is deemed terrorist...


It's not soon, it's literally right now.


It's getting there. Right now there is still free opposition to Trump.
