One more step toward authoritarian wet dreams.

On this blessed day?
I know it’s a classic, but this made me think I should rewatch it.
Good! It’s ABOUT Time we label WWII vets as the TERRORISTS they Are!
If you are anti-anti-fa, that means you are fa. Do I need to spell it our more explicitly than that?
Anyone not pro-fascist is a terrorist?
Apparently, yes!
Anyone that challenge government authority is a criminal and it has been the case for a long time.
I am antifa.
I don’t do antifa, I am antifa
Pretty safe to say America is officially, explicitly, pro-fascism, then? Does this qualify us for any refugee status or something?
I think there’s ground for it honestly.
Even before, but now it can be argued even more easily.
Were I American, I’d definitely leave before it gets uglier (it will). I wish all my fellow « antifa » Americans strength in the times to come. You guys are gonna need it 😞
Leaving is, unfortunately, a lot easier said than done. The easiest method is probably getting a foreign employer to sponsor a work visa, and that’s not an easy pathway. Other ways are harder.
Don’t get me wrong, I have an escape plan in mind if push comes to shove and Canada starts accepting asylum claims from trans and nonbinary people, but uprooting everything to change countries is prohibitively expensive for almost everyone.
I guess it is. I’m really sorry to read that. Good luck to you all!
Most of our countries will soon fall for the fascist agenda pushed by the billionaires anyway, so I’m not even sure if there’ll really be a place to run to….
Thank you, I appreciate it! We’re going to need all the luck we can get…
I hope that other countries can look at what’s happening here now and learn what not to do, rather than follow in our footsteps
Yeah, there’s already a rise of Americans from persecuted groups seeking asylum in Canada, Europe, and elsewhere.
With the rise of fascism, the US has increasingly become unsafe for marginalized people to the point that many are legitimately qualified for asylum in safer countries and it’s going to get much worse before it (hopefully, but not very likely soon) gets any better.
This would be time for Canada to rip up the safe third country agreement and start letting Americans claim political refugee status
Edit: for those who don’t know, the STCA means Canada only accepts refugees if we are the first “safe country” they enter. Since Canada still considers the US a safe democracy, American citizens / people entering from the US cannot claim refugee status
Why does Newsweek care about this .00007 percent of the population who want higher taxes, worse health care, and anti-American trade policies?" White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Newsweek.
Ugh, I remember when our government would have acted like adults and just said “no comment” when Newsweek reached out to them.
These people are insolent fucking children
Remember Antifa is short for anti-fascist. Calling it what it is changes the meaning behind this.
It’s like the war against DEI. They say the acronym because if they say “I’m against diversity, equality and inclusion” they look like assholes
So everybody who fought in WWII is now classified as a terrorist since they were fighting fa(cism).
Yep… and the “good guys” are now the fascists, according to them
Well, guess we’re the ones who are all domestic terrorists.
If we already gotta do the time, might as well do the crime. /shrug
It’s not a distraction, it’s a bigger deal!
Stop it! We know he’s a pedophile who raped trafficked children, and we know the files won’t be released.
This is more pressing. You’re distracting from it with your tired meme.
ANTIFA isn’t an organized group, it’s a term to identify yourself as “anti fascist”, and now that nets you a bullshit terrorism charge. People will start getting arrested and questioned about very mild anti trump sentiments and be charged with bullshit terrorism charges.
This is a crackdown on the remaining freedom of expression you can get away with. This is a huge deal.
Activists will be arrested and physically beat over this, we’ve seen this movie before in other authoritarian dictatorship struggling for power before. You’ll soon be dragged into a van and stomped on for posting that stupid meme, but you’re not posting it ironically, it’s actually your main concern.
Sounds like the kind of thing they would want to do to slow down the release of the Epstein files!
Jesus Christ! I’m asking you to be out in the streets with pitchforks demanding the pedophile in chief be ousted before you have no more freedoms to even make silly memes…
I mean, we’ve been doing that. It doesn’t seem to work.
I’m sorry? You’ve been doing that? Who’s we and where?
There’s been pockets of small scale protests like in California, but you haven’t been doing that everywhere and at the required scale at all! It’s not working because only a tiny fraction of people give a shit, everyone is apathetic and I’ve literally been told “at least we’re on the side with the guns”.
No kings, 50501, etc… And where is pretty much everywhere
We’ve had the largest protests in American history if not world history over this. The streets were flooded in New york just within the past week. It’s not working because nonviolent protest just isn’t effective.
Ahh, there you go. I said with pitchforks, not with memes on cardboard.
Jesus fuck, not everything is a distraction from Epstein. There is a lot of other bad shit they’re doing simply because they’re fascists, no ulterior motive required.
Read a fucking history book
Well, considering ANTIFA doesn’t exist, I’d say it’s pretty safe to say they’re doing this so they can label anyone they don’t like as ANTIFA and disappear them.
Everyone should be arming themselves and helping everyone they know arm themselves.
Congratulations everyone! We are all now domestic terrorists if we don’t agree with nazi’s and the fascist government we have!
Thanks republicans! You got what you wanted! Free speech for right wing extremists, and everyone else is labeled a terrorist who can be sent to a concentration camp with zero due process!
All law and order is now gone, our economy is quickly crashing, and the job market is destroyed. Just as Donald Trump told his voter base he would accomplish, he actually did it. I give Project 2025 more credit than i did before. They streamlined us into Fascist US in less than a year!
Is Antifa even a group? Like, do they send out newsletters or some shit? Can you buy a hat? Vote for leadership roles?
I thought it was more of a political belief. Wouldn’t that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?
Yes, this is an attempt to label any sane person who is anti-fascist a terrorist. The irony is the likelihood of WW2 grandkids voting in favor of the current fascist. We’re truly fucked as a nation.
Jokes on them, I am "against fascism*
Agafa just doesn’t hit the same though
i dunno, i quite liked Murder on the Orient Express
Agafa Chrifty
We can make it work. “it was Agafa All Along”
It’s literally just short for “anti-fascist”. They’re anti-anti-fascism.
Wouldn’t that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?
Bingo.
I’m just over here waiting for the majority of Americans to grasp that we now have a fascist government. Literally.
Lot of denial going on in America right now. People are really going to have to start suffering before it sinks in. The suffering is coming. Guaranteed.
the denial won’t end until trump is dead (ideally, in as embarrassing and compromising a manner as possible), coping for a “return to normal” that won’t manifest
You are making statements that are not in dispute. This is the way forward for them.
Thats exactly what they’re doing.
Most right wingers don’t like fascists either. See the American “left”
The people downvoting you don’t understand liberalism is right-of-center.
Wouldn’t that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?
Yeah that’s the idea
