Where I came from it's the right wings, who wants you believe antifa is a criminal organisation which is far more extremist and radical than themselves.
This is just propaganda. Sure leftists use the term "antifa" more than the average not extremist people but this has nothing to do with the fact, that everyone who is against fascism is an antifa.
tl;dr: Sorting the "antifa" wording to the "baddies" is rightwing propaganda.
According to Wikipedia (I know, but it is a protected article), antifa is a loose organization of autonomous groups that use both non-violent and violent means. Based on that last part alone, I would say that is perfectly reasonable to NOT identify as antifa even if one generally agrees with their agenda.
As for vilifying the opposition, that does seem like just the thing the right wing would do to avoid taking responsibility for their own stupidity.
Hahaha sure Wikipedia says that lol
I mean, it literally does:
Who is saying it doesnt?
Your previous comment implied that you did not believe it to be so
Hahaha tha fuck? Hahahha Im saying sure they do, who would not expect wikipidia not to say that?
