So France is now openly pro-tifa. What's that short for again? Oh. Right. Fascist.

Holy shit. I'm glad I don't need anything in France.

    I mean it should be obvious to anyone with a pulse and two neurons to rub together but most fascists don’t meet that second stipulation

    i'm convinced it has more to do with attention spans than intelligence since the people who are hurts the most by it are the least aware that they're getting hurt by it.

    That is not a new development. As an American, I know that my people sometimes think of the French as left-wing generally, but there are very strong reactionary elements in their society.

    It later emerged that the border rejecting over her history of vocal antifascist activism, including her participation in the 2023 Paris memorial marking the 10th anniversary of Clément Méric's murder, the young activist killed by far-right skinheads in 2013.

    Fascists are getting annoyingly bold in their anti-anti-fascist activity. I guess they’re feeling pretty confident about their position in power. Are there any major anti-fascist power groups to stand up against them at this point?
