    I guess this is the technical admission that the government is full-on fascist

    Does antifi have any real organization? It's not a real thing is it?

    Thanks I know what it means but there is no existing antifa group, right? I understand a lot of people on lemmy consider themselves anti-facist and that's nice but they're not members of an organized group.

    What I'm getting at is the executive order is targeting something that doesn't actually exist irl. I'm guessing this EO is a reaction to protestors in Oregon during Trump's first term who were wearing masks and calling themselves antifa. Was it a real organization then? Seemed like a bunch of kids to me with no actual leadership structure.

    There is no such group or anything.

    There actually are many groups in the US which have "Antifa" in their name: for instance Rose City Antifa, NYC Antifa, Philly Antifa, Atlanta Antifa, among many others. Obviously this new (completely unprecedented btw) "domestic terrorist organization" designation is also going to be used against many people who aren't affiliated with any such group.

    It's a political cartoon. I don't think I can post it as a text.

    There is certainly something to be said about people asking for someone to fix something rather than fixing it themselves.

    It wasn't exactly hard to just comment on the image what was said. Multiple people pretty much did this.

    About time someone stood up for the poor fascists.

    Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.

    If those institutions are fascistic then fuck yeah!

    Wasn't it one of the founding principles of our government that it can be overthrown and reinstated as the people see fit?
