I still consistently see/hear people saying/writing “I am antifa”. Not “I am against fascism for these reasons…”
Ok, yes, its shorthand. But it also has implications of being “active” like you say. With the implications that our current president and administration are “fascists”, it all implies that you are an active agent working against our current government and system (be it fascist or not).
You better figure this out before to start talking to people in person about this, because if you were in front of me and called me a fascist, like you did just now, you’d be waking up 10 minutes later wondering wtf just happened?
No… I 100% dont want fascism, or the racism and authoritarianism that comes with it, those are specifically undesired. But dont get me wrong, I also dont want this new age brand of socialism that wants to be communism on the downlow.
if you’re against fascism you are antifa
No… why are you trying to put this label on someone/anyone? Im against fascism sure, but dont call me fucking antifa, it isnt the same
if you’re against antifa, then you are pro fascism.
Again, wrong. I am very against antifa, and I am certainly not pro fascism. Screw your assumptions and stereotyping.
You’re over here talking about “basic logic”… stap it
being anti-fascist and antifa are exactly the same thing.
No, they are not the same thing. This is exactly what im talking about. Linguisticly, they arent the same. Politically they arent the same thing.
Being an upright American citizen who is also anti-fascist is not “ANTIFA” just like an anti-communist is not an “Antcom”
Im really hungry for a pineapple pizza right now…
No… lol. “Propaganda” didn’t paint the antifa movement in a bad light. Whatever perception the populace holds about them is their own doing.
Wow… its all fascinating… cuz now you think anyone against “Antifa” is against anti-fascism. Is that right?
Again, anti antifa does not make a fascist. Im anti-fascist, but dont call me a funcking antifa pussy. There is a difference! Im not going to explain it, not my obligation. Continuing to say there is no difference does your cause no good, and makes you appear less intelligent.
The folks who are willing to adopt the identity of “Antifa” are of their own ilk and accord, adopting a sort of persona. And quit trying to pretend this “Antifa” label applies to ww2 vets…
Sure ok, pretty good words. The meaning and connotations of words are fluid are they not. Its beings claimed that “Antifa” is the same thing as being anti fascist, and im trying to make a case that it is not the same thing and shouldn’t be used interchangeably.
Look, I was fooled by that website… mud on my face. But “antifa” has a sort of civil disobedience optics attached to it. Its has imagery related to it, being sights of protest/riot and unrest type stuff.
On a personal note, I see the folks identifying as “antifa” and i dont particularly want to be associated with them at all. Although I do believe I am an anti-fascist. What is one to do.
Well yall made a fool outta me… didn’t ya?
Wait… I thought “antifa” wasnt a group?
