Yes they are, and they're winning and they're going to burn our country to the ground while celebrating in the streets.

Keep in mind I can run an LLM that can churn out the low effort comments that sub is known for on 2 year old gaming hardware.

It's one of the problems with social media now (including this one)

What are you confused about? The current US administration is very openly fascist.

Some people are openly fascist, yes. Thanks to the stupid fucking Jubbilee VS videos, I now know the depths of human stupidity are more boundless than I imagined.

However, I think this person just can't connect the dots that being anti-anti-fascism is just being pro-fascism. They don't actually think about the words they use, their meaning or their context. They just know that "antifa" is a left wing group, and left-wing, of course, bad, obviously. And since "antifa" stands for "anti-fascism", anyone that are "anti-fascists", including historical figures who lived and fought fascism well before the Antifa group existed, are the same as this modern group, and therefore left-wing, which, again, bad. They don't then take the next step in logic to, "if the anti-fascists were bad for opposing fascism, then fascism must be good. Praise Mussolini." Again, some do get there, but most are just thoughtless dum-dums.

It reminds me of when you ask people "If you are driving 80 miles PER HOUR, how long will it take for you to drive 80 miles?" And then they start guessing random shit or trying to logic it out or do math instead of just understand what the hell is being said. Weird mental gymnastics ensue that just demonstrate their complete lack of understanding.

yes or they cant put together antifa is short for anti facist

edit: spelling

Yes.

Nearly half of America seems to be although I'd argue they're too stupid to even realize it.

There are real people out there that have no idea what fascism is. They think it's a movement that will ensure they have a stable job and that will just gently ensure that people with colored skin stay out.

They'd be fairly innocent if it wasn't for the rampant racism

I don't what to hear it! I don't read the news! My mom is always right, I get all my news from her!

Wouldn't expect anything more poetic from "Team Shit."

It makes no sense! Peppers are supposed to be spicy, not sweet! I've never trusted a bell pepper in my life! My mom says they are Italian!

the narrative that Nazi Germany was socialist is already gaining traction in many places, it will be taught in school in short order if it's not already.

See, the place where leftists are deluding themselves is they think just because you can't repress all knowledge in all places, that somehow the "Truth will overcome" and that people will still learn how things went.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't take everyone believing a lie, it just takes a fraction of outspoken assholes to lead a nation down a new direction. They have the monopoly on outspoken assholes unfortunately, so I don't see any real opposition happening unless every fucking social-recluse on Lemmy and Reddit and discord suddenly decide that their country is more important than their comfort and special needs.

I joke so I can make people feel an emotional connection to what is actually happening around them as they acknowledge the cognitive dissonance and reality.

Um...I mean...terrorists identified by Marco Rubio don't deserve passports

People need to stop letting rightards redefine words. Whenever I hear someone railing about antifa I show them this picture and ask which side are they on. I'm not some edgelord in a trenchcoat with a fedora either. It actually makes them stammer and back out of that position in a fucking hurry.

My mother said that Antifa was a well organized terrorist organisation, and she is always right!

PS: My momma is always right.

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization

We need to report everyone's grand parents that faught against fascists in world war 2!

By the strictest definition, I guess I can see it. He opposed Hitler, the most visible fascist of the 20th century, so he's an anti-fascist.

I don't know what Antifa even means but my mom says it's communist so I hate it!
