Garbled syntax still makes position clear
For several years I have been a bit baffled by the hate and disgust toward the “antifa” movement. Let’s be clear: It is a movement, not an organization.
But the thing that is not clear is how “antifa,” an abbreviation of “antifascist,” has become a bad thing.
Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought fascists were the bad guys like Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. And if any part of history that I remember is correct, one of the things the U.S. was fighting in World War II was fascism. Ergo, the United States was antifascist.
But now the antifascists are the bad guys?
Having said all this, I am very clear that I do not condone the methods this current antifascist movement employs to get attention. I am, however, very much against fascism.
