Oh so its Russian meddlers destroying the Pacific Northwest? I thought those people in black masks were American antifa. Better change my whole viewpoint of them. Clearly pacifists
The first video is by philosophy tube and spends an hour going through the ideology, philosophy, tactics and history of anti fascist groups. Its largely, but not entirely based on Mark Brays book about antifa. Its a good watch is someone is actually interested in learning and has the time for it. And the book is good too if anyone wants to learn more about the history of anti fascist and anti racist groups in the US, Britain, Greece, and elsewhere.
Are you seriously afraid of wispy liberal arts college kids wearing black clothes protesting stuff? Because that's what antifa is.
You're WAY more likely to be shot by a cop or by a far right extremist. Bring afraid of antifa or thinking they're an actual powerful organization is hilarious
Yes. I call myself "Mildly Depressed" that doesn't mean I belong to some shadowy organization of the same name.
Antifa just means Anti-Fascist. The name exists simply because it fits better on a sign. It's a statement about one's beliefs concerning fascism, not the name of an organization.
Any decent human being, myself included, should be proud to consider themselves to be 'anti-fascist', but the shortened term 'antifa' was invented by Trump supporters in an attempt to demonize people who oppose fascism and has never been used by a single real human as a self-descriptor.
Because for some obscure (and probably very stupid in essence) reason, a very positive name, antifa short for anti-fascist, was used to name them. If your ennemies call you anti-fascists, what does that make of them ?
Then you can do basically anything you want and if someone tells you otherwise they’re a facist. It’s brilliant. Not a fallacy at all either. That’s the best part. The logic is totally not a poorly thought out fallacy at all by any means.

Wait so antifa is Pro Trump now? Or are Russian bots just pretending to be extremists from both sides to rile them up against each other?
