    I’ve been waiting for the ideal time to unmask myself, and now seems as good a time as any.

    It is I. I am the president and CEO of Antifa, and I rule with an iron fist.

    I’ll take your questions now.

    Every article that says the word “anarchist” should go out of their way to say that its not illegal to be a capitalist, a communist, or an anarchist. Its a legitimate political ideology thats been around for centuries.

    As soon as they announced that “antifa is a terrorist organization” I then knew exactly what they were up to. So the narrative was “fascism is good, and your a threat if you try to stop it”.

    [security contractors joined by officers hailing from across the federal government] converged for a mission dubbed “Operation Diligent Valor,” authorized under Executive Order 13933, purportedly to apprehend “anarchists and left-wing extremists” who’d been driven by Floyd’s murder to target U.S. monuments commemorating slave owners and Confederate traitors — dangerous individuals, Trump said, advancing a “fringe ideology” painting the U.S. government as “fundamentally unjust.”

    Irony is dead.

          I hope you’re being sarcastic…

          If you really think this started with Trump and stopped with Trump, that’s what they want.

          This is simply a continuation of Cointelpro and we saw the same tactics used against college campus protests under Biden.

            Of course it’s someone from ml that can’t take a joke without getting upset that I didn’t call Biden a genocidal fascist.

              Of course it’s someone from world who posts perfect “poes law” bait and then cries about ml users. I literally started with

              I hope you’re being sarcastic…

              The followed with

              If you really think

              So here’s a tip for the future.

              if 1 of 2 conjunction ˈif əf

              1 a : in the event that b : allowing that c : on the assumption that d : on condition that

              that I didn’t call Biden a genocidal fascist.

              Cointelpro and government crackdown on any opposition to the right wing liberal order goes well beyond Biden, it just continued under him. You’re showing your absolutely unserious and reactionary team sport mentality.

                Their comment specified “For Trump”

                That implies that they are doing the same thing, but for Biden. Obviously.
                How do you not get that?

                You won’t see what I chose not to say here. I don’t often have random vitriol for internet strangers, but goddamn.

                  No it doesn’t. They could be implying it was a Trump specific policy.

                  “they did this specifically for Trump, they probably don’t do it anymore”

                  Vs

                  “They probably don’t specifically do it for Trump anymore”

                  Without knowing them or making assumptions I can’t fill in which interpretation they went with, hence why I said “I hope you’re being sarcastic”, implying I hope they were more in line with the 2nd interpretation.

                  You won’t see what I chose not to say here. I don’t often have random vitriol for internet strangers, but goddamn.

                  If this is what broke you down, I really don’t believe that lol.
