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.
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".)

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