So what are you claiming, that antifa doesnt exist? That it hasnt routinely attacked and threatened American citizens it disagrees with, along with police tasked with enforcing law and order? That it hasnt been protected from the consequences of this activity by a corrupt oligarch funded media, politicians and court system?

It doesnt matter if antifa is one organization or many, if they are "loosely controlled" or any of the other media talking points pushed by this hostile elite and its useful idiots, what they engage in is the definition of terrorism, and if they arent held to account, we dont live in a civilized nation with the rule of law.

    All you have to do to be antifa is to be against fascism.

    Wrong. Antifa are groups that use violence and intimidation to silence political opponents THEY label as fascists, most of whom arent fascists, but even if they were it would be irrelevant. I'm generally against Fascism, but self described fascists have as much a right to political speech and assembly as self described communists, who I also oppose, and whose ideology killed far more people. If you are against these rights, then you are a fascist. Which means if we use your own criteria people would then be justified in using violence and intimidation to silence you. See how that works?
