I read the Guardian article you posted.

When a police officer arrived at the scene, drawing his gun, an armed protester shot her rifle, hitting the officer in the shoulder. The officer survived.

With this detail whole story makes more sense. Still the punishment is way to harsh and injust, especially so because they weren't ones whot shot the cop.

I just looked this up. Why are anti-fascists now looked at as terrorists? Isn't it good to be against fascism? I am a little confused at this whole thing. Could someone explain in layman's terms.

At the risk of sounding glib, but I'm completely serious, the US state is fascist. It's not about good or bad, it's about the state cracking down on its opposition. And it's not just now. Opposing fascism 'too early' in the ww2 period before the US joined the war, say, by supporting the leftists fighting in Spain would get you targeted for repression in the purges of the 50's we call 'the red scare.'

When the government is openly facist they label anti-facists as terrorists.

Simply put, if you're against Anti-Fascism, you might be a fascist.

JFC, y'all! It wasn't over a zine. It was over moving a zine!

Would explain why mods deleted some of my past posts. So how do we protect ourselves?

What the fuck is a zine? A magazine?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 72 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yes, zine is short for magazine, but the word carries additional connotations such as handmade or low production, anti-capitalist/fascist, and freely distributed

Trump is just farming low honor for the bad ending atp

Do not hand Donald Trump any non-progression items, as it will ruin his low% run of the United States Presidency

Can't wait for the glitchless run. It's kinda boring seeing him use the Israel exploit for half his presidency
