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"

aka, like that image

"I can't be WRONG because i have a different viewpoint"

thats the problem with pseudo anarchists

they think authority doesnt exist

it does

if a cop says "this area is a frozen zone"

like they did in NYC

thats total bullshit, they made that up
