The ambiguity can exist when people have defined "antifa" as a group that takes violent acts to oppose fascism. It could be interpreted as "Please don't shoot nazis in my streets, because I have to get to work".

Still, I find the cartoon funny, and I have a better counter for any statement about antifa: "Name one."

I can't name any individual, but it's the same for fascism

Most of it comes from my personal experience, where basically anything was called fascist. I blame it on a few individuals, but it was a pain

"Don't agree with our view of life and economy, you're a fascist!" stuff like that. Those people fuck up the meaning of antifa. Same thing for the few loud individual who act violently in protests. The rude words and the "war atmosphere" used against the alleged facists surely don't help with this image
