Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government

What did they mean by this

First they came for the Latinos, and I did not speak out

Next they came for the antifascists...

Band Of Brothers is now banned from all streaming, as is saving Private Ryan, fury, and inglorious bastards.

Those are all terrorist propaganda.

Is this Antifa in the room with us now?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, I don't like fascists. Does that count?

As an Uruguayan this gives me a weird feeling. The dictatorship regime here started cause "the need to quash communist terrorists" called MLN or Tupamaros at the time they where revolutionaries at the time but they served more as an excuse, even the Che Guevara warned them at the time. The military repression and overthrow techniques where learnt in the school of americas that now goes by a different name. And you can see how the parallelism happens in the whole region. The scene is very alike and one would dare to think shit gonna be sadly worse on such an influential country. If anything in time you'll learn the meaning of the phrase

Nunca más...

You would think a country that is really good at terrorising the world would be better to recognise terrorists.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

Oh they are. They understand what they are doing.

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My grandfather was an antifa. Sadly, he isn't around to show this administration how they did it last time.

Understood. I will not oppose Fa. I still, however, oppose Fascism.

We need to stop instantly panicking over "Donald Trump declares ..." headlines. He can declare that pigeons are spies sent by Martian aliens. He has no qualifications to say so, nobody intelligent should be paying attention, his zealots will still follow his orders, and it doesn't matter.

About as useful as the War on Drugs, or Anon. There's no leader, or organizational structure, but they'll find someone to pin it on. I imagine there's already a board with strings of people they hate ready to go.

It's really easy to be a member of antifa, all you need to do is criticize the fascists.

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago

We all know the Trump regime is the real domestic terrorist organization. Go give more dark money to superpacs that will make the world better.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If Antifa even was a terror organization in the US it would be one of the most ineffectual ones in existence given the state of the US.

What a fucking joke.
