Still seems bonkers to me they made anti-fascists the bad guys.

    It demonstrates they don't comprehend basic English - this statement included.

    Not really. To you, antifa is a loosely-if-at-all organised collection of people united by opposition to fascism. To them, it's a real organisation with actual members who use violence against the government. To you, because the collection isn't really organised, the name determines what it is. To them, because it's a real organisation, the name can be a lie and doesn't matter. To you, direct action against the government is justified, because they're in the process of creating a fascist state. To them, the government isn't fascist, so action against the government can't be on the basis of anti-fascism; antifa must therefore be a dishonest label.

    Ah, but you have made the classical mistake of assuming they think/ actually believe what they are saying and arent just trying to disenfranchise billions.

    Who's "they", now? I think that plenty of politicians knowingly misrepresent things like this, but I don't think the average Trump voter/Fox news watcher understands. Otherwise the politicians and the news just wouldn't have to lie.

    Never believe that anti‐ Semites fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

    It tracks that a fascist would present a picture of people who aren’t able-bodied white men and just assume that one should take that as intrinsically negative. It reveals their vile mindset.

    There's a guy I know who follows Asmongold and his moron takes. He came out for a group event.

    Super scrawny guy who hides behind his computer and was terrified to walk to his car alone. Blocked him after he mocked protesters.

    He's the image I have of every one of those cucks who lick police boot.

    Antifa has leaders?! Since when?

    Also anyone who's against antifa, is fascist. By definition.

    Uh ya. Turns out individuals who had to overcome social, economical, and political oppression seem to be POC, disabled, queer, or a women. They don't see any able bodied white Christan men at the front and freak out. It's because they think we'll treat the way they treat everyone else. So Ya conservatives just think everyone is as evil as they are

    Dumbasses are unable to understand that antifa is a nationwide movement not a centralized organization.

    I was told in the super secret meeting that Elon Musk is the leader of antifa. He just doesn’t want the secret to get out.
