Transcription: I Just Found Out that My Child's History Teacher is Forcing Them to Learn About Antifa Leaders. What is this Country Coming to?

Wikipedia page on Anti-fascism, listing Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Charles de Gaulle as Counterrevolutionary Anti-fascism examples


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-fascism


PS: Don't worry, today (9/17/2025) is the day that the house committee deliberates on Macro Rubio's ability to use the people's freedom of speech as evidence of terrorist organisation aid.

H.R. 5300, SEC. 226. NO PASSPORTS FOR TERRORISTS AND TRAFFICKERS

So it's just a matter of time before all the Antifas are sent to concentration camps.


PPS: Sorry everyone, looks like this post got too many upvotes and influenced American politics.

Im so confused. Are real people out there openly in favor of “fascism”?

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 65 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Some people are openly fascist, yes. Thanks to the stupid fucking Jubbilee VS videos, I now know the depths of human stupidity are more boundless than I imagined.

However, I think this person just can't connect the dots that being anti-anti-fascism is just being pro-fascism. They don't actually think about the words they use, their meaning or their context. They just know that "antifa" is a left wing group, and left-wing, of course, bad, obviously. And since "antifa" stands for "anti-fascism", anyone that are "anti-fascists", including historical figures who lived and fought fascism well before the Antifa group existed, are the same as this modern group, and therefore left-wing, which, again, bad. They don't then take the next step in logic to, "if the anti-fascists were bad for opposing fascism, then fascism must be good. Praise Mussolini." Again, some do get there, but most are just thoughtless dum-dums.

It reminds me of when you ask people "If you are driving 80 miles PER HOUR, how long will it take for you to drive 80 miles?" And then they start guessing random shit or trying to logic it out or do math instead of just understand what the hell is being said. Weird mental gymnastics ensue that just demonstrate their complete lack of understanding.

What are you confused about? The current US administration is very openly fascist.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

Yes, but they don't call it that. Nazis and fascism are "bad," regardless of how perfectly they embody their ideology.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

They pretty much reinvented it from conservatism. It's like carcinization, crustaceans evolving into crabs, but various right-wing flavors evolving into fascism.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

you take that back about crabs they're better than that

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It wasn't meant to insult crabs, I just needed a metaphor for this kind of convergent evolution on the right.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Nearly half of America seems to be although I'd argue they're too stupid to even realize it.

[-] darvocet@infosec.pub 19 points 1 month ago

They are like "nuh uh. You're the facist." When you read them the definition of the word they say google changed it.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 12 points 1 month ago

It's so fucking infuriating... The very same "facts over feelings" group will deny the veracity of any fact provided unless it comes directly from their propagandist of choice...

[-] Denjin@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

People seem to have forgotten that the core conceit of George Orwell's 1984 isn't the surveillance state or the constant war or the two minutes hate and all the rest. It's the idea that by perverting what people even understand as truth you can get them to do anything.

Anti-fascists are Fascists, criticising someone who spouted hate speech is hate speech, anti-racism is racist.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

I don't know all these elitist words, but I heard that Antifa is a well organized Communist terrorist organisation!

[-] NochMehrG@feddit.org 49 points 1 month ago

There is a great song by the German punk band „Team Scheiße“, „FA“, with the refrain „Bist du anti Antifa, bist du Fa“ which translates to „If you’re anti Antifa, you’re fa[shist]. A bit simplistic but true.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Wouldn't expect anything more poetic from "Team Shit."

[-] Naich@lemmings.world 33 points 1 month ago

Just another word going through the right wing meaning-mangling-machine.

[-] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

People need to stop letting rightards redefine words. Whenever I hear someone railing about antifa I show them this picture and ask which side are they on. I'm not some edgelord in a trenchcoat with a fedora either. It actually makes them stammer and back out of that position in a fucking hurry.

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Hey the image isn’t loading for me for lemmy related reasons, what’s the picture of?

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

The Allied assault on Normandy beach.

my outlook is that antifa is active antihate. to be anti antifa is to be pro hate, pro fascist, pro genocide

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There's a thread on /r/ conservative right now. It's fucking amazing. They are out of their goddamn Minds. They're all celebrating that finally Donald Trump is brave enough to Outlaw this obvious terrorist organization that's responsible for billions of dollars in property damage. That's right billions of dollars. They think antifa is caused billions of dollars of property damage. They're out of their goddamn Minds.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yes they are, and they're winning and they're going to burn our country to the ground while celebrating in the streets.

DOA in the Senate, if it even gets that far.

It's shorter than saying you're exclusively pro-do, pro-re, pro-me, pro-so, pro-la, and pro-ti.

Oh brother, 1984's doublespeak

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

If you think that antifascists are your enemy I have news for you.

I don't what to hear it! I don't read the news! My mom is always right, I get all my news from her!

Where is this groups website? Can I register to get their newsletter?

Krasnov wants his Auntie Flo deported but he's been slurring his words as his latest shipment of SpaceX Cocaine was delayed.

as a side note:
would you say it's time to become juggalos?

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It means that they can now have posts like this: https://old.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1nk8xm0/antifa_is_recognized_as_a_terrorist_group_in_the/

If your comment is called out as antifa, doesn't matter if you have anything to do with supporting anti-fascists or not, it will add to a report count, one that can be made to be a very big number and has a pseudo legal premise Trump federal agencies WILL go after and which MAGA's Supreme Court WILL back up. It is a Gleichschaltung moment.

[-] CubitOom@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago

We need to report everyone's grand parents that faught against fascists in world war 2!
