I'd like to designate mine to total the amount of $10,000,000 please.

The president of Antifa won't be getting any sleep tonight, that's for sure.

Antifa LLC stonks plummeting.

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

DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 350d

It is.

And most Americans won't realize it has happened until it personally affects their lifestyle, which will be far too late.

And branding the Democratic Party as the political branch of Antifa

noscere@sh.itjust.works · 23 pts · 350d

Man I wish I was living in the timeline where the Democratic Party was the political branch of Antifa.

Hylactor@sopuli.xyz · 36 pts · 351d (1 reply)

organized riots

Huh?

khannie@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 350d

It's a good oxymoron alright.

PunnyName@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 351d

I am Antifa.

Also, executive orders aren't laws.

Please don't post pictures of text. Blind people can't read this message.

You could write a description of the image and put it in the alt text like this

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.

surph_ninja@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 350d

Because the disruption is the point. Not fixing a problem. It’s literally in the CIA’s manual, and I guess the mods really don’t want folks to know that. Pretty suspicious.

quick_snail@feddit.nl · 0 pts · 350d

Of course you can. Explain what you see like you would to a blind person.

Oh America...

Get it the fuck together.

Reverendender@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 351d

It seems that we can’t. When we are gone, please learn from our example, and strive to make the world a better place.

teagrrl@lemmy.ml · 23 pts · 351d

Ridiculous.

Formfiller@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 350d

This is where they start disarming, kidnapping and disappearing us for being against fascism. Let the witch hunt begin

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.

There are many antifa groups. Anti fascist action is best preformed in groups. It's dangerous work.

See also "affinity group"

...wait.... you aren't paying your monthly antifa membership dues?

NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 350d

We should kick him out if he's not paying, how else will we stay organized?

He can go join the fascists.

DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 350d (1 reply)

It's not an organization. It's a boogeyman they're using to try to justify imprisoning and murdering liberals.

Welcome to McCarthyism

minorkeys@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 350d (2 replies)

Since it isn't a real thing, they have all the space required to define it by deciding who is and who isn't. They'll just keep saying people are antifa without evidence or proof. Once gossip and opinion started being treated as fact, this became inevitable.

zarkanian@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 350d (1 reply)

They've already said that it's a named organization. So nobody is Antifa.

Maybe next Trump will declare the Illuminati a terrorist organization.

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!

pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 350d

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

Poor Aunte Fa, we barely knew her

About time someone stood up for the poor fascists.

DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 350d

Everyone reading this should be arming themselves and everyone they know as fast as possible.

pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 350d

Bro there is no Antifa. And the only people who should be scared of Antifa are fascists

SMH Declaring the fictional antifa a terrorist organization while leaving real organizations like EVIL on the table.
