It still makes me giggle that the far right chose "Antifa" as their boogeyman. You can ask any of them what it stands for, half of which just say radical liberals that are trying to take over America. Then tell them it means anti-fascist, ask them what from with being against fascism, and then watch their heads spin while glowing red. Good times.

I think this is better presented as:

"Oh wait you are FOR fascism?"

"No I'm just against antifa."

"There is no like, regulating body for this 'antifa'. It's just what the fascists labeled anyone who isn't supporting fascism. If you aren't a fascist, then you are antifa."

We get a new word for "people I don't like" every five years. Almost like its some kind of marketing gimmick that a handful of right-wing news outlets cook up in a think tank back room and then roll out as a fashion statement.

Antifa, Marxist, Leftist, Wumao, Tree Hugger, F-ggot, N-, the terms echo through history.

ask them what from with being against fascism

Well, everyone knows that Fascism is when you're a National Socialist. And that means the Real Fascists are Socialists, which is what the Antifa are, which means Antifa means Fascist.

As a True Patriot, I'm standing up against your evil foreign mind virus by speaking the Secret Truth that They Don't Want You To Know. And that Secret Truth that nobody will let you say is how Middle Aged Wealthy White Men are the natural leaders of society who make everything better. When they're not in charge, when they're not in control of ever facet of socio-economic policy, when they're not in a position of Strength and Pride, the country goes to shit. And that's when the Antifa Fascists come crawling out of the woodwork to spread the disease of dissent and rebellion against the Natural Order.

You either let good Christian American Men lead this country to its inevitable Utopian Future, or I have every right to murder you in self defense. That's what it means to be Against Fascism. So are you with us, or are you with the terrorists?

That's a big different between the left and the right.

The right want certain people to have certain basic rights.

The left want everyone to have the same basic rights. Even if they are hated.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's why I call myself "so far left I got my guns back". Even though I have no guns. If wanting everyone to have their needs met is anything other than basic human decency I don't know what you'd call it.

Conservatives are just mean people with nothing better to do than hurt others. Like people who pull wings off bugs.

My formerly conservative mother is becoming more and more "apolitical", because the right often wants to do things solely for the sake of hurting others, and the "reasons" looking more and more like just excuses to her my bullies made up to justify their actions.

Bullshit. A Nazi whose arm gets broken outside the context of someone defending themselves against them only creates an angstier angrier and more radicalized Nazi. It's more counter productive than people like to think.
