    antifa, the decentralized far-left movement

    What bullshit is this? Being against fascism isn’t “far left”. I mean, what kind of bar have they set, here? If someone is straight up communist are they far, far, far, far, far left? There’s so much between antifa and “far” left that you could fit dozens of countries in that space.

      Like it or not, in mainstream parlance, Antifa doesn’t signify simply being anti-fascist; it signifies being one of those people that goes to KKK and Neo-Nazi marches and intentionally starts fights. And that is very far-left.

      It’s a redefining of what counts as center. Their far right antics just look moderate right if you can pull the center along with you.

      If you want to keep your rights you’re a far-left radical. Bow down to your king.

      It’ politico they belong to a right-wing media outlet from Germany called Springer. They are simply shit stains of human beings - I will not give examples, but they alone caused the entire legal system develop a system on how to rectify intentional slander by the press.

      To be fair, a movement is not its name. National socialists aren’t socialists. Antifa in practice is far-left, as any sane person should be.
