Antifa has all kinds of people. Mostly anarchist though.
Antifa started in the Nordic nations and spread to America and even India. I'd say they aren't all that lazy
(((They))) are good at spreading bad ideas, just look how far (((they))) spread communism.
It’s important to note that Antifa is a recruitment tactic that communist have used since WW2 . This NYT article covers it.
“ When New York City was the capital of American communism “ by Maurice Isserman on The New York Times Red Century 5/40
Whimsical look back on the highest point of power for communism in America, and its center of power, NYC. It also highlights a communist tactic of using immigrants and Anti-fascist alliances for recruitment. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

but Antifa recruits for both sides,
they recruit communists on their side, and through their actions they scare people to the opposite faction
antifa is not mostly anarchist
they are mostly communist
some might claim to be anarchists
but anarchists, real ones, dont use force against others
Isn't antifa Socialist?
since antifa wants a state to solve their things, communists don't want a "state" anymore
antifa is literally the name of an organization founded by the communist party of germany in the 1930s
(well... the full name is)
they are authoritarian communists
and the far left is fucking evil
they use words like "anti racist"
while being racist as fuck
and anti fascist while pushing for a drastically similar political situation
can't be evil if you're "fighting evil"
Cuz only good fights evil
or something like that :p
they change the meaning of words on purpose to confuse the layman
the people that founded the german 1980s antifa have either moved on and are anti-antifa now or were complete ideologs from the beginning.
I don't think its to "confuse" per say, but more to broaden the definition, because then you get to define the boundries whenver you please
When i say "We" for example, i can mean either we in this chat right now, we on this channel, we as the "sane" people, we as the world, we as humanity
this is shown by how they call others racist, but they're not being racist themselves, because they changed the meaning of racism to just be a vague term they can define on a whim
and the "confusion" you're talking about is the tactic of STAYING vague,
So that the person who you're trying to convince fills in the gaps themselves
it is to confuse people... you take a bad word, broaden the scope, call someone on the fringes of the broadened definition out and the layman assumes that the person called out is part of the initial definition
yeah but i don't see that as confusing, i see it as staying vague so a person will fill in the gaps of information themselves
Or narrow a bad word to apply to specific kinds of people
"they change the meaning of words on purpose to confuse the layman" this is a happy side-effect of post-modernism. you can deconstruct any text to give it any meaning you want.
Like "racism"
nah... staying vague is not really the same as broaden the meaning of a word, i think
like that Jesse Lee Peterson interview where he asks a woman wheres the proof of "white privilege" and she responds with "All around, i just wish i'd seen it before"
And when he asks to define it, she can't, and only gets appalled that he "can't see it"
The above audiobook is a great resource for anyone wanting to really understand how we got here.
On quora every person "discovering white privilege" seems to have a personal story, and nothing else
well its not the same, staying vague is a tactic
You broaden the meaning, but don't define the outer bounds, so that when you don't give any extra information, a layman will use their own definition to apply at what you're pointing to
"I was waiting for a taxi with Tyrone and the taxi only stopped for *me*"
"I went to a mall with my brown friend and the cashier asked *me* for cash"
i'll summerise that audiobook in 1 image for you Atkins 😛
Have you actually read the book or listened to the audiobook?
Because that's not the the summary at all.
I didn't bother, but its the gist of Post-modernism is "You can't be an authority on something, because i with my experience might have a different take of events, so your view of things can't be the right one"
aka, "I feel like i'm right, therefore you can't say i'm wrong"
