I'm antifa, and I've never seen this symbol used by antifascists, in the US anyway.
Even if they do, it's likely as a way to subvert the symbol used by the Nazis. To use it to attack antifa is to use it like the Nazis did. It's like how black people can use the n-word, but not white people.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 6y agoThank you for your anecdote, but I've posted two examples, one active FB group. It seems to be mainly a European usage, but it exists. I don't see how pointing out a symbol a group uses is attacking them. I also don't think equating yourself and antifa to the struggle of the holocaust and slavery is going to win any minds over.
- user982 6y ago> You also lost me on your n-word logic. Quelle surprise.
- saltedonion 6y agoWhat a messy situation. In today’s day and age you never know what’s real anymore. I wouldn’t be surprised if this group was ran by some trump associate in secret to peddle their narrative. I’m not the conspiracy type but I find with the trump campaign the ordinary gets thrown out of the window. Just crazy allegations after one another.
