You're being obtuse for no reason. This is like saying ISIS isn't an a specific group because it is comprised of transregional autonomous cells instead of any specific group. Sure, maybe in the most literal application of terms, but it's obvious what's being discussed from context clues. Decentralized movements are the status quo of activism these days, that doesn't mean you can't reference the movement as a collection when discussing how to combat it or or if it should be combatted.
- anamexis 6y agoI'm arguing that antifa isn't even a decentralized movement. Wildly different parts of the left, both in ideology and preferred tactics, ascribe to the antifa label. I think a better analogy than ISIS would be "groups that say they uphold the ideals of Islam."
- troughway 6y agoThanks for this, but it’s not worth it to get into a spat on HN over this to be honest. It’s clear from the downvote brigading that this isn’t a thread for discussion.
