"emerging alt-left."

So they're abandoning the term "antifa" when it 100% absolutely applies now. lol

edit: nvm this tweet is apparently from 2016-2017.

also how do they know an "alt-left" person did this?

You know factual reporting was never a top priority for Faux Nooz.

Actual reporting has never been a priority, they're just a current events entertainment network.

They call themselves that to get around certain regulations (or at least did back when they started & those regulations actually had a chance of being enforced). We all know their audience takes them deadly serious (literally, in some cases), which is fundamentally incompatible with the definition of the word "entertainment" so far as I understand it to mean.

Same way they "know" anti Tesla vandals are Democrats. They don’t. I could just as easily see an angry vet who got fired from his Fed government job as having sufficient motivation to act out against Musk as someone on the far left. That wouldn't fit their narrative of protests being left wing extremists, though.

Fired federal vets are woke socialists Marxist commies.

If they really loved America, they'd have died for it instead of retiring.

/s y'all, seriously

Obviously. If they had died it would make things so easy for the government. Instead they become part of (what does Enron Musk call them) members of the parasite class, what with getting that free university education, and pensions, and treatment for injuries sustained while on tour.

(Sarcasm over. Seriously yeah they think you are part of the parasite class. They didn't say "oh veterans are the good ones".)

I would love a site wide rule that twitter caps with the date cropped out results in a ban. It seems more often then not its done intentionally

Even still, a screenshot with "1 day ago" from a tweet three years ago happens from time to time too. It's kind of hard to police that one.

Literally anyone is better than a fascist, except for a narrowly hyper-specific few types of heinous criminals (like rapists or serial killers).

u/Enantiodromiac 2d ago

Let's not lose sight of the fact that fascism attracts plenty of rapists and killers.

u/Resident-Plastic-585 1d ago

You said “attracts” when it should honestly be “elects” lol

u/Enantiodromiac 1d ago

I was thinking the rank and file, but you're right, they sure do put them in the top job too.

u/negative_imaginary 2d ago

Do you people genuinely think antifa operate like Al Qaeda?

u/negative_imaginary 2d ago

and that is a no in what way? because you know I live in India and never being to America I don't know how antifa works, can you care to explain to me what they have done and what they do and how they operate where is their headquarters?

u/AbrahamDylan 2d ago

They won’t answer you because they can’t. They just hear these words and then use them. In fact, they don’t know the meaning of 75% of the words they use.

u/CatLadyEnabler 2d ago

Not guaranteed, but has a far better chance of being true than the actual fascists running things at the moment.

Hello fellow old person I am thrilled to see someone else remembers “Antifa”, so many youngsters around here don’t even remember those days! Migrant caravans, politically correct, affirmative action, critical race theory, hell when’s the last time you heard someone real mad about BLM? They just forget all the old boogeymen looking for the hot new one. Sad.
