OH YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT BE OK WITH THIS! NOT AT ALL! Quote Another concern is the misapplication of the label “antifa” to include all counter-protesters, rather than limiting it to those who proactively seek physical confrontations with their perceived fascist adversaries. Do you trust the government of the United States of America to fairly, rigorously, and accurately differentiate between "violent" anti-fascists and the "peaceful" anti-fascists? This is a trap that's been set for "liberals" to blithely walk into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for protestor to become synonomous with terrorist here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought ANTIFA was more of a movement than an actual organization. It doesn't appear so. Living in Portland, I know there are local organized antifa groups, and I just assumed they were apart of a larger centralized structure, but I was wrong.

Ricofoley Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 It's not an actual organization in the sense that there's any central leadership of any kind. Which means that the practical effects of this would be that they would just target anyone who's ever googled, like, "why Antifa gud?," which they 100% will consider a feature and not a bug. Oh, just an unrelated reminder, 10 Democratic senators just voted to let Bill Barr warrantlessly obtain a list of anyone googling certain search terms.

Not for the purpose of sending people to prison, but for arresting and making their lives' miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the many subtle ways racism has pervaded every aspect of government policy I did my city’s citizen police academy and they talked about how walking the beat, or at least having police officers on bicycles did wonders for community engagement. It’s worth it in communities that can support it, and can definitely be done in areas that you see the most police and citizen issues (inner city).
