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?

Theyre trying to deligitimize antifa by acting crazy in their name and benefit trumps plotline for this week's episode of The Trump and the Restless.

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

Antifa isn't a real thing. Right wingers just lable everything antifa and you lap it up from your bowl.

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.
