I don't support fascism. I'm wholly against it. I guess that makes me antifascist.

Is Antifa even an organization, and not just a general term for people who oppose fascism, which should be the majority of the population?
There is no general "antifa", but there are many individual (often regional) organizations with some form of "anti-fascist" or "antifa" in the name, like "rose city antifa".
In addition, there are many organizations that are not specifically antifascist, but would describe an opposition to fascism as part of their core beliefs. This includes a lot of media organizations.
Lastly, anyone with political views that do not support fascism are automatically anti-fascist.
The goal is to oppress all 3 categories of people.
The post answers that mate
Antifa is a concept (anti-fascism) people can support or not. Antifa isn’t people.

WSWS tend to be sensationalist in its articles, but I agree with them for once on this matter.
A-fascist-says-what?
Well it's a good thing America has a stellar track record on wars against ideas, e.g. drugs, terror, and Christmas. Let's declare war on Opposition, there's no way to lose that one
Same vibe as putin declaring LGBTQ an "extremist organization".
I'm starting to think executive branch having power to name enemies of the state is a bad idea.
@jordanlund@lemmy.world hey, so now that it’s a criminal offense, is .world going to force mods to remove any dissent?
.world already operates like it's run by fascists so it wouldn't be a stretch. Just reddit 2.0 with the mods wills dictating discourse across its communities.
I just wanted to hear Jordan not answer a direct question like the wimp he is
Dunno, our server is in Finland so it's up to the Admins.
Will you moderate anti-fascist comments if the admins say that anything anti-fascist must be moderated?
I can't address a hypothetical like that.
I can say that the Admins I know aren't inclined to go along with anything Trump says, and the guidance they operate under isn't American.
I've also stated before that Trump's noise about Antifa is just that, noise. There's no group to go after and it's likely just his attempt to go after "their" imaginary funding, specifically the tinfoil hat allegations against George Soros. I expect that angle from Trump any day now.

You are not able to say whether or not you would support fascism or not support fascism because the idea of choosing between the two makes you feel uncomfortable in a hypothetical situation that is not so hypothetical that it could not actually happen in the near future?
I'm saying my opinion in an extemely unlikely hypothetical is irrelevant.
The Admins aren't likely to side with Trump, and legally, they have no requirement to side with Trump. If they do, my opinion will be based on how they do it, not a "what if?"
I've quit platforms over lesser things, Fark->Digg->Reddit, but I'm not going to engage in hypotheticals.
Shit tier site.
A recent article:
Escalation in the Baltics: NATO exploits alleged airspace violation by Russian jets for new war escalation
Last Friday, the Estonian Defense Ministry reported that three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets had entered Estonian airspace for several minutes. While the government in Tallinn and NATO allies immediately branded the incident a “provocation” by Moscow, the Kremlin firmly rejected this account. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, there had been no border violation. The aircraft were on a transfer flight from a base in northwestern Russia to the Kaliningrad exclave and had been flying “in strict conformity with international rules governing airspace with no violation of the borders of other states as is confirmed by independent checks.”
In fact, even the map published by the Estonian military indicates that the jets flew parallel to the border and were on a transit route. Nevertheless, the incident is being exaggerated by European governments and the mainstream media to further escalate the confrontation with Russia.
Why post about such an important using content from generate tankie roaches?
Wait a minute.....I'm starting to think this Trump guy might be a fascist.
can we sign an order claiming trump is a terrorist organization?
How is this even an allowed source for "news"?
Yeah... Welcome to Lemmy.
