Most antifa don't even hide their faces and to the extent they do it's because the government has (falsely) labeled it a terrorist organization, so participating in resistance against fascism could get you decades in prison.
These people face no such risks. They're just pathetic cowards who want to intimidate others.
Antifascists, in the rare occasions where they need to mask up, hide their faces from the state (incl police) and from neo-Nazi terrorists who have murdered antifascists in the past.
Fascists hide their faces from their communities. They're such scumbags that everyday citizens know they deserve to be identified and ostracised for their personality and actions.
Could be true. Depends on how you're using the term too. I think people who self-identify as antifa might be more prone to masking. Whereas if you include all people who engage in anti-fascist resistance, which includes a lot of normie liberals and various people, I don't think most of those people are masking.
Care to explain to us how Antifa is organized? Or list some actions they've claimed responsibility for? Or are they just another boogey man fox news told you to be scared of?
LOOK OUT, A TRANS PERSON IS INDOCTRINATING YOUR CHILD!
Yeah, you’re right, a loose ideological affiliation that encompasses unorganized people fighting against fascism is so much worse than a literal, unabashed, openly white supremacist organized actual nazi hate group that operates masked and anonymously to suppress and harm people who don’t look like them because they don’t look like them.
I meant their own organizational documents, I couldn't give a fuck less what this administration has to say about anything or anyone. Find a reputable, organizational document from Antifa. A mission statement, a member list, anything that proclaims itself to be a product of the organization you believe exists.
And what does it matter which piss baby fascist little boys club I call it? They're all the same sad, weak, silly little thing.
I mean resistance against the authoritarian government has been criminalized forever. Trump has made it a lot worse but it's not fundamentally different than what was going on in the past.

I live in a small town in south west france, my small scale actions as an antifascit here earned me to find my full name, adress and phone number on a huge ass list of antifas on pastebin circulating in american neo nazi groups. Can't you guess why I would want to hide my face?
Antifa hides their faces from authorities because they would otherwise be persecuted by the state. Patriot Front has the backing of the state (many of them are police themselves), they're hiding their faces from the people. Antifa are protecting their lives, Patriot Front are protecting their reputation. One is pragmatism, the other cowardice.
If Patriot Front was a state asset then no one would have gone to jail for Jan 6th.
antifa originally hid their faces so they could commit crimes and not be identified. Granted now as an enemy of the State hiding their faces is a necessity because mere associating w/ antifa is a crime.
If Patriot Front was a state asset then no one would have gone to jail for Jan 6th.
Saying this after they all got presidential pardons is just insulting.
Granted now as an enemy of the State hiding their faces is a necessity because mere associating w/ antifa is a crime.
Antifa is an enemy of the state because the state is an enemy of the people. Also, it truly exposes the hypocrisy of right-wingers like yourself when you celebrate guilt by association with an ideological stance (antifa is not even an organized group) after years of proudly proclaiming yourselves as free speech absolutists. You're libertarians when Democrats are in power, but fascists when Republicans are in power. Pretty convenient for you guys, huh?
We found it: the situation in which people are standing on public transportation and you’re sitting next to an empty seat without moving over, but you’re not the asshole
In light of the popularity of these images in response to their stunt, I'd like so share this. It discusses the Australian neo-Nazi equivalent org (the totally-for-real disbanded National Socialist Network), but the message is universal.
They unwittingly hired an antifascist to be their official photographer, which needless to say, allowed activists to gather evidence and resulted in multiple PF members losing their jobs, and attempting to sue as a result (Plaintiffs Paul Gancarz, Daniel Turetchi, Colton Brown, James Johnson, and Amelia Johnson vs. David Alan Capito II)
Antifascists have repeatedly ambushed them, including locating their secret car park where they hopped into a U-Haul to go to a rally
There are videos of them getting beaten into retreat in Philly when they tried to march
There are videos of the Proud Boy fascists attacking up PF-splinter members ('Rose City Nationalists') and ripping off their balaclavas
There was an incident where a regional leader "spent the money on drugs" [source: a neo-Nazi drama podcast called The Absolute State of White Nationalism]
They so poorly planned an action against an antifascist neighborhood, that when retreating, a member almost got hit by a train [same source]
They stopped allowing women when two of three woman members snitched (one of them cheating on a member first) [same source]
They stopped allowing teenagers to join (still grooming them, they just can't officially join) due to a 'homosexual femboy' incident, whatever that means [same source]
Their training videos show such incompetence that they literally can't turn the correct direction when marching [you can find their training videos on the Patriot Fail leak]
At least former one member, when identified as Dillon Oakes, tried to snitch on their org and pretend they were undercover the whole time - "While we do work with former white nationalists who sincerely want to leave the movement, Nazis who pretend to have never been Nazis to escape consequences do not qualify."
Plenty more, might add some more in replies. They're a serious issue, make no mistake, but there are far better jabs to make than "they wear masks and conservatives don't - gotcha!"
I'll have to give that a read, thanks for the recc!
I've started watching an interview video with the author and Kris Goldsmith and already Kris has mentioned they witnessed PF members in 2020 "talk their way through a cost-benefit analysis about deliberately contracting [COVID] and traveling to black and brown neighborhoods to try and spread it" in the belief that members were biologically superior and had better access to healthcare, making potential death "worth the risk".
Sounds like the same wack ass shit that was going on before the Nazis rose to the top of the shit heap in Germany. The Nazis came out of a cesspool situation just like this with rival gangs splintering and reforming and fighting amongst each other until they were distilled into the Nazi party we know and hate today under a charismatic leader.
Whenever I see Socialist used by morobic organizations that obviously don't understand what socialism actually means it makes me want to will smith that name out of their mouth -_-
Sherman really shoulda killed the fuck out of even more of these bastards' grandpappies... we still got a lot of trash to take out, a lot of vineyards to trample.
Guess we get to do this all over again, then.
For a long time I wondered why nothing seems to piss me off more than a racist white man, despite myself being a white man.

I'm descended from an abolitionist pastor that moved to Kansas and to start a free church and town... who more likely than not at least once crossed paths with John Brown.
Look at these cowardly losers. They wanted to murder people for wearing masks to keep from spreading a deadly plague, but today they are too cowardly to show their faces at an event where they are the heroes. That's how you know that even they understand that what they're doing is wrong, and they want to hide their identity in case they eventually lose, and then have to answer for their treason.
U see them wearing white and blue, and the red stripes are the skidmarks from after their grindr hookups which who gives a fuck aside from the hypocrisy
It would be more accurate in my opinion to say that they are continuing the American tradition of white supremacist organizations invading cites they don't live in to intimidate people they hate.
Hmm, I don't see that. They look to be resting fingers curled normally to me. The arm is bent kinda weird however but I think that is just due to the bigoted fascist trying to act tough in a way very unnatural to them.

The white supremacist group’s gathering attracted some counter-protesters. In one video, a man with a bullhorn shouted at Patriot Front members: “Every single one of you justifies the fucking right to abortion.”
