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"

No. Antifa serves as a RW punching bag and everything gets tossed into it. There are definitely antifa groups. But not every lefty group is antifa. From what I can glean the numbers are small and there's no big recruiting effort. They do exist. 95-98% of what they do is non-violent, but they will go toe-to-toe with Nazi like groups such as Oath Keepers, Proud boys, and regular Neo-Nazis, but that isn't a preoccupation. Because it's good to gin up the base, antifa becomes an over arching word for every group MAGA doesn't like that isn't Muslim. I haven't seen them toss Muslims in there yet.

So it gets overused and misapplied like fascism does. And no, no eal - don't create a bogeyman antifa that has a huge following, but if you do, I have no problem with someone then calling you fascist.
