{Knowing the government will definitely look into this post, I'd say be careful or not with what you'd say}
Antifa is a far-left militant political movement of autonomous, self-described anti-fascist groups in the United States. The term is loosely used to refer to anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobia, as well as anarchist and anti-capitalist groups. Unlike the traditional left, the ambit of self-described antifa groups is to oppose Fascism in direct action. These groups are usually anti-government and anti-capitalist, and furthermore their methodologies and tactics are more aggressively violent and anarchistic than those of associated groups in the far left.
According to The Economist, the "word Antifa has its roots in Anti-Fascist Action, a name taken up by European political movements in the 1930s" and which was revived in the 1990s, particularly in Germany. Peter Beinart writes that "In the late ’80s, left-wing punk fans in the United States began following suit, though they initially called their groups Anti-Racist Action, on the theory that Americans would be more familiar with fighting racism than fascism." Antifa groups are known for militant protest tactics, including property damage and, sometimes, physical violence. Antifa focuses more on fighting far-right ideology than encouraging pro-left policy

When I first saw this I was thinking I've never seen in my lifetime white organizations fight physically other white hate organizations. This seemed new to me and yet made sense, since racism in America and in the world as we know it was inseminated by them THAT it should also be eradicated by them.
Abolitionists were the closest thing I could think of (since I take credit away from some of the individuals who fought in the Civil War without knowing slavery was the issue they were fighting for.). -
Fed thread for real this time

Hell nah I ain't joining but I ? with them... That's a noble cause

Fed thread for real this time
really? I'm a fed? When the joking is all put aside and folks see people doing real things this is how some reply?
Alot of people talk about racial issues and say a ton, but when it comes to even saying you can side with a group that is willing to take action beyond marching for basic human rights y'all hold your tongue.

Would black people agree with their methods of beating the ? out of racists? Yes
Could black people join and get a slap on the wrist as some angry young white millennial?
? no

I want black folks to remember white supremacy can exist on both sides of the racial issue. Theyll slaughter each other all day, but its still about whites holding all the power at the end.
-
Never heard of them.
-
Any instance of white people joining up concerns me
-
Anti-racist. Anti-homophobic. Which side has priority when things clash? I'd bet money that the anti-homophobic side gets more attention. It always does when everything gets thrown in the ? like this. Don't be fooled. They need your support but that doesn't mean they support you.

Antifa sounds like fake coffee or something.But I would not join that group.

"violence only begets violence"

It sounds dumb as hell to call yourself Antifa
everybody should oppose fascism, I believe that's just basic human nature unless you're mentally unstable. So I agree with their stance but calling yourself antifa is like being anti cancer.
There should be groups that are against white supremacy including other whites, however it's just too coincidental for me to get behind antifa.
We'll see how it plays out officer -
White people declaring open season on white people
I gotta gets mine
