It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.
This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦♂️
Stay safe out there!
Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!
antifa is not an organization. It’s more of an identification, and a label that is placed by state media. BLM is an organization that might show up to same event. Anyone protesting Musk/nazi adjacent rules, would be called antifa.
This is a law against protests, where the more fascist the rulers are, the less you are allowed to protest.
Wrote up a summary months ago (with reputable sources!) and warned about Nazis too and was permabanned from Lemmy news and politics for it.
Idk man, you can tell people stuff, but it’s so hard for them to access what’s real right now. There’s a concerted online effort to suppress factual info.
yeah, us congress knows a thing or two about terrorism.
The oligarchs are declaring war on the American population.
How far will they go until We the People get fed up? $10 eggs might be cutting it close.
Where tf do eggs cost so much? Am I really so far out in the country/removed from the shopping that I thought $4 a dozen sounded high? $5 is like, free range lady down the street price but she’s gotta get hers so I don’t begrudge her price.
This is why you don’t let the nazis organize freely. They will always do what you should have done to them. Even when they had Trump on actual crimes they made sure that he would get the best possible chance to get away with it.
My grandfather was antifa and so am I. The 1911 is a solid choice for nazis.
M1 Garand works pretty well too. Just be mindful where you put your thumb.
There are many better choices for automatic pistol today than the 1911.
Few as fashionable though, especially for Nazi killing.
Antifa and Spartacus collab when?
Good! I’m not a Nazi but I think ANYONE that is Anti Nazi is a TERRORIST! And anyone who does a One Armed Salute is a HERO!
They want it again? Oh well, predictable as a clockwork.
An article from 2020, when Trump & co wanted it last time:
What Is Antifa, the Movement Trump Wants to Declare a Terror Group?
What they failed to learn last time:
Rather, antifa is more of a loose movement of activists whose followers share some philosophies and tactics.
As others have mentioned, they didn’t fail to learn it. Broadness and vagueness is the point. It’s a weapon, and broadness makes it a sharper tool to suppress anyone and everyone. Membership isnt a thing. So worst case scenario, they can easily say, “they called trump a fascist, and antifa literature has stated they aim to fight what they call fascism. Therefore they’re enemies of the state.”
At what point is crying fascism going to actually scare people? Because shit like this is definitely scary. They want a reason to arrest you? They look back at your social media and say in 2020 you posted pro-BLM remarks, supported the protests and defended property destruction: antifa.
Fucked up.
Antifa is like communism. Hitler is a communist and thus is evil until he is a smart man whose symbols we should revere and have streets named after him, then he is a nationalist who was assaulted by Poland and had to defend himself and whom the French and British suddenly and unjustly declared war on and claimed that Germans must be exterminated.
‘We cannot rest until the sound of the German language is still heard around the platter we call earth.’ Neville Chamberlin.
You probably realized that most of the stuff I wrote is deliberate bullshit. But there have been so many real examples of stuff written like that (fake quotes, strings of events that were either invented or skewed so badly they cease to resemble reality) that this is what a ‘debate’ with a fascist looks like. We’ve seen it with the whole Haitians are eating cats and dogs. That shit came out of nowhere and despite Kamala rightly laughing at it, people ate it all up and believed it.
Then they will accuse their opponents of being stupid and believing it… until they start to say it is real again when it is convenient. Pathological lying is a feature, not a bug.
Trump’s already half senile, what makes you think he remembers that? Or cares?
If you’re anti Antifa you’re Fa
Trigger warning: German public service broadcasting institution :)The purpose of targeting an organization that doesn’t exist is that anyone who opposes the state can be labeled antifa, and therefore a terrorist.
Guess I really need to pay attention if we have a “Tread of Fascists” flag hanging up then. Somehow it’s potentially legally worse than a Confederate flag in the US? My poor, Union ancestors and very heavy U.S./Pennsylvanisch Deitsche ancestry.
Rose City Antifa is cited in the text of the bill.

It is, but just as an example of “one chapter” of it. Anyone opposing them can easily be said to be Antifa as well.

Check out our backstory here: https://continuetoserve.vet/
I can assure you, we as an organization, have been trying fully understand the context and implications of this since this came up under the first T’ administration. Its a threat but it shouldn’t stop you from considering your next steps and actions, which is exactly what they intend for it to do. The biggest mistake we, the royal we, as a resistance can make is to be caught flatfooted.
The “royal we” means you, not you and us.

