Actual Antifa is a loose network of anarchists who probably number a few thousand.
"Antifa' is an imaged global network of evil and dangerous extremists, funded by George Soros and lizard people. Also, anyone who can be called leftwing is Antifa'.
Making 'Antifa' a terrorist organisation criminalises the entirety of the US activist left. It's what authoritarian governments do.
Promoting a "white genocide" conspiracy Deporting anyone brown or black, including legal residents and citizens Removing the separation between church and state Eroding the First Amendment Overrreaching the Executive branch at the expense of the Legislative and Congressional branches Talking about making "America great again" Using the military to go after political opponents
It's an umbrella term for a bunch of usually college campus groups that counter-protest fascist orgs like proud boys or patriot prayer.
Some are pretty big like in Portland but uh most aren't. Like you can just go "hey let's get some people on the street for when the proud boys go intimidate an immigrant neighbourhood" and you've invented a local antifascist org.
It's not a single entity. It's just a buzzword for something the left has been doing since fascism first began. The Nazi SA cut its teeth getting into street fights with communists.
Of course it does. Go to Youtube and google antifa attacks ICE portland. You will see plenty of black clad White boys running around cosplaying as revolutionaries.
Check out reporting on them by Andy Ngo and Micheal Tracy. You will see plenty of antifa violence
