Why is this newspaper listing antifa as far left.
It’s not far left at all holy crap.

If anti-fascism is terroristic, is fascism good?
I thought our grandparents fought nazis and were anti-fascist. Were they terrorists by fighting against Nazi Germany?

So whatever happened to that nerd that they plastered all over the internet saying he was the head of antifa or some shit?
I woulda thought they’d be ringing that bell 24/7 that they have proof the organization exists, but it was like 1-3 days and it dropped off the face of relevancy.
There was never an “antifa” organization. Just the ever willingness of conservatives to piss their drawers at every imaginary boogeyman created by their favorite talking heads.
Looking back at the most recent mass shooting events that have occurred in America. It’s pretty obvious where the domestic terrorism is coming from because they fly their flags and wear the apparel pretty proudly.
But the government ignores that full stop and wants to convince us a pack of nerds who rightfully hate pedophiles and greedy ceos are the people we need to be afraid of.
I guess if *I was* a pedophile or a greedy piece of shit ceo, I’d be *kinda* worried. So it makes sense why the pedophile ceos are spending alot of money trying to make their enemy, *our* enemy.

Antifa activism learned from their experiences in 30s and 40s Europe. Decentralized with no organizational structure means fascist governments cant police and murder the activists.

Ignoring the antifa part, but isn’t a lack of centralized structure literally the cornerstone of terror organizations? The point is that there is no head to strike.
hierarchy_of_ideas on
Antifa is a label that the trump administration put on anarchists(the term hadn’t been used in decades), and then some less educated/ younger people started calling themselves Antifa. Before Trump, anarchists were fighting capitalism(WTO, IMF, G20). That’s why there is no leadership structure to antifa, anarchists believe in decentralized power structures. Fucking hate the anifa label, as it only describes one of many ideologies that anarchists oppose.

In case you were wondering, the “Gov’t” featured in the article is **The Netherlands**, not the USA:
>The Dutch government will not designate far-left Antifa as a terrorist organization because it does not meet the legal requirement of a centralized structure under Dutch law

Well, all of us down at Antifa Headquarters will be very happy about this!
We are very busy enrolling new Antifa members, and ordering our new Antifa T-shirts, and writing articles for the latest Antifa newsletter, and organizing the upcoming Antifa summer barbecue. (I’m bringing potato salad!)

antifa arn’t terrorist anyways. They are a group that stands against fascists.

You are literally trying to transform an ideology into a terrorist organization. That’s not only unenforceable , but it’ll lead to all kinds of bizarre legal problems since it is not an organization. They could have done something against the ideology in congress, but they wanted to take revenge because Democrats labeled white supremacy organizations terrorists, but they have actual organized structures; Democrats are not brain-dead.

They love to use the antifa excuse
maga and the exteme far-left tankies are on the same team just like the nazis and soviets at the start of WW2 until they broke their alliance and backstabbed eachother. they love getting to point at eachother and claiming the moral highground while the common man suffers
antifa isn’t even an actual organization, it’s a distraction 😭

“Antifa” is kind of by definition “DISorganization.”
CishetmaleLesbian on
The Government of the US can and has labeled Antifa as terror organization despite the lack of centralized structure, general peaceful nature, and their opposition to fascism, white supremacy, neo-Nazis, and far-right extremism – the very things that up until recently the US government also opposed, rather than supported.
