The reason people keep saying “antifa means antifascist so if you’re against them you’re a fascist” is not because they’re saying “this organization is antifascist so if you’re against something they do you’re a fascist”
what we are saying is, antifa is literally not an organization, it is literally just a shortening of “antifascist” … all it means is “antifascist” it isn’t a group, it isn’t anything other than just the word.
and people will point to “black bloc” which is literally just a tactic people use to protect the identity of protestors, and call this tactic the organization and not see anything wrong with inventing an organization that’s against fascism and then making it illegal to be a part of when it never existed as an organization, it has no central core with planning and leaders … nothing, it’s a fucking idea.
please think about this before you compare the idea of antifascism to an organization like fucking PETA, I’m losing my mind.
Like please think about why you honestly believe the best time-researched tactics to keep protestors safe in the usa … is a literal organization that should be made illegal.
Imagine you had this friend back in middle school, you hung out with him, you came up with new ideas, you played on the slides, etc., you had fun together, he made you laugh, he was a good friend. Then, you found out that he had died. Obviously, you’re upset, but you can’t let the grief weigh you down. You have plans for the world. Plans that you carry out with your expert tactical skills. You manage to think three steps ahead of everyone else. You pretend to be innocent on the outside, so that the people who killed your friend won’t ever think that you’re a threat. You are. You plan and strategize, eventually becoming the mayor of one of the largest cities in the country. You have your supporters. You have your revolters. Still, you manage to lead the city. You live a good life. Decades pass. You’ve aged. Your memory starts to fade a bit. Still, you can still recall that friend you made, nearly a century ago.
And then that friend just walks right on into your office.
And he’s still twelve.
And a cabbage seller is yelling about his cabbages.
Fey: Very well. When you return home tonight, your mother will be in pristine health again. It will be like she never fell ill at all. Even the memory of her suffering will fade…
Human: Thank you so much. She means everything to me.
Fey: I know, I know. Let’s hope the price wasn’t too much for you after all… Only time will tell.
