How can you be "connected" to antifa if they aren't an actual organization?

Holy shit, what a photo.
The cloud of bear spray, the pistol slide mid recoil, the shell casing flying away, the laser sight reflecting in the sunglasses, holy shit!

Yeah, this happened in Denver last night.
It’s the subject of the tweets above, where all the right wingers insisted his was antifa, when he was actually a private security guard hired by a press crew

I think this has been said, but we need to start referring to “antifa” by their full name, anti-fascist.
That way, when bubbas speak up against antifa, we know what they’re really saying is that they’re anti-anti-fascist.

"However, the anti-fascist movement has a sophomoric misunderstanding of fascism and its location on the political spectrum. More disturbing, this lack of understanding extends to its own social media and even physical tactics that mimic the mob psychology, street rage and bullying that are hallmarks of the fascism they denounce."
"mob psychology' and 'the militant anti-reason impervious to argument' are characteristics amply evident in today’s campus protests against a fascism they hotly denounce but whose tactics they generously employ."

That's like saying Hitler had a dog and breathed oxygen, and so do I, therefore I am just like Hitler.
