according to some yes, but according to normal people though, antifa is just people who don't want nazis around them, which should be everyone?

    Since it is leaderless some factions of Antifa are extreme left, some are what they say on the tin and are are anti fascist, and some are crypto-fascists who have appropriated the language of antifa as a smoke screen , this last group has most of the ones who go on social media and stir up ship , and bait people, and try to turn peaceful protests into riots to discredit the protestors...

    Makes them violent extremists

    Only if you believe that any violence is extreme. I would disagree, punching fascists is fairly centrist and enjoys broad support.

    what I've seen, plenty of antifa folk will use violence and vandalism against people unrelated to the supposed target group.

    That is besides the point. You can be against facists and also against Nestle at the same time.

    "Centrist" only if you use the sense of a median popular political position, which isn't really what it means. Self-described centrists are actually conservative and tend to be weirdly* okay with Nazis.

    *weird if you don't understand the link between capital, the state, conservatism and fascism

    do you think WWII was won without violence mate? If nazis could be reasoned with there wouldn't be a war in the first place. You can't turn the other cheek to nazis, it's just not an option, you either fight back or you die.

    Centrists are currently overseeing a genocide right before our eyes and telling us that the fascists would be worse so we just have to suck it up and vote for them.

    Centrists are violent extremists
