    I guess this is the technical admission that the government is full-on fascist

    I am Antifa.

    Also, executive orders aren't laws.

    This is where they start disarming, kidnapping and disappearing us for being against fascism. Let the witch hunt begin

    Does antifi have any real organization? It's not a real thing is it?

    Thanks I know what it means but there is no existing antifa group, right? I understand a lot of people on lemmy consider themselves anti-facist and that's nice but they're not members of an organized group.

    What I'm getting at is the executive order is targeting something that doesn't actually exist irl. I'm guessing this EO is a reaction to protestors in Oregon during Trump's first term who were wearing masks and calling themselves antifa. Was it a real organization then? Seemed like a bunch of kids to me with no actual leadership structure.

    There is no such group or anything.

    There actually are many groups in the US which have "Antifa" in their name: for instance Rose City Antifa, NYC Antifa, Philly Antifa, Atlanta Antifa, among many others. Obviously this new (completely unprecedented btw) "domestic terrorist organization" designation is also going to be used against many people who aren't affiliated with any such group.

    Since it isn't a real thing, they have all the space required to define it by deciding who is and who isn't. They'll just keep saying people are antifa without evidence or proof. Once gossip and opinion started being treated as fact, this became inevitable.

    Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.

    If those institutions are fascistic then fuck yeah!
