So being anti-fascist is being a terrorist? I sure am glad most of the WW2 vets aren’t here to witness that everything they fought for would make them a terrorist.
Plenty of the American WW2 veterans moved on to fighting in Korea and then Vietnam.
You're a ~~wizard~~ terrorist, Harry.
If you're atnti-antifa, you're just fa.
Then we can't make things worse by burning the White House to the fucking ground.
I lost track of how many times he's classifed Antifa as a terror group.
At what point does the benefit outweigh the risk of driving around with your flak jacket and 3D printed piece? When do you make the switch from locked away and secret to always ready?
We all know who's on the right side of history, you Nazi f*cks.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
They really are weak and pathetic. They only feel safe when they surround themselves with people identical to them. They would never go to a foreign country or try ethnic food or visit a museum. All of that is too scary. MAGA are nothing but weak, chickenshit snowflakes.
It is WAY past time for the US “left,” such as it is, to earn the labels it’s receiving.
The “if you want to cry, I’ll give you something to cry about” angle is what’s needed.
You’re under arrest for resisting arrest.
Fucking ridiculous.
What's next, democrats are terrorists?
And the Democrats will be decrying Hassan Piker as they are dragged out of their Blackrock housing by Palantir storm troopers and thrown into Amazon reeducation camps
Shhh, your not supposed to say the quiet part out loud.
Yes.
They're working up to it. Maybe they'll organize a ~~Reichstag~~ Republican Headquarters Fire first.
I am Antifa. Antifa means Anti Fascist ... so yea, if MAGAs "hated enemy" is an antifascist movement then they have basically just classified themselves.
It is not just MAGA literally the whole world is fascist. This is why Antifacists are so hated amongst leaders of the world.
Did you forgot about the World Trade protests? Antifacists are at odds with the entire business world AKA big money. The leaders of the world cannot let this movement catch on.
I really hate how media gladly reused this label.
Antifa, pronounced ant-tea-fuh, allowed it to be disconnected from the actual words it was shortened from, and then used as a boogieman.
We all know there is no central antifa command center, headquarters, or organization. We are "antifa" because we are anti fascism.
As you say, you can label yourself, but you can also label yourself by your enemies.
The anti-fascists are Trump's enemies, therefore...
on purpose

Shortly after all the people who fought fascists died, the GOP declares being anti-fascist - terrorism.
Recently had a WWII vet visit my parish. Dude was over 100 years old and was in town for a Pearl Harbor commemoration. He told me that he was among the first group of Allied soldiers to fly over Europe after the surrender and he described seeing people trying to make a life among the rubble of their towns and cities. He then compared this to what he was seeing in Gaza and started to lament the US' support of Israel and how he saw clear connections to what is going on there and what he witnessed in Europe. You're absolutely right, there are now too few living who remember...
Amazing how quickly the meanimg of terrorism changed over the years. When it became ok to hate terrorists, suddenly anyone you hate can be relabeled as one.
I was still an active member of a Baptist Church in the early 2000s and I remember arguing with the leader of my Sunday School group about the dangers of the Patriot Act and how it opens the door to stuff like this. He just waved it away as me being anti-authoritarian and paranoid. Well look who was proved to be right in the end, MATT?!?
Fucking Matt.
The FBI official said the situation was “very fluid.”
Well, heck, I mean they are "radically pro-transgender" aren't they?
If you haven't already, I would start talking to your neighbors and organizing.
We already know the camps exist, and if you've seen some of the images that have been leaked you'll know the conditions are inhumane and cruel. These new labels can be applied to anyone, for any reason. And make no mistake, you don't even have to be in left-wing spaces to be accused and disappeared. So it's not just you in danger, it's everybody around you. It's your co-workers, your family, your friends. All it takes is a wrong place, wrong time.
Organize now, before you don't have that option anymore.

Nice I get to break out the classics
The far right is the real welfare queen. They are the ones who always get state funded weaponry.

Not "antifa", anti-fascists. They're just admitting it now.
Ignores the one group that literally every reputable study says is the most violent in the US: right-wing extremists...
