    Since it isn’t a real thing, they have all the space required to define it by deciding who is and who isn’t. They’ll just keep saying people are antifa without evidence or proof. Once gossip and opinion started being treated as fact, this became inevitable.

      They’ve already said that it’s a named organization. So nobody is Antifa.

      Maybe next Trump will declare the Illuminati a terrorist organization.

        Easy way to tell when power obsessed idiots do stuff like this in order to designate anyone a terrorist, is when they name an organization that doesn’t exist so that when nobody is antidict, everyone is potentially antidict.

        It’s a political cartoon. I don’t think I can post it as a text.

          here, i think i got that right
          hovering over the image should give you the “Lesson: Double Negatives. I’m anti-antifa. I am anti-anti-fascist. I am fascist” text

            That is a title rather than an alt attribute, and is a (partial) transcript of the text in the image but it lacks a description of the context.

            better version

            ![a comic strip showing Donald Trump wearing a t-shirt which says "I'm anti-antifa". Behind him a woman is finishing writing four lines of text on a chalkboard: "Lesson: Double Negatives", "I’m anti-antifa", "I am anti-anti-fascist" (with each "anti" crossed out), and finally "I am fascist"](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.ca%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F7c2ed146-ee52-4f0b-89b0-ce403f9e9f35.jpeg)

            making it an alt attribute instead of a title attribute means it won’t show up as a tooltip, but (I think?) it will be read by more screen readers than it would as a title.

            There is certainly something to be said about people asking for someone to fix something rather than fixing it themselves.

            It wasn’t exactly hard to just comment on the image what was said. Multiple people pretty much did this.

              Because the disruption is the point. Not fixing a problem. It’s literally in the CIA’s manual, and I guess the mods really don’t want folks to know that. Pretty suspicious.

    Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.

    If those institutions are fascistic then fuck yeah!

      Wasn’t it one of the founding principles of our government that it can be overthrown and reinstated as the people see fit?

      Antifa Just means Anti Facism. If you’re against facism, you’re Antifa.

      Any means telling you otherwise are either fascists or people making Jokes to fool fascists.

        Thanks I know what it means but there is no existing antifa group, right? I understand a lot of people on lemmy consider themselves anti-facist and that’s nice but they’re not members of an organized group.

        What I’m getting at is the executive order is targeting something that doesn’t actually exist irl. I’m guessing this EO is a reaction to protestors in Oregon during Trump’s first term who were wearing masks and calling themselves antifa. Was it a real organization then? Seemed like a bunch of kids to me with no actual leadership structure.

            There is no such group or anything.

            There actually are many groups in the US which have “Antifa” in their name: for instance Rose City Antifa, NYC Antifa, Philly Antifa, Atlanta Antifa, among many others. Obviously this new (completely unprecedented btw) “domestic terrorist organization” designation is also going to be used against many people who aren’t affiliated with any such group.

              Gotcha. I See it more as identification rather than being an actual group. If you can follow me. I dunno how to explain it better…

          There are many antifa groups. Anti fascist action is best preformed in groups. It’s dangerous work.
