Yes, I imagine many of them are anarchists. But I think if you proudly position yourself as anti -antifascist, that definitely says one thing.They are an anarchy group. They don't like ANY government.
Over the past few years, Trump, his base and the authorities have blamed antifa for everything from protesting the president’s inauguration to, most notably, the recent looting and vandalism that have occurred amid peaceful protests over the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man killed by a police officer while repeatedly saying, “I can’t breathe.” Trump allies in Congress are tweeting a desire to “hunt” antifa. Right-wing commentators are citing tweets from fake antifa groups as proof of mass fomenting violence.
. There’s not much more than anecdotal evidence and blurry Twitter assertions that organized antifa groups showed up at the recent protests, executing any sort of “well-trained” tactics.
“It’s this kind of thing that he does, periodically; using the term as a sort of boogeyman that can accumulate all those things that he hates, and take on these super powers that require the full force of law enforcement to neutralize,” he said. “And so, in this case, I think that pretty much the cardinal reason for trotting it out is to create a scapegoat.”

I don't entirely support it either. I dabbled in it when I was younger. The particular group I was associated with had one person who was always defining what was and wasn't anarchist and appeared to determine for everyone else what the correct way was. This person was probably ENFJ, because they were somewhat subtle about it, and sometimes engaged in something called "vibe-watching" for the means of control. But I decided that if this was the way anarchism actually worked, it wasn't for me. I'd prefer they just wear some title and give up the pretense of being "leaderless". Because otherwise, what is the point of any of this?I'm just against anarchy. I don't really consider myself "anti" anything.
Why is this a thing? Name one thing Trump has done that constitutes as "fascism"?
Your wish is granted.
Here's 14 things.
He wanted to. The fact that it didn't work out doesn't change that.Trump did not make himself a dictator.

All the negative talk about Biden shitting in his diaper, meanwhile when it comes out Trump ACTUALLY does this, suddenly it’s a positive
I don't remember him distancing himself from the rioters on January 6th.Okay, that is really easy to say and hard to disprove. So tell me what Trump actually did to put himself as a dictator.

FWIW, It seems the conversation is not in good faith. Nothing you can post or say that's going to get through, because at this point, they're going to keep moving the finish line.I don't remember him distancing himself from the rioters on January 6th.
Probably not. I was getting exhausted anyway.FWIW, It seems the conversation is not in good faith. Nothing you can post or say that's going to get through, because at this point, they're going to keep moving the finish line.
Seems that was the point the whole time. It is an election year after all, there's always a few that ooze in to do it. Makes it impossible to have a conversation, but proves they were never interested in having one in the first place. Its just a song and dance with "free bird seed".Probably not. I was getting exhausted anyway.
