    So being anti-fascist is being a terrorist? I sure am glad most of the WW2 vets aren’t here to witness that everything they fought for would make them a terrorist.

    Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

    White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

      They really are weak and pathetic. They only feel safe when they surround themselves with people identical to them. They would never go to a foreign country or try ethnic food or visit a museum. All of that is too scary. MAGA are nothing but weak, chickenshit snowflakes.

    The fascist terrorists are classifying everyone else as terrorists like the little pissbaby fuckfaces they are.

    I am Antifa. Antifa means Anti Fascist … so yea, if MAGAs “hated enemy” is an antifascist movement then they have basically just classified themselves.

      I really hate how media gladly reused this label.

      Antifa, pronounced ant-tea-fuh, allowed it to be disconnected from the actual words it was shortened from, and then used as a boogieman.

      We all know there is no central antifa command center, headquarters, or organization. We are “antifa” because we are anti fascism.

      As you say, you can label yourself, but you can also label yourself by your enemies.

      The anti-fascists are Trump’s enemies, therefore…

      It is not just MAGA literally the whole world is fascist. This is why Antifacists are so hated amongst leaders of the world.

      Did you forgot about the World Trade protests? Antifacists are at odds with the entire business world AKA big money. The leaders of the world cannot let this movement catch on.

    It is WAY past time for the US “left,” such as it is, to earn the labels it’s receiving.

    The “if you want to cry, I’ll give you something to cry about” angle is what’s needed.

      While this is just the next phase of fascism we all expected, and as incompetent as the FBI has become, no one should doubt that this is a dangerous escalation. I haven’t been able to fly for almost 20yrs because of “alleged” ties to ALF/ELF during the terror panic that birthed Homeland Security post-9/11. That was when the modern surveillance state was just getting rolling.

    Yeah, nevermind the actual terrorists that do things like…checks notes…storm the Capitol, beat up police and were seeking to hang members of Congress and the Vice President in an effort to overturn a free and fair election.

      Hey, he got the Georgia ballots, so I’m fairly sure the next step is to “find” 11,780 that were never counted and declare himself the true winner of 2020.

      Ergo he would’ve been elected for a third-consecutive term in 2024, so he should be ineligible and everything he’s done since null-and-void? I guess? I dunno where they are going with this except to write the history books in their favor.

    If you haven’t already, I would start talking to your neighbors and organizing.

    We already know the camps exist, and if you’ve seen some of the images that have been leaked you’ll know the conditions are inhumane and cruel. These new labels can be applied to anyone, for any reason. And make no mistake, you don’t even have to be in left-wing spaces to be accused and disappeared. So it’s not just you in danger, it’s everybody around you. It’s your co-workers, your family, your friends. All it takes is a wrong place, wrong time.

    Organize now, before you don’t have that option anymore.
