Antifa's not an organized thing like you keep saying it is. The Proud Boys, on the other hand...

  The videos of massive numbers of bricks being thrown at the Chicago cops, the expose on Rose City Antifa, and the murder of antifa opponents complete with film crews and diversions say otherwise.

  > not an organized thing Do self-identified Antifa just spontaneously and simultaneously decide to engage in identical acts violence? Is there some remarkably prominent commie Schelling point us outsiders aren’t privy to?

    It's more like how "Anonymous" was in the 2008 Scientology demonstrations. Just buy a _V-for-Vendetta_ Guy Fawkes mask and you're in. Wanna be in Antifa? Just go to a demonstration and hang-out with other people who simply look like they're in Antifa - though that doesn't give anyone permission to fight or act aggressively: there is a degree of mutual-acknowledgement amongst "members": if someone acts aggressively or fights on the offensive (as opposed to fighting defensively against other people who were aggressors[1]) then you wont' find many future allies to witness in your defence in court. [1] Yes, I'm aware of how murky that sounds.

  > Antifa's not an organized thing While there may be no central leadership, there are definitely organized chapters. That's exactly what they would like people to believe. And yet, they seem to act in an incredibly organized fashion...
