Designation of groups from Italy, Germany and Greece labelled ‘ridiculous’ as experts say no active threat posed
Experts have told the Guardian the same anti-fascist groups the US state department recently named as foreign terrorist organizations and accused of “conspiring to undermine foundations of western civilization” barely qualify as groups, let alone terrorist organizations, and pose no active threat to Americans.
“The whole thing is a bit ridiculous,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, which tracks extremist movements worldwide, “because the groups designated by the administration barely exist and certainly aren’t terrorists.”
In a release put out earlier this month, the Trump administration, which has made no secret of its hatred for leftists in the US and abroad, named Antifa Ost in Germany, the Italy-based International Revolutionary Front, and two organisations in Greece – Armed Proletarian Justice and Revolutionary Class Self Defense – to its long list of designated terrorist organizations.
There are many millenials here right? Do you remember the time when it was a standard being against fascism? It was a synonym for pure evil. Saying fascism was similar to saying concentration camps and genocide.
Now it’s considered ‘domestic terrorism’ in the US being against fascism while they fund an active genocide in Gaza.
The boomers running the show were raised by the people who actually fought against fascism during the Second World War. I guess they all have Alzheimer disease.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t make you a genocidal fascist, don’t let them off the hook that easy. Also turning Alzheimer’s into an insult is kinda hurtful for people who actually have it and their loved ones.
