antifa is also known to do other work such as doxxing and exposing white supremacists, hacking databases of fascist organizations, and crashing their meetings nonviolently by calling their planned venues 

 

you’re just pigeonholing the antifa movement to fit your narrative but go off sis

What do you mean fit my narrative? What is my narrative? I didn’t say they were “just violent”, and I separated “protests” from “violence” and added an “etc.” to indicate they do more than that and I don’t have enough knowledge on them to list them all.

I’m not pigeonholing anything. You’re accusing me of something for no reason. Why?

Well the distinction is important here. Because anti-fascists could create another movement with another name. He’s not decreeing “antifascism” as a belief system to be terroristic. He’s decreeing Antifa as terroristic because of the violence some of those who identify with that name have caused.

If he decreed “antifascism” as terrorist, this would be a whole lot worse. I’m not trying to split hairs here. What this means is that people can do the same thing they’ve always done, the name and image will just evolve to bypass what he’s done here.

Antifa is the same as anti-fascists. That's a fact. Sure, secondary organizations/groups can be made under the umbrella of the Antifa philosophy, but the same goes for the LGBTQ. And the violence of Antifa is always a violence that's justified. Again, the same goes for the LGBTQ, that also had (and still has) its dose of violence born in response to unfair circumstances.

Why are there separate Wikipedia pages for Antifa and Antifascism but not for LGBTQ and Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer? LGBTQ is an abbreviation, Antifa is not, otherwise Antifa would have the same page as Anti-fascism
