Wait... I thought "antifa" wasnt a group?
And Brian isn't the messiah.
Antifa is shorthand for “anti-fascist.”
Anyone that opposes fascism is Antifa.
You can get your membership cards here: antifa.org
How 'bout the anti-fascist who dont want to be lumped in this same group? Error not group, right? Either way, these folks can be "antifa" all they want, just dont make the fucking mistake that because im anti-fascist that i am also antifa. And dont tell me there isnt a difference. Thats bullshit. And yall need to quit calling vets from ww2 "antifa". They dont like that shit.
Lol "antifa" isnt a group!!!" "Now go to our website antifa.org for membership. !!! Wtf?!
You have to be a troll. Nobody can be this big of a bellend.
The link literally goes to a site that says it's not a group and links the post from Trump stating that antifa is a terrorist group 😂.
I'm sorry to say that if you consider yourself 'anti-facist', you already part of Antifa. There is literally no difference between the two. None whatsoever. Zero.
Stop letting conservative media trick you into thinking there is. The alt-right just needs a "they" that they can attack and latch on against, and "ANTIFA" is the scary boogie man that they've persuaded you exists. It's just a bunch of people that say, "I'm anti-fascist." That's it. That's all it is.
Sorry to burst your bubble there Cletus.
if calling someone antifa make them upset, then they can fuck off and cry their fascist tears
Click the link. I think it'll clear some things up for you.
Well yall made a fool outta me... didn't ya?
Antifa isn't an organization.
Antifa is a loose classification which amounts to "Anyone who is antifascist and active"
Its may not fit the classification of "organization", but it is a group, of sorts. They have a website... I mean, right?
Edit AND membership!! I shouldn't leave that out
No, because there's no antifa 'organization' that could credibly speak for the movement. It would be like finding a website for Pineapple-on-Pizza lovers and asking if that was 'the' Pineapple-on-Pizza-Lover website. The answer is no, because Pineapple-on-Pizza-Lover is describing an inclination, not membership in a group.
Or, for a more innate example, asking if "the Asians" have a website. Asian is descriptive of a (subjective, generally phenotypical) quality, not of membership in an organization. You could find any number of websites by Asian folk, or catering to Asian folk, but it's not "The Asians have a website."
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.
Because of propaganda trying to demonize antifa/being anti-fascist. Congrats, you fell for it.
Get over it, it doesn't matter. You don't get to choose who shares your ideals any more than you get to choose who likes pineapple on their pizza.
You can’t just move away from the false statements you’ve made by filling comments with paragraphs of your feelings. Antifa is not an organization and they do not have a website. The rest of your feelings you’re talking about are invalid because your point is invalid.
