Was thinking about this all night after hearing the statement before bed. It reminds me of a right wing ex-family friend that blamed antifa and Soros for everything. Right wingers genuinely think there is a Soros backed terrorist organization called Antifa similar to the Proud Boys, etc (which actually exist) that cause everything they hate.
At the time he was explaining this, it was in regards to how all the college kids protesting Gaza “had the same tents” (aka the cheapest tents on Amazon lol) and that Antifa was backing them. Basically, it’s the propaganda boogyman they’ve used for a few years now.
But here’s what I’m trying to figure out … What happens when you chase after the boogyman? Sure the people in charge are just using it as an excuse to be anyone they don’t like, but if you’re a true believer like the followers, what will constitute evidence of being Antifa? Owning a fucking tent?
Thought they had dropped the Soros thing, haven’t heard that name called out in a long time.
Actually his name got dropped kinda recently, though I forget the context. Like last week on NPR.
“In a follow-up statement, President Trump declared the leaders of antifa to be Bernie Sanders, AOC, Zohran Mamdani, the word ‘Epstein,’ and the eclipse he stared into.”
So … it’s illegal to be against fascism?
For the US, that sounds about right.
Does antifa even formally exist? I thought it was an umbrella term like Anonymous back in the day. No formal membership, just an idea that you either supported or not.
That sounds an awful lot like “antifa talk,” to me…
So while doing lots of shit to create terror in any group that isn’t Nazis, he want to label anti fascist as terrorist…the only terror they cause is to Nazis because Nazis are breaking laws, just like a prison sentence creates terror in criminals… fucking lying traitor terrorist trash president
Somewhat scary given that US has a history of extrajudicial killing of foreign people labeled as terrorists.
Also scary considering Antifa isn’t actually an organization. So they can just say anyone is Antifa.
Anyone can say they’re antifa too. I’m head of antifa for the whole immediate area (my condo).
I should prepare for the incoming death squads, I guess.
You’re not supposed to say the quiet parts out loud 📢
And at least one American Citizen
YOU get a terrorist designation, YOU get a terrorist designation, terrorist designations for EVERYBODY
Facism is mask off liberal democracy
Obama and Bushes “anti terrorism” laws paved the way for how bad this is gonna be.
That wasn’t “Liberal Democracy”. America has been a conservative/neoliberal corporate dictatorship for a long time.
Heritage foundation wrote those laws
Can anyone even name one member?
Sparticus. Luke Skywalker. Jesus. I’m pretty sure i saw SpongeBob at the last meeting, too…
Not a real org and this will be used as pretext to harass us citizens…
It is real! Just like the Lollipop Guild! I SEENT IT!
