The Trump administration is organising an international summit focused on countering the left-wing movement Antifa and other groups, three sources familiar with the matter said.

The effort highlights the shift in the US government’s counterterrorism priorities over the past year.

US President Donald Trump has portrayed Antifa as a severe threat to the US.

Counterterrorism experts argue it does not exist as an organised entity, though people claiming affinity to Antifa have been involved in armed attacks in the US.

The Nazis are going to attackpeople who hate fascism all over the world at once.

There will be no one to save us and we will apparently just sleepwalk into slavery before being turned into biofuel for elon's illegal CSAM AI

Has antifa ever committed a terrorist act? No? Because it's not an organization. And the supporters don't bomb other countries/civilians.

A MAGA follower attempted to kill the president. Have a summit on the threats that MAGA followers pose to the US citizens, the country, and the world.

The government never announces that it is becoming fascist. They announce that anti-fascists are the enemy.

anyone got a credible link to this?

They probably count people like the Unabomber as left wing.

A anti-fascism movement, yeah?

[-] luciferofastora@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

I don't think the name argument holds water. Just look at the Department of Justice lately. It just happens to be true in this case.

Dude targeting and arresting like 10 people in black isn’t going to stop the rest of us from hating you and your administration, and holding you all to account as soon as it is possible.

And I'm not going to abandon my black clothing just because some nonce says so.
