It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.
This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦♂️
Stay safe out there!
Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!
I’m embarrassed to ask this but what is antifa? Anti-fascist? People who don’t want another Hitler? If so, why is it so controversial and why do they think antifa stormed the capital because that’s the last thing an antifa group would do.
antifa is an organized anti-fascist group dreamed up by trump. they don’t exist, and never have. if you look at the things the bill cites as actions by antifa it includes blm, drag queen story hour, random forum posts, the capitol storming, and literally everything in between.
so, what they’re doing is making everyone who goes against the government in any way a domestic terrorist, and simultaneously making “anti-fascist” a bad thing.
But that’s literally them. They’re the anti-government people who stormed the capital, said the election was rigged, and to hang Mike Pence. They are the domestic terrorists.
right, and by saying antifa did that they are simultaneously whitewashing the group of people who were at that rally and condemning their actions. antifa had infiltrated them, dontchaknow.
What kind of twisted games are they playing here?
it makes sense if you assume they are fascists.
They are justifyng and hiding their terrorism. They are fascists who are currently capturing the state. I am very doubtful that there will be another (fair?) US election if left unchecked.
you’re right. antifa is anti-fascist. we don’t want another hitler. and the reason it’s “controversial” is that the right wants another hitler. they have another hitler. what we’re engaged in now is a war about what truth is. the right wing has captured most of media. so they’re trying to direct their actors to promote the message that antifa is the source of the problems to capture the ~50-60% of americans who never know what’s going on. these dumbasses will be swayed by the most basic psy-op campaign. they are manufacturing consent for that they’re about to do genocide against american community members
Where is the mention of the capitol riots? I feel like I’m losing my mind. Wouldn’t put it past them to try to blame that on antifascists
