Is “antifa” even a real organization that actually exists, or is it just a logo?
Yes.
I’d love for a single source here lmao
It’s a principle.
There are thousands of organizations that follow the principle and many adopt it’s name, but it’s no more an organization than feminism.
How does one have “ties to antifa?”
Basically, taking any steps to defend yourself in general:
- being armed
- wearing a mask to obscure your face
- wearing nondescript clothing
- wearing PPE to defend against pepper balls etc.
- having GrapheneOS on your phone
- using an encrypted messaging app
- etc.
They are making this general principle into an invisible organization and anyone they have a problem with will be labelled as a kind-of-terrorist. Their base is lapping it up already, so prepare to see more of those “ties to antifa” in the coming months if you stick around…
That’s what happened with Anonymous.
Wait, is Anonymous gone?
Never really can be. It was never a hacker “group”, it was a movement in a way. A name chosen by whoever wanted to use it. A big part of Anonymous was always that anyone can be it.
It was media and governments that started the narrative that it was a group with a hierarchy of leadership. But at the end of the day, that goes against the fundamental idea.
So very similar to the antifa ideaology.
Also Texas is easy place to set up legal precedent, making it easier to pull the same shit in other states
But SCOTUS ruled that they can’t set legal precedent for all districts with a single case. Every case has to be tried individually. Lets see if these assholes stick to their own rules.
Districts having different precedent isn’t new, and when those precedents conflict is usually when the SCOTUS will agree to hear a case. The recent ruling I believe you are referring to is that district courts can’t set nationwide injunctions, only injunctions within their district.
Bondi has already said that this is the first of more charges like this, they’re ramping up efforts to ‘dismantle’ and ‘find Antifa cells’ across the US.
There’s a reason the concentration camps are permanent structures, while the reasoning we’re being told at the moment is for temporary use. That reasoning is dishonest and will disappear as we see the truth, in which case case they won’t need to lie any longer.
Of course, by the headline, you’d assume “shooting at Texas immigration facility” and “8 accused” would mean “8 people fired shots at the facility”…
But the reality is that 8 people had guns on them, (claimed for self defense), ONE guy in the group shot a police officer pulling up to the (already mostly dispersed) protest OUTSIDE an immigration facility, and ALL of them then got accused.
Why?? Feels fishy… careful of the agitators kids…
Felony Murder type laws probably?
Like if 5 folks show up to a robbery and one kills someone they all get charged with murder.
My response is more of a “how” not a “why”
No i mean why would he open fire on police after everyone is dispersing and there was no immediatr conflict. Most activists ae smarter than that. There was no reason to escalate. He was by definition agitating and was oviously not very well vetted if they all knew eachother
This is so much horse shit. They couldn’t prove the other attendees were colluding with the shooter at all. They were convicted on optics alone.
It was Texas. I’m sure everyone had a gun.
Political prisoners.
Hopefully gets overturned on appeal. An absolute abuse of power.
antifa, the decentralized far-left movement
What bullshit is this? Being against fascism isn’t “far left”. I mean, what kind of bar have they set, here? If someone is straight up communist are they far, far, far, far, far left? There’s so much between antifa and “far” left that you could fit dozens of countries in that space.
Thats the neat part.
Antifa isn’t a group its whoever the fascists want it to be
If you want to keep your rights you’re a far-left radical. Bow down to your king.
It’s a redefining of what counts as center. Their far right antics just look moderate right if you can pull the center along with you.
To be fair, a movement is not its name. National socialists aren’t socialists. Antifa in practice is far-left, as any sane person should be.
It’s like saying Brazil is far north when viewed from Antarctica
The Justice Department called the violence an attack plotted by antifa operatives but attorneys for the accused denied that characterization, saying there were no antifa associations and that it was merely a demonstration with fireworks before gunshots broke out.
The regime lied about what happened, lied about the protesters having any links to antifa groups and grossly misapplied terrorism charges.
But even if it had been exactly what the regime falsely claims it was, it’s undeniable that attacking the guards at a concentration camp deserves a medal of valor.
