It's good to see more trumpian competence in action...

Twenty-nine year old Chandler Patey has been regularly protesting outside his local ICE facility in South Portland for months, offering up his apartment to fellow protesters to use the bathroom or wash off pepper spray, according to local news.

To the Department of Homeland Security, “he is the leader of Antifa in Portland, OR.”

Elementary my dear epstein.

BTW, sounds like a fucking legend. I hope I am so good when the bullshit arrives where I am.

Too bad they miss the current leader of Pedos our commander and cheeto.

Wrong, it's not a man. It's my Aunt Tifa. FFS

Just like they identified Tylenol is the cause of autism…

I mean, they gotta figure out some way to blame the mom before Baron gets diagnosed.

I feel so sorry for the Yanks having to live through this Trumpian nightmare.

John Antifa

*Johnathan Tifa

Edit: came back from the article, his second name is actually Jonathan lol. He must be the son of our former legendary leader Mary Ann Tifa.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 10 points 4 hours ago

Is he related to Tifa Lockhart?

When the leader of a group of anti-fascists becomes the bad guy. American world war 2 soldiers who died on the battlefield must be turning in their graves

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 11 points 4 hours ago

Read it as burning in their graves. Still made sense.

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 22 points 5 hours ago

As yes, the infamous antifa obersturmführer

[–] furzegulo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

I guess it's over then 😟

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 30 points 6 hours ago

Not yet, he's friend with l33t hax0r and the Anonymous man.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 hours ago

They've got em. Our most closely hidden secret leader. What will the cabal do without him?

[–] DrYes@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

better send Kyle Reetenhouse back in time

[–] verdi@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 27 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I see they follow the gestapo playbook. Why use the legal system when you can just say "belongs to terrorist org" and snag whoever you want off the street.

[–] ServantOfRa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 hours ago

I mean, that's one step too many.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Time already did this

[–] Axiochus@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Just so cringe.

[–] Focal@pawb.social 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I really read this as inspirational and cool once upon a time. Part of me still does. There's a lot of good we've done on social media that make my trans friends and family more safe in who they are, broadly speaking...

But there's also a whole lotta bad as well, and it's been increasingly less OUR internet as the tech companies just monopolize and censor and steal data.

I'm not so sure I can manage to find this time mag cover as inspirational anymore.

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

it was a different time. aspirational and naive.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 33 minutes ago

I can assure we some of us were not optimistic.

[–] Focal@pawb.social 4 points 1 hour ago

Naive is probably the exact word for the feeling I have. Good pick
