So everyone who identifies as 'antifa' is or described as 'antifa' by groups who wish to suppress dissent are '*********s' now huh? So what if I consider myself against racism and authoritarianism... would that make me a *********? Or merely a ********* sympathiser...
What about these folk here protesting against an actual murderous ******* party... they *********s?

And once again - in case you didn't understand it the first time round 'antifa' is not a group any more than 'the peace movement' or 'libertarianism' is a group. There are groups that describe themselves directly as 'antifa' but there are also groups with similar beliefs and goals that do not, and the vast majority of anti*******s ain't even part of any 'group' at all but are just individuals that believe that intolerance shouldn't be allowed to flourish unchallenged. It's a belief in the principle that authoritarianism and bigotry should be combated to prevent it from growing into the murderous tyrannies we saw in the 20th Century... some individuals or groups within that broader movement believe in combatting racists directly and meeting violence with violence, some are just messed up mfers angry at the world (same as with plenty of the dudes on the far right), and others - the large majority - elect for peaceful protest and indirect routes such as doxing, letter writing campaigns, vigils and peaceful protests.
Are there those within the broader movement that you could call *********s? Yeah possibly depending on how low you set the bar ... but then there's those that describe themselves as libertarians or 'patriots' that also use intimidation and violence to further their political aims and in fact have a far more lethal record of violence than antifa - does that make everyone identifying as a patriot or 'right libertarian' a ********* or ********* sympathiser... does it make you one?
