this is the kind of black and white thinking lemmy does best.
EDIT: i retract this statement. i was wrong
i was severely misinformed about what antifacism is. i was under the impression that "the antifa" was a group by itself instead of a mindset.
You're not pro-fascist, you're just against people trying to stop the fascists. Thank god for nuance.
i hate fascists with a passion, but i might not agree with how antifa acts. i do not have any experience with the group itself, i might even agree with them.
for example, i do not like how the last generation glued themselves to streets. that doesn't make me a climate denier, does it?
EDIT: it seems i misunderstood what antifa is. i always saw it as "the group of violent extremist protesters that throw rocks and light up cars"
again, i am fully for doing everything i can against fascists. but violent protests don't contribute, all it does is make your movement the next boogeyman.
There is no organization Antifa. It's an ideology. So if you are against the ideology of anti fascism, what are you for?
i am against throwing rocks at police and lighting cars on fire in the name of antifascism. you don't get taken seriously if you're the one comitting arson.
Sounds like boot licking, man :(
Never forget the time a bunch of thugs burned officer Chris Dorner alive in a cabin.
