    It tracks that a fascist would present a picture of people who aren’t able-bodied white men and just assume that one should take that as intrinsically negative. It reveals their vile mindset.

      It demonstrates they don’t comprehend basic English - this statement included.

        Never believe that anti‐ Semites fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

    Antifa has leaders?! Since when?

    Also anyone who’s against antifa, is fascist. By definition.

      Anybody who’s against North Korea is against democracy. Anybody who’s against nazis is against socialism.

        Just to be clear, your implication is that Antifa isn’t actually anti-fascist, but is fascist themselves?

        Do you realize how hard it would be for antifa, a decentralized concept that people self identify as, to band together to oppress everyone in favor of nationalism? And what nation would they be oppressing for?

        If you are correct, and I want you be clear that you aren’t and you’re dumb, but if you are correct then I’m fucking impressed by antifa more than ever.

          I think they’re just saying names aren’t always accurate, given the North Korea -> democracy (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) and Nazi -> socialism (National Socialist) examples.

          Antifa is great but sweeping statements based only on a name like the one they’re responding to are definitely not accurate

            This assumes that antifa is an organization of some sort. If you think of antifa as an identity or aspiration the statement makes sense.

              Felsiq is right on the money - it’s a braindead argument regardless of how you feel about antifa.

              I don’t know why people itt keep saying that “it’s not an organization” somehow absolves it of any misdirection regarding its name.

              I suppose a more direct comparison is “if you’re anti-pro-life, you’re anti-life.”

      There is a fucking Stalin on this picture. Please don’t upvote it. Some nations to this day use “Yalta” as a synonym of “betrayal”.