This right here. Tyrants make up laws that are nebulous enough that you can charge whoever you want with them.
I’m embarrassed to ask this but what is antifa? Anti-fascist? People who don’t want another Hitler? If so, why is it so controversial and why do they think antifa stormed the capital because that’s the last thing an antifa group would do.
Where is the mention of the capitol riots? I feel like I’m losing my mind. Wouldn’t put it past them to try to blame that on antifascists
It was a bunch of cope/scapegoating that happened on Jan 6.
you’re right. antifa is anti-fascist. we don’t want another hitler. and the reason it’s “controversial” is that the right wants another hitler. they have another hitler. what we’re engaged in now is a war about what truth is. the right wing has captured most of media. so they’re trying to direct their actors to promote the message that antifa is the source of the problems to capture the ~50-60% of americans who never know what’s going on. these dumbasses will be swayed by the most basic psy-op campaign. they are manufacturing consent for that they’re about to do genocide against american community members
antifa is an organized anti-fascist group dreamed up by trump. they don’t exist, and never have. if you look at the things the bill cites as actions by antifa it includes blm, drag queen story hour, random forum posts, the capitol storming, and literally everything in between.
so, what they’re doing is making everyone who goes against the government in any way a domestic terrorist, and simultaneously making “anti-fascist” a bad thing.
so, what they’re doing is making everyone who goes against the government in any way a domestic terrorist
But that’s literally them. They’re the anti-government people who stormed the capital, said the election was rigged, and to hang Mike Pence. They are the domestic terrorists.
right, and by saying antifa did that they are simultaneously whitewashing the group of people who were at that rally and condemning their actions. antifa had infiltrated them, dontchaknow.
What kind of twisted games are they playing here?
They are justifyng and hiding their terrorism. They are fascists who are currently capturing the state. I am very doubtful that there will be another (fair?) US election if left unchecked.
it makes sense if you assume they are fascists.
Lookin’ good America.
We should elect more people that do things like this instead of passing legislation to help struggling Americans.
But, oh no, we already told the party with a voting history proving they do that on a regular basis to go fuck themselves and elected people who want to label ANTI-FASCISTS terrorists instead while releasing 1,500 actual terrorists who performed an actual terrorist act back into our society without serving their time.
Clown country.

The clown:
TAKE THESE AND MAKE SOMETHING BETTER and brilliant… catchy! Record it. Link it. SPREAD IT. Let these people know they will be held accountable. And by these people I refer specifically to one actual person who has ever existed. These lyrics are entirely the work of Imagination and shared as art, free speech, poetry so that others can make great music with them. They are owned by everyone. In fact, I found them somewhere else and pasted them here.
He want to be a big man
But he know he a small man
In private he dress up and do the can can
He all cartoony like gruncle Stan Stan.
He gotta rich friend he think the man man
His rich friend he love the klan klan
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
In the mornin’ he pulling da fire alarma
He just trying to scare you and make up more trauma
He can’t live without all dat drama
He won’t eat middle eastern cause he says he hates dat schwarma.
Bad things gonna come back on him because of dat karma
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
He talkin’ real loud, tryna sound all tough
But we all know he cain’t sell that rough stuff
Big shoes, big coat, but he still bluff bluff
He be flexin’ like he diamond, but he straight Hufflepuff
Million dollar this that, but it all fake fake
Runnin’ round town like he pushin’ that weight weight
Luigi comin’ Luigi comin’
He scared of the dark, leave a night light on late
Tryna act all brave but his heart pumpin’ shake shake
Luigi comin’ Luigi comin’ ‘cause
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
He say he run the block, but he really just rent it
Tried to buy a Rolex, but the price he couldn’t dent it
All talk, no walk, that’s how he designed it
Tryna boss up but his clout been rewinded
He scared of his shadow, jumpin’ left and right
Actin’ like a king but he cryin’ every night
Luigi comin’
Say he got power, but his grip too light
He can’t handle heat, better step outta sight
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
He got a lil’ squad, they be all yes men
Sayin’ “yes sir,” but they all just pretend
He be braggin’ ‘bout his riches, but he can’t even spend
Tryna swing big, but his punches don’t extend
Talk about respect but he ain’t earned none
Still runnin’ from the truth like he stole some .
Lookin’ in the mirror, see a fraud, not a don
Tryna build an empire but the bricks all gone
The two be goose steppin’
The two be goose steppin’
Also… is there a group I don’t know of where talented producers might want to make this themselves for fun because it is a fun imaginative trifle?
Love that they still don’t get that it’s not an organisation.
