#Antifa
– just for the record: I pronounce it Anti Fah

but that's just me.

#MarkBray 'OK, if you don’t think that it’s appropriate to physically confront and to stand in front of neo-Nazis who are trying to organize for another genocide now, do you do it after someone has died, as they just did? Do you do it after a dozen people have died? Do you do it once they’re at the footsteps of power? At what point? At what point do you say, "Enough is enough," and give up on the liberal notion that what we need to do is essentially create some sort of a regime of rights that allow neo-Nazis and their victims to coexist, quote-unquote, "peacefully," and recognize that the neo-Nazis don’t want that and that also the anti-fascists are right in not looking at it through that liberal lens, but rather seeing fascism not as an opinion that needs to be responded to respectfully, but as an enemy to humanity that needs to be stopped by any means necessary?'

@jd Any means necessary? So are there now bombings of the Nazi rallies, assassinations of their leaders and are their establishments being systematically torched down? No... Maybe because even antifa does, to a degree, understand the violence (at least on itself) won't make it. You lost hundred thousands men 70 years ago and the Nazi are here again. Funny to claim that the solution is to punch them some more.
@pony @jd Any means necessary doesn't mean all means instantly. It means any means deemed necessary by those trying to take action. Assassinations backfire, they create martyrs. Punches create butthurt, cowed Nazis who aren't as quick to spread their hate.
@abgd @pony 'Any means necessary' could also mean voting if that was the best tactic – it is funny that people assume the phrase could only mean violence.
