Ok, listen up kids. The anti prefix is not a negative. So double anti is not the same as no anti. Let’s give an example.

A gun is a device intended for self defense. So you can call it an anti-murder device. If you are anit-gun, therefore anti-anti-murder device, it does not mean you are pro murder. You may be anti-murder and still believe there are too many disadvantages to a gun.

So you can call it an anti-murder device.

Yes, but you can also call it a murder device. So when you say “anti-gun” and follow your logic we don’t know if you’ve meant you’re anti-defense or anti-murder. The ambiguity exists because of how you framed your example by attaching an inconsistent purpose for the gun.

The same ambiguity does not exist for anti-fascist.

The ambiguity can exist when people have defined “antifa” as a group that takes violent acts to oppose fascism. It could be interpreted as “Please don’t shoot nazis in my streets, because I have to get to work”.

Still, I find the cartoon funny, and I have a better counter for any statement about antifa: “Name one.”
