Antifa! Antifa! Antifa! Antifa!

I always thought antifa was a bunch of stupid kids with no centralized leadership, no real idea what they're trying to achieve, and not a single clue as to how to achieve it. It's a hate club.

I dunno, maybe ask your granddad what he thinks antifa means?

I can see them that way, but can I ask where the hate came from. I think of hate as a learned behavior. I can see what you are saying because I was taught to hate people who didn't stick with the program because of all the damage to order they could do. I learned this when I was shown what, in a disciplined environment, would happen to me if I stepped out of line. After that, when I saw kids doing things forbidden to me it made me seethe with rage. Why don't they deserve what happened to me? And, of course, it was easy to justify my hatred because they deserved to suffer. Later I saw that people act out because the burden they had to carry as outcasts was enormous. Their good behavior was never rewarded, I think.

I know right! Why can’t they just tolerate nazis and fascism like you? I mean it not like there has been a growing movement in this country and across the world with either group.

Silly kids!

To the right, Antifa is anyone who protests from the liberal side of the isle basically. Show them a demonstration/protest march and they’ll say it’s antifa. It’s a big scary word like “socialism” to them.

The thing is, they're kinda right, but can't handle that its because they've become full on fascists that everyone protesting them is anti-fascist.
