    Antifa stands for Anti-fascist, correct?

    They are terrorists?
    That’s what it stands for. Due to the habitul whattaboutism from trump supporters when he’s criticized, violence that broke out during counter demonstarations (which has always happened) was pinned on antifa. Therefore antifa = neo-nazis (an actual domestic terrorist group). Apparently antifa is now more of a threat than white supremacists.

    I agree that a group called Antifa doesn't fucking exist! I'd say that just about every rational person at least since Nazi Germany is 'Antifa' in that we all should be against fascism.

    I'm anti-fascist. Does that make me a proud member of the alt-left?

    Only if you like dressing up and causing chaos and non-civil disobedience.  

    It's a group that is doing everything they stand against when they go to tearing shit up but it is against Trump supporters whom they say are the actual fascists...

    Although the guy in the video I posted obviously didn't die, he was diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage among other injuries. From what I've read, he's been critical of Antifa in his articles and on his twitter, but that's still no reason to gang up on him.

    Many states actually having anti-masking laws...mostly put into place back in the day because of the KKK. But Oregon isn't one of those states. Here's a list of which states have those laws, which don't, and what the laws actually are...

    It should be a federal law...just cowards and thugs...far right/left thugs need to be jailed.  Protest peacefully or go to jail...

    I think most places have the same view.  Oregonians have just taken it upon themselves to turn their state/city into a shithole and let these thugs run wild.

    Antifa- a bunch of fascist thugs posing as people opposed to fascism.  

    I say, round up the Proud Boys and the Antifa bums, give them all the weapons they can carry, and put them on an Island and be done with the lot of them.
