Subject: Re: Antifa at it again in Seattle
please allow us common folk to use shorthand "Antifa" as the collection of bad people assaulting, intimidating and vandalizing somehow coincidentally in 50 cities.

So no. Unless you want us to call you fascist.

Well, wouldn't the proper response be

So no. Unless you want us to call you "Fa"

I would be happy to not join a non organization of "Fa" that are anti-Antifa. You can call me Fa anytime.

R:

Theres sort of a real point here. anti-fascist is a description of people that are against fascism. Antifa is a cutesy neologism that must be a proper noun because everybody seems to capitalize it and it isn't an actual word in any human language and it was what a group of anti-Nazis set up by German communists called themselves back in the 1930s.

So yeah, I'll call them Antifa, and you can call me and my ilk "Fa".

Deal?
