>Yes, but also the ones on the way to authoritarianism, as was argued the Trump regime is.

Democrats/leftists/ANTIFA don't hate authoritarianism, They hate that they're not the ones in charge of dealing the authoritarianism on their opposition, as shown by the masked mob gestapo they set up in Minnesota doing "papers please, you're either with us or against us" on civilians passing by to confirm they hate ICE.

If Kamala-Walz would have won the election, they would have done the same to Trump and friends in republican states, and you would have called it "justice for Nazis", not fascism ,which is the justification ANTIFA use when they beat up innocent people.

Also even if true, there's a vast difference between a rando on the street asking those questions vs a government agent. That's assuming the government agent isn't too much of a pussy to identify himself instead of hiding behind a mask.

If I show you camera footage on X of this happening will you accept it in good faith or nitpick it on why it's not valid?

>Also even if true, there's a vast difference between a rando on the street asking those questions vs a government agent.

Ah classic, so even if it's happening, it's not a bad thing because an unelected unaccountable mob is doing it, just like in third world countries.

If you show me the evidence, I will examine it. That may include examining the surrounding context if it's not blatantly obvious.

Antifa doesn't beat up innocent people, it does society a service by beating up fascists.

It's in the name, antifascists. They rose from the fascism of the 20th century and have a proud history of fighting the original Nazis.

God bless them for carrying on the good fight!

So if I call myself anti-fascist and label you as a fascist, I am then legally allowed to mask up and beat you up or kill you because anti-fascism is in my name and that's doing god's work? Average HN liberal logic right here.

Like I said before, you don't hate fascists, you want to be the fascists in order to justify kill people you disagree with. You just admitted it in your own words.

Curious what if you were to get hit by the same type of vigilante justice you approve of, and someone dishes out this type of punishment on you for fitting their definition of a fascist in their now prevailing worldview. As they say, "Live by the sword, die by the sword".

Not if you label me as fascist, if I were to fit the definition of fascist.

Umberto Ecos Ur-Fascism might be worth a read.

Fascism isn't just "things I don't like". It's specific behavioral patterns that lead to the worst crimes in modern history and that must be stomped out at any cost. Words have meanings.

> Words have meanings

Not to Fascists.

> Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.
