I just can't. Someone explain to me how "Antifa" is Fascist. Please?? Since "Antifa" LITERALLY means "Anti FASCIST". Not to mention we have that entire barrier of Fascism being a RIGHT-WING thing.

If you knew what it was, how its applied, and what that looks like- you wouldnt ask such an asinine question. Leftists are the fascists. Thats supported by what the Left and leftist thugs (ANTIFA & BLM) have been doing. It is evidenced in the tactics employed by the Left.

(25,213 posts)For instance: Gun control - Fascism
Mask Orders - Fascism
Anyone who gets in their face - Fascist
Black bloc - Antifa - Fascist (because antifa engages in street confrontations)
BLM ---(I don't know where they get that from..LOL, but they like to call BLM a hate group because they say BLM
hates them)
Obama - Fascist
Affordable Care Act - Fascism
Seat Belt Law - Fascist
Tobacco Laws - Fascist
Basically anyone who disagrees with them and tries to exert any authority over them is fascist. I remember Alex Jones yelling, "Hitler took the guns away!!"

(3,635 posts)They woke up on third base and thought they hit a triple, and when people try to correct this they feel cheated.
The modern incarnation of antifa came about in Europe as a reaction to the rise of neonazi groups during the 80's and 90's. Violence begets violence, and without fascism there would be no antifascism.
BLM is a reaction to right wing thug cops abusing PoC, women, liberals etc - that has gone on for a long time now. The cops are not politically neutral gov't servants like they should be, but a right wing militia.

(1,442 posts)Lately, I've been mostly using "the willfully ignorant." And, I've thought about going with "the herd mentalists," but the Kool-Aid drinkers would probably take that as a compliment.
I'm also really liking "the mostly, figuratively inbred." Unfortunately, I doubt that it would ever catch on. Still, as the song goes, "You can't please everyone. So, you've got to please yourself."

(32,078 posts)I just finished reading a post that contained a series of posts from a nurse, whose patients didn't believe they had COVID-19, even though they were about to be put on a ventilator. And, one of them is a goddamn Senator, who things the three branches of government are : the President, the Senate, and the House. "Stupid" is an understatement.

(22,976 posts)These jerks keep trying to flip the script on genuine RIGHT WING NATIONALIST FASCISM. It has ZERO affinity for anything on the left. In 1930s-to-mid-1940s Germany, this far right ideology literally eradicated Social Democrats, liberals, socialists, intellectuals, university professors, free thinkers, and finally, Jews, in numbers that stagger a rational mind.
There is NOTHING liberal about real fascism. If there were, wouldnt certain aggressive Trump supporters give up on their anti-semitism, or ditch their Nazi regalia, old German flags, etc.? Why would they want to be liberal? The fact that they absolutely love this shit is borderline sociopathic.
