    Love this argument.

    You wouldn’t know a fascist if it grabbed you by the pussy.

    And that’s like saying “If Black Lives Matter were actually black” or something. Antifa isn’t a group, person, or organization…it’s an idea. Much like BLM or Occupy.

    The real problem is that the idea ends up losing focus as it gains support, and then it gets spread out too far, and then it dies. Happens nearly every time.

      Love this argument.

      Me too!

      You wouldn’t know a fascist if it grabbed you by the pussy.

      You’re correct. I wouldn’t. Because I don’t have one.

      Antifa isn’t a group, person, or organization…it’s an idea.

      Tell that to it’s supporters.

      Much like BLM or Occupy.

      Wrong again.

      The real problem is that the idea ends up losing focus as it gains support, and then it gets spread out too far, and then it dies. Happens nearly every time.

      Well unfortunately this one persists.

        Antifascism is an idea. There are groups centered around said idea, but “big antifa” isn’t a thing.

        Being anti-antifascism is pro-fascism.

        BLM and Occipy aren’t organizations. There is a BLM organization. But that’s like if I created an organization called Feminism. That wouldn’t make Feminism an organization. That just means there’s an organization based on the movement.

        Feel free to take a seat.

      I think you are mistaking infiltration for ‘getting spread out too far’.

      Nearly all of what you describe can be most easily attributed to planted agitators.
