It still makes me giggle that the far right chose "Antifa" as their boogeyman. You can ask any of them what it stands for, half of which just say radical liberals that are trying to take over America. Then tell them it means anti-fascist, ask them what from with being against fascism, and then watch their heads spin while glowing red. Good times.

I think this is better presented as:

"Oh wait you are FOR fascism?"

"No I'm just against antifa."

"There is no like, regulating body for this 'antifa'. It's just what the fascists labeled anyone who isn't supporting fascism. If you aren't a fascist, then you are antifa."

Lol I have to say that I've never actually met anyone that claims to be affiliated with Antifa. Plenty Proud Boys and the like, but I'm convinced Antifa is a borderline myth.

I'm a lieutenant commander in the Western Corps of the Antifa International Brigade, nice to meet you!

There's the occasional street fight that breaks out between them and the proud boys from time to time.

I've met a couple. Cool dudes, a few loose screws. They have a compound where they make their own ammo.

I think anyone attracted to the prospect of violence is a bit of a dick by definition.
