The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is what I’ve maintained this entire time. Glad you agree.

It's not what you've maintained this entire time. You've maintained that people on this board believe that Antifa doesn't exist. We've tried - repeatedly - to tell you that what we believe is that Antifa is not an organization in the way that the IRA was an organization. You've consistently pushed back on that, erroneously maintaining that Antifa was like the IRA and that the individual Antifa groups were analogous to cells of the IRA.

All of that is wrong. These Antifa organizations aren't "cells" of some larger organization. There isn't a larger organization for them to be cells of. These various different and independent groups may share common goals and practices, in the same way that the IRA and the INLA (or Hamas and the PLFP) share common goals and practices but are not themselves part of some larger macro organization.

If you are now (finally at long last!) recognizing that there isn't some large "Antifa" organization of which all these small groups are "cells" of, and that Antifa is a set of beliefs and not an actual organization, then perhaps you can stop falsely telling the board that we don't believe Antifa is a thing whenever the topic turns to this.
