I had someone tell me that Antifa were terrorists last night, in a European hackerspace. Because demonstrations can be violent.
Dunno who needs to hear this, but I grew up through the Troubles. I know what *real* terrorism is. It's not violent protests, by any means, even if they are unpleasant and you don't like them.
The inflation of that word to mean anything you don't like has to stop. Just hope and pray that you don't end up in a place that has real terrorism. You really don't want that.
@clintruin I like this principle, on the other hand the gay rights movement had a lot of success by owning labels (like gay itself) that were originally coined as negative and turning them positive.
I wonder which tactic makes more sense in this case?
@sherbang
One word "Antifa" was made up for the purpose of confusion and distraction (did you know there are Americans who actually believe the word means anti-family?)
The other word "Antifascism" is an actual world that means exactly what it says.
I think in this case it is best to get people to use the actual word which means exactly what it says.
