Antifa

[PalazioVecchio]

Trump wants to chase after some bright red hair. And its not Foxhunting.

Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization

Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States

www.whitehouse.gov

Meanwhile other politicians laud the achievements of AntiFascists. I'm not sure if it will be also a plaque for the shooter of Charlie Kirk ? We may similarly need to wait 80 years for the emotions to calm down and the deed to look 'historical' ? Perhaps uniquely, the anti-fascist lady below had some significant mental health problems.

Surely to designate anything as something it first has to exist?

Antifa doesn’t. It’s a loose group of the like minded with no central controlling organisation.

So this looks like a typical attention seeking action by Trump to attack those who oppose him. Whether he now instructs the FBI to go after individuals who express support for anti fascist or anti racist objectives remains to be seen but the idea that they are a threat to the USA is laughable. Trump is a much bigger threat with his slide into authoritarianism.

You are reacting in a way that maybe they do exist.

That opposition to the drift towards authoritarianism in government, and the perception that this could lead to fascism, certainly exists in a significant number of people. Some of whom use Antifa as a label. What doesn’t exist is any kind of central organising structure. It’s a group of ideas rather than an organisation.

That Trump thinks he can ban ideas indicates those people might just be right.

Wasn’t Brexit an idea that gained traction and happened. PA was an idea and now look. If, and it’s BS antifa is just an idea it is a bad one and needs to be prevented from gaining traction.

Brexit was an idea that actual organisations supported. They weren’t banned for doing so!

You cannot ban ideas. Trump is setting himself up to take more direct action against individuals who oppose him.

It’s authoritarianism.

Adopting the simple binary approach of many on here who state - with dogmatic certainty - that if you are not 100% behind something you are 100% against it.

E.g., any criticism of Israel can only mean you are a Jew hater.

Thus, if you are against anti-fascism, does that mean you are pro fascism?

For the record, Antifa are a dissolute, shambolic, disparate jamboree bag of widely differing groups bandied together for political convenience as ubiquitous scapegoats for various wrongs that they may or may not be responsible for.

As a general rule anything that upsets baby Trump is excellent * toys thrown from pram*
