I'm anti-fascist. I have a sticker on my laptop, and have hosted a BLM protest. No flags, no hats, and maybe 1% of my friends are involved in the way I am. If there's an antifa cult, I want to know about it, bcause I wouldn't mind some more friends in the scene.
Again, can we please just be for real and stop playing a "both sides" game? There's a difference between dogmatism, and cultism.
You disrespect the person you're responding to with your sarcasm, ignoring their points in order to make your own. You try to recover further down, which is nice, but please try to debate in good faith.
Maybe you got some things about me wrong. I'm very much anti-fascist, but around here anything labelled antifa is quite fascist. I don't care about anything Trump.
The only connection I have to Trump is that I sometimes heard old grumpy Nazis from the German military complain that he doesn't support them enough in attacking Russia. But trusting him to be a man of peace is most likely a mistake.
At the moment I'm neutral and observe the situation. I sometimes hang out with guys from peace movements, and also go to some events of the guys they protest against.
Antifa never shows up when there's a protest against real bad guys (politics, weapon industry, human rights...). And they're far more likely to harass the people of peace and human rights movements. There have been events of actual violence in the past, but most harassment nowadays is online.
For the cult:
- they label others as fascists a lot (even if it makes no sense in that context) so their brain has a short and allows violence.
- there are uniforms. They wear black with mask. Masking is still a thing today - it's a solid cargo-cult.
