Think about it.
Is an antipope against popes? No, It's just a second pope who wants the job of the first pope.
Is antifa against facism? No, it's a facist movement that just doesn't like some other facist movements. They also don't like democracy (ACAB..)
They have no problem using facist tactics and repression.
Is antiracism against racism? No, they just decided that "racism" only means racism against minorities and call racism against white people "antiracism".
Is peace the opposite of war?
Nope, war and antiwar are two sides of the same coin. Peace isn't even on that coin.
There is war to the left and war to the right. Peace is in the middle (equilibrium), not opposite war.
So.. since antiwar isn't just about war with someone else or about "preventing" war via frist strike..
It should really be named "propeace" and not be used synonymously.
