Coffee PinewoodAnd here a semi-regular reminder.
Antifa literally just means 'anti fascist'.
It's not a club.
And if you 'oppose' the idea of being against fascists then I shall call you by name...
You fucking fascist.
scott@coffeepine to be fair there are _some_ clubs/gangs that use "antifa" in their name (NYC antifa) and others that are explicitly antifascist but don't use the name (fsu).
many people dishonestly conflate and confuse these clubs/gangs (a tiny number of people) with the global community of people who oppose fascism (like a billion people at least)
and others use the style ANTIFA to sort of imply a sinister shadowy organization like ISIS or CIA
Political Janitor@scott @coffeepine the word gangs feels harsh in connotation. Organizing under the common goal of erasing fascism is a good thing no matter the context.
@fiveEyedBeast @coffeepine I think gangs are morally neutral. There are good gangs and bad gangs. Antifascist gangs are good. Police gangs are bad.
