@aram you're in good company.

@aram who in the world can hate and fear antifascism?
How do we call anti antifascism?

@aram When we (my father included) fought against the fascists in Europe between 1939 and 45 being "anti-fascist' was a matter of course. I remain anti the fascists wherever they are and I am also with David Graeber and others in believing that hierarchies are not a necessary part of a good society and that anarchism has a long and interesting history that ought to be better known. Oh and whilst not violent, you'll find me on the left wing too...! Three strikes!

@aram Criminalization of opponents, rivals & detractors is tyrant 101. But i'm guessing you knew that already. My grandpappy put seven nazis in the dirt during his tour. He swore all his descendants to fighting that sort of thing if it ever arose here.
I bear no illusions. They gonna round us up eventually. Expedience will determine whether we die of neglect in a remote forced labor camp somewhere or in a death camp by intent. Our best odds are fighting it are before getting shipped off.

@aram Beyong wild that the govt would unironically equate anti-fascist to terrorist.

Like, think of how much the overton window was moved for this to be just one of the things.

@aram

White Nationalist agitators and anti-Christ worshippers
Anti-reality and pro-AI tech bros

@aram I feel like you get tagged a terrorist or something absurd when the government cannot control every aspect of your life, my mom was opportuned to make over $920k profit from a crypto investment she did with Erika Kullberg, she got arrested for tax evasion and was tagged a criminal. How are you taxing someone from crypto profits? Mind you she could have lost her money if the investment had gone bad, and the government wouldn't reimburse her.

@aram There's nothing special about being an antifascist.

Simply because it's the only option that is geared toward humanity and not mass graves.

@aram

Are they implying that all antifascists and anarchists are violent?

@aram

I got this tattoo as soon as this fascist asshole was elected a second time. We fought skinhead fascists back in the 80's and we'll fight fascist in suits now.

@aram Well. Power is primary interested in power itself. It just used to wear a mask, but that's gone.

With the mask gone, also is the pretense of logical deduction. It's just simply lists of enemies now.

Authoritarians don't back up, they double down. That's the only thing they can do.

@aram The words "Violent" and "Extremists" are a feint, and a revision or two from disappearing.

@aram I am an anti fascist, because fascism is death.

@aram I am #antifa.

@aram I'm trying to figure out how to organize 100,000 people turning themselves in as Anti-Fascist at FBI offices nationally.

@aram

The rest of the world anti-fascists and anarquists is bigger in numbers than the usa army.

Someone should remind the Orange Pumpking in Chief that was the European allies and the Red Army the ones that won WWII.

The American participation although very appreciated was not so definitive to the end if it.

Plus America is STILL the only that used TWO nuclear bombs on innocent civilians. And is financing a genocide by the Democrats and Republican administrations. Is there anything more fascist than that? Maybe the should be looking for terrorists in their ranks. 😒

@aram
What can be done to completely erase fascism from this world?

@aram oh and they weirdly forgot that right wing terrorism killed more than either of these groups in the last 20 years in the US.

@aram
So which of these groups is most responsible for all the school shootings ?

@aram Time for an "I am Spartacus" moment:
I am #antifascist
I am #antifa
So was my father, a lifelong Republican who proudly served in WWII.

@aram

welcome to the good side, my dad did the same in the Royal Navy.

@aram Oh fun, they're not even using the plausible deniability of referring to "antifa" as if it's a centralised organisation with a concrete set of ideals and goals shared by every single person who has ever so much as posted black and red flags. They've confirmed the thing we were all daring them to confirm when they pretended they didn't know it was short for antifaschistische aktion? Cool, so why are we taking them at their word when they cry about being called nazis?

@aram There was a handy term for people who don't get on with anti-fascists, it's on the tip of my tongue...
