    Well, considering ANTIFA doesn’t exist, I’d say it’s pretty safe to say they’re doing this so they can label anyone they don’t like as ANTIFA and disappear them.

    Everyone should be arming themselves and helping everyone they know arm themselves.

    Congratulations everyone! We are all now domestic terrorists if we don’t agree with nazi’s and the fascist government we have!

    Thanks republicans! You got what you wanted! Free speech for right wing extremists, and everyone else is labeled a terrorist who can be sent to a concentration camp with zero due process!

    All law and order is now gone, our economy is quickly crashing, and the job market is destroyed. Just as Donald Trump told his voter base he would accomplish, he actually did it. I give Project 2025 more credit than i did before. They streamlined us into Fascist US in less than a year!

    Band Of Brothers is now banned from all streaming, as is saving Private Ryan, fury, and inglorious bastards.

    Those are all terrorist propaganda.

    Is Antifa even a group? Like, do they send out newsletters or some shit? Can you buy a hat? Vote for leadership roles?

    I thought it was more of a political belief. Wouldn’t that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?

    They know that Antifa isn’t real. This way they can call anything Antifa and it’s now a terrorist that has no human rights.

        The vast majority of these tweets allege that Soros is paying protestors to riot, and that he funds antifa. A smaller number claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and enable the globalist takeover of America, while some go so far as to claim that George Floyd’s death was actually a false flag deployed by Soros in order to precipitate the current crisis.

        White supremacists are so fucking stupid. And so fucking in charge of the USA.

              Israel is required to exist for some interpretations of Armageddon in the Bible. They hate them, but they need Israel to exist because it’s central to moving forward with the end of the world and their gods cleansing of the forces of evil and the ushering in of a new world order.

              So keep that fun fact in mind when you hear Christians being really pro Israel.

                  To make it even more WTF, the religions they have the most issue with don’t even have a different diety, just different people saying he told them an updated message on the rules of life.

              Israel is pretty great for anti-Semites; it’s a “somewhere else” to send all the Jews (with much better optics than Auschwitz) and it’s also pure fucking evil, and has its fingers all through many other governments, making their nutjob conspiracy theories actually look plausible sometimes.

                Yeah, the actions of Israel are the number one cause of antisemitism in the world.

                People who don’t know better start at accurate descriptions and righteous outrage over the atrocities committed by the IOF and the Knesset and the rage bait algorithms of social media take them down rabbit holes that lead to the actually antisemitic nonsense.

                Hell, even if you know enough to avoid that, it’s sometimes hard to not be instinctively prejudiced against all Israeli people even if you’re not an antisemite.

                Given that the vast majority of the population has been successfully brainwashed by decades of government indoctrination into thinking of all Palestinians as subhuman threats to their lives and thus are in favor of the oppression as long as the Israeli casualties are kept to a minimum, I must admit that I sometimes struggle with it myself…

                Fascists of any stripe don’t have any problem with their perceived enemies fighting their other enemies on their behalf.

        It feels weird that people say that “antifa isn’t real”. There’s tons of groups using that name and symbols while doing Antifa type stuff. It’s just not a singular organization but rather a loose collection of separate groups.

    • Looks like they’re drafting this with wild ambiguity and setting up for RICO.
    • Being Anti-Fascist is an idea.

    This is McCarthyism all over again, which should come as no surprise considering Roy Cohn mentored Donald Trump.

    Weird they are focusing on this but not releasing the Epstein Files as promised.

    If Antifa even was a terror organization in the US it would be one of the most ineffectual ones in existence given the state of the US.

        Sure, but they ruined a lot of lives and killed a lot of people in the name of the war on drugs and terror. Doesn’t have to be successful to be a shit idea and end up hurting a lot of people for no reason.

        Im of the opinion that hurting people is bad. But thats a controversial opinion in the U.S. government these days. You should be asking yourself, are you hurting the right people?

    I don’t understand why it matters. Antifa from what I understand, is anti fascist. Is America fascist, so they need to be afraid of this ‘idea’?

    I already know the answer, I just don’t understand why more people especially journalists aren’t asking it.

      Both. That’s how fascism operates.

      I used to think that they were constantly paradoxical to obfuscate their message, but I’m more recently convinced by their anti-intellectual fervor that they might just be so stupid they don’t understand paradoxes.

      Just need to make some kind of group that can be denied rights and then start designating everyone you don’t like a part of that group. Antifa being that group is just typical Trump laziness and an exercise to see how far right his base actually is.
