The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

So whether your use of Antifa as a shorthand doesn't imply asserting of the existence of an organization, other conservatives (like Turley) will sometimes use Biden's correct insistence that Antifa is not an organization as a criticism of the President. And it's appropriate to point out that criticism is wrong. - albaby

================

Agree, pointing that out is clearly correct terminology. There is no identifiable overarching Antifa organization as has been your point. However, it seemed to me the dialogue on this board had become sidelined by a debate over definitions and lost was condemnation of the underlying behavior. And Antifa is effective as shorthand, for the less linguistically blessed, despite it's use upsetting the tender sensibilities of some. That's all.
