Calm down dude. Read your own comment: >calm down and knock off the puerile snark. There was no "snark" or personal attack on my first comment, unlike yours, which is now just eristic and name-calling. My mistake on assuming you were an American, I apologize (neither am I) - you did write "Frankly, our political situation is rife with insanity" though, and this is a topic about something happening in the US. My point is that Americans tend to fabricate a concrete Antifa (which does not exist as a single entity) so that they can use it as a proxy to attacking the idea itself. It is not yet acceptable to be openly pro-fascism, but it is very much acceptable to be against terrorism, which is how the US government classifies Antifa ("Domestic Terrorist Organization "). So you got my point backwards: I'm not saying that these people are pro-fascism because they are anti-Antifa, I'm saying many Americans are already pro-fascism, and a politically acceptable way to express that today is by being anti-antifa -- which does not mean that _all_ people against specific Antifa-related groups are pro-fascist.
