It's time to call antifa what they are -- terrorists

This thread will flame out in 4 . . .3 . . .2 . . .

Anti-fascists who act just like fascists. Oh the irony...

one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

I don't think "Antifa" is a legitimate thing. The name sounds like something an Eastern European would come up with, convinced it sounded clever and "American." It's a fake movement, meant to make Trump's enemies look bad.

The terrorist Emmanuel Goldstein must be destroyed for the good of the Party and all of Amsoc. Only then can life be doubleplusgood.

My local branch of Antifa is well known for wearing masks, smashing windows and bashing innocent people in the streets in broad daylight.

I just found some threatening graffiti in my neighbourhood which screams 'Make Racism a Risk They'll Regret!.'

Yeah, Antifa is about as dangerous as the so-called New Black Panther Party.

Or an elderly, toothless golden retriever.

A fire fighter fights against fire. A crime fighter fights against crime. A bull fighter fights against bulls. A freedom fighter fights against... freedom?

There is no "Antifa." It is just a right-wing fantasy designed to scare you.

Stories about them quickly get swept under the carpet:

The rifle-wielding attacker who tried to burn an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Washington over the weekend wrote a self-justifying manifesto repeating many standard Democratic talking points about the border crisis and other issues.

In a three-page document posted on Seattle TV station KIRO’s website, Willem Van Spronsen cited popular left-wing historian Howard Zinn, said that “i am antifa,” criticized the Electoral College and accused the U.S. of running “concentration camps” on the border.

Van Spronsen, armed with an AR-15 assault weapon that his manifesto encouraged others to acquire to bring about a revolution, attacked the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma around 4 a.m. Saturday. He threw “incendiary devices” and set vehicles before officers shot him to death as he was trying to ignite a propane tank.

In his manifesto, he called the detention facility “an abomination” and that he was “not standing by” as it operated.

“i really shouldn’t have to say any more than this. i set aside my broken heart and i heal the only way i know how- by being useful. i efficiently compartmentalize my pain… and i joyfully go about this work,” he wrote.

He indicated that he intended the attack as a suicide mission, writing that “i regret that i will miss the rest of the revolution. thank you for the honor of having me in your midst. giving me space to be useful.”

Antifa activists declared him useful, too.

Seattle Antifascist Action called him “our good friend and comrade Willem Van Spronsen” and said he “became a martyr who gave his life to the struggle against fascism.”

The group went on to call for more such attacks in memory of Van Spronsen.

“We cannot let his death go unanswered … May his death serve as a call to protest and direct action,” the group wrote on its Facebook page.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was asked Monday by the Daily Wire whether she would denounce antifa and whether she was to any degree responsible for the attack, since Van Spronsen repeatedly used her “concentration camp” language.

She ignored the reporter.

It didn't take her long to start acting like all the other assholes in Washington.

You should become mayor of Rothertham or Cologne.
