kirk’s death is doing nothing to dent MAGA oppression or do anything good but the opposite, just like i said… “Mr. Trump, who has downplayed violence from right-wing or other supporters, said that he would like to designate a range of groups, including the loosely affiliated group of far-left anti-fascism activists, known as “antifa,” as domestic terrorists and bring racketeering cases against people funding protests.”

    I haven’t googled it in awhile but IIRC antifa just means anti fascist. It’s not like an organization.

      I remember when antifascist was a good thing to be. Like all the time from the 1930s to the 2010s.

        It is still a good thing to be. Just because the Fascists don’t like it, doesn’t mean we have to indulge them.

          Of course. It’s just crazy that this “antifascism is bad” line gets any traction at all, and that the media don’t call it out.

        During the Red Scare, people were persecuted for being “premature anti-fascists.” See, at first, the only pushback was coming from the socialists and commies.

      If you’re anti fashism, you’re anti (future) America and need to be dealt with because you’re a terrorist. /s
