One only has to look at that twitter thread to see what kind of antifa they are endorsing:
> we have an "antifa" movement in France (reacting to our rising far right), and they're often just as violent :-(

It is clear that the kind of antifa they are endorsing falls on a particular point on the "huge variance" spectrum of attitude to violence. It is clear that the code of conduct is being applied selectively to one half of the political spectrum. And I say this as somebody who has always voted for the most left wing party in my country. This attitude towards violence and censorship and social shaming from my side worries me greatly.
