Is it just me looking in from the outside not understanding wtf is going on? how can you not agree with anti-facism? Do you want facism? confused in Australian
I think you are right. Anybody that actually knows what a facism has been against it for the last 80 years. But Antifa is really not Anti-Facist. It is obviously their name, but they basically use all the tactics of Facism against anybody to the right of them, which is pretty much everybody. I suspect most of the members do not actually know what Facism is. Now that Trump is gone, they have started attacking Democrats. If nothing else it is getting interesting.
Antifa started out as people who would fight skin heads in the streets of Europe in the 70's. Todays Antifa is a collection of mostly Communist and anarchists who have allied with gay and people of color and use them as cover to try and bring a end to Western Civ.
I'm a man in the middle, I hate the far right, Communist and anarchists! So would love to see them fight it out!
I agree politics is one of the flash points for people that they are willing to fight over. So a natural subject for fighting stories. The basis of my story lefts and rights written 20 years ago. And it will probably be true 20 years from now. I would much rather see us get along politically. We generally have more in common than divides us, but I suspect that will never happen in my lifetime. Especially as we enter a time of Suppression of any voices of dissent in the public square.
BTW, MTG is a tiny person. Matching her up with AOC is a squash match setup... but somehow I would watch it anyway!!!
