Antifa is a terrorist organization?

[beej]

Fortunately I have you guys to keep me informed.

What I'm saying he is doing is naming antifa a terrorist organization. It's done. He did it.

There is plenty of evidence.

Do you have evidence antifa is trying to shoot you?

Of course not. They don't know me. But if they did know me, and they couldn't silence me, they would probably kill me.

Google Trump retribution.

If you don't know you probably either don't want to know or refuse to know.

So the New Yorker coins a phrase and runs with it, reframing his and his cabinet's actions as 'retribution'.

You sir, are a charlatan and a provocateur, nothing more. Carry on.

And you're going to stop right there.

Refusing to know and not wanting to know is the same thing.

more common ground. I have been thinking that exact line on this whole thread.

Fair enough.

The thing is, he did this for a reason. Declared a group that isn't a group to be a terrorist organization. I expect soon the "group" will start being populated with real groups the white house decides belong there.

So we'll see what happens in the near future.

In the mean time, it would be good for the country to come to some agreement on what a fascist is.

Just post a definition, like you did with retribution, and start checking the boxes.

Fascist: n, a political pejorative which changes meaning based on the attributes of one's current political foe.

There's no organization? Like they don't have a fucking head office, so they don't count? Wake up boomer, the power structure exists on social media, telegram, signal, reddit and the dark web.

I have dumb questions, so bear with me. I'm boomer adjacent.

I've lived in the Seattle area for close to 45 years now. I have friends who went into the Chaz/Chop zone in Seattle with their kids (during the day of course)  I know quite a few people who live and work in Seattle. I know people who have gone to school in Seattle and have kids who are currently going to school in Seattle. What I don't know, is anyone who knows anyone who claims to be a member of Antifa.

Is there a hierarchy to this, or is it just a group of like-minded anarchists who search each other out on social media and stage hijacks of legitimate planned protests? Are they really Soros funded like we keep hearing?

Pallets of bricks don't just magically show up without some sort of "Planning"...

Is silencing detractors via threats from the FCC, even if they're a comedian, considered "fascism"?
