Trump: "The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization."
🤦
I give up. What a shitshow.
@fribbledom what's wrong with that?
I'm very much against fascism and I had no idea I'm a terrorist. That's what's wrong. 🤮
@mister_monster @fribbledom @jordan31 This picture is just stupid. Fascism is obviously a bad thing, being against fascism is the duty of everyone in a democratic society and banning it is actually fascism or at least a forerunner.
@gcrkrause
How is it stupid? I am against fascism. Who isn't? That's like being against murder. I think the image applies perfectly to said organization. Can you be against fascism without supporting a specific organization? Not according to said organization.
@fribbledom @jordan31
@mister_monster @fribbledom @jordan31 its stupid because its imply someone would say something like this, which is obviously not true, trying to delegitimate any antifascist fight just because you may not agree with their instruments.
@gcrkrause
They delegitimize themselves with their tactics and clear authoritarian preferences.
And yes, people do say things like this, all the time. See the post I responded to with that image for an example.
@fribbledom @jordan31
@gcrkrause I've never seen a Nazi burn a city block in my lifetime, just saying. In fact, I doubt I've ever seen a Nazi in my life. If so they his their identity pretty well. If you want to fight Nazis, actual Nazis, try not burning black neighborhoods next time.
@mister_monster wtf do you have any evidence I burnt anything? thats insulting. since this gets toxic now, i end this here. have a good life.
@gcrkrause I'm not talking specifically about you man, I know you're nowhere near the US, using "you" in English is a figure of speech, like using you as an example for "anybody". I don't actually think you torched buildings.
@mister_monster anyway, here is a nazi city bluck burn down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOVE#1985_bombing
check your privileges
@gcrkrause dude there's no reason to get angry. We are still friends (on the internet anyway). We just have a disagreement about something. It should happen all the time between people who talk about things.
That 1985 Philadelphia bombing is bad, no doubt. But I'd make some points: 1) it was 35 years ago 2) every major city in the US is currently experiencing social unrest, as opposed to one example in one city, 3) MOVE was a left wing organization.
@mister_monster yes, move was. and nazi cops bombed a city block, while you tell me it does not happen. should show you you are blind on the right eye.
i am not making friends with non antifascists, sorry dude
@gcrkrause lol you prove my point, I've already said once I'm opposed to fascism, but it is not enough. I must join the cult or be excommunicated. Alright dude, you have a nice life too.
@mister_monster jeah you can try to cuddly nazis down, good luck and happy crying because some cars burn.
