Did you click on https://www.inventati.org/about ? (I also tried reading the manifesto first.)

From it:

> We support individuals, collectives, communities and groups whose political and social activities fit within this worldview and who share with us some fundamental principles: anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-militarism

I suspect they have some "not mainstream" political views; although I think understanding what these views are requires more in-depth reading of the blogs that they host.

I would say they are pretty "mainstream" (or very widespread) in some territories. I have seen bartenders wearing those 'anti-' terms on their t-shirts at work.

Anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, and anti-militarism?

Good?

That will depend on what the bearers will want to mean with it, as usual.

Labels (like anti-facism) often don't explain what the views are; they're just labels.

We'd need to dig much deeper to understand what their views are.

FWIW: I consider extreme leftists just as dangerous as the extreme right.

Yeah, that says pretty much nothing about what they do. It reads like an enterprise tech company webpage saying "we provide solutions to help transform your company into the digital age".

Solutions to help individuals live through the digital age. Very different - for-profit vs for-survival (etc.).

Will you just click the link? It's like 2 paragraphs and the very first sentence says they "provide internet support (through website hosting, e-mail accounts, mailing lists, chat, blogs, and much more) to activists and collectives coming from the world of grassroot and social movements"

How much more specific can you get?

It’s a sad day when antifascism is considered not mainstream

Fascism is mainstream so it makes sense that its opposite is not.

Yeah we should ban any non-mainstream political views and designate them as terrorist
