this is the kind of black and white thinking lemmy does best.

EDIT: i retract this statement. i was wrong

i was severely misinformed about what antifacism is. i was under the impression that "the antifa" was a group by itself instead of a mindset.

You're not pro-fascist, you're just against people trying to stop the fascists. Thank god for nuance.

i hate fascists with a passion, but i might not agree with how antifa acts. i do not have any experience with the group itself, i might even agree with them.

for example, i do not like how the last generation glued themselves to streets. that doesn't make me a climate denier, does it?

EDIT: it seems i misunderstood what antifa is. i always saw it as "the group of violent extremist protesters that throw rocks and light up cars"

again, i am fully for doing everything i can against fascists. but violent protests don't contribute, all it does is make your movement the next boogeyman.

I’m baffled as to what the point of this comment is, besides waffling about the virtues of not picking sides for not picking sides’ sake.

i have picked the side that's stopping fascists. but the enemy of my enemy isn't automatically my friend. i do not respect movents who are known for committing arson and battery regularly.

I see your edit above, i see the comments you posted after said edit, and I'm not sure you now actually got what antifa means. Especially the part about it not being a single, coherent organization doesn't seem to get to you.
