US Congress proposal to declare Antifa a terrorist organization

Wrote up a summary months ago (with reputable sources!) and warned about Nazis too and was permabanned from Lemmy news and politics for it.

Idk man, you can tell people stuff, but it’s so hard for them to access what’s real right now. There’s a concerted online effort to suppress factual info.

The purpose of targeting an organization that doesn't exist is that anyone who opposes the state can be labeled antifa, and therefore a terrorist.

antifa is not an organization. It's more of an identification, and a label that is placed by state media. BLM is an organization that might show up to same event. Anyone protesting Musk/nazi adjacent rules, would be called antifa.

This is a law against protests, where the more fascist the rulers are, the less you are allowed to protest.

The oligarchs are declaring war on the American population.

How far will they go until We the People get fed up? $10 eggs might be cutting it close.

This is why you don't let the nazis organize freely. They will always do what you should have done to them. Even when they had Trump on actual crimes they made sure that he would get the best possible chance to get away with it.

Lookin' good America.

We should elect more people that do things like this instead of passing legislation to help struggling Americans.

But, oh no, we already told the party with a voting history proving they do that on a regular basis to go fuck themselves and elected people who want to label ANTI-FASCISTS terrorists instead while releasing 1,500 actual terrorists who performed an actual terrorist act back into our society without serving their time.

Clown country.

sooo theyre announcing they are officially pro fascism. got it.

My grandfather was antifa and so am I. The 1911 is a solid choice for nazis.

So in America anti-fascists are terrorists and murderous insurrectionists are heroes. Their forefathers must just be spinning in their graves.

The vagueness is the point. Vague laws transfer the power to those who enforce it (ACAB) who get to decide if that law applies in that case.

It's the same strategy used by the Spanish inquisition. Who's a witch? Keep it vague, and that answer becomes fully arbitrary and dependent on different social factors (such as people trying eliminate others and take their land by using such accusations). It also encourages everyone else to "signal" that they're not whatever the bad label is... as a precaution. Preemptive antiantifa. This is basic conservative society shit.

We saw the same thing since 2020 with the right-wing turning mask wearing into a signal for "weakness & femininity" and "leftism", and large numbers of conservatives decided that it was better to get COVID-19 and long COVID. Note that this wasn't STATE controlled, but it wasn't organic either, it was more of a private astroturfing phenomenon.

I'm not sure what the solution is, and I doubt that it's just one single thing, but I'd love to see some ideas.

Go for it. There's no such thing as antifa outside the minds of chuds. There's no organization. No roster of "members"

It's just people who are anti-fascist as a principle. And every living WWII vet.

Neonazis, ok. Fighting against neonazis, not ok. Got it.

Important detail: It isn't a bill that's been passed. It's only been introduced and referred to the judiciary committee. It'll be bigger news if it gets out of the committee, goes to the floor, and gets passed.

They want it again? Oh well, predictable as a clockwork.

An article from 2020, when Trump & co wanted it last time:

What Is Antifa, the Movement Trump Wants to Declare a Terror Group?

What they failed to learn last time:

Rather, antifa is more of a loose movement of activists whose followers share some philosophies and tactics.

Can we get a bill declaring proud boys a terrorists group?

yeah, us congress knows a thing or two about terrorism.

I remember the day that I applied to be a member of the ANTIFA organization. It was a gorgeous day, the sun warmed my back as I walked into their headquarters, documents in hand.

I met with the president, board members and committee. They gave me a uniform, took my picture, and printed an ID.

Then, I was invited into the private group chat, which everyone in ANTIFA is in.

But, times have changed.

Since then, they sold my data, and now I get fucking Dominos Pizza coupons all day. How am I meant to fight fascism with fucking pizza.

those poor fascists 😢

istg these new policies sound like they were made by a 11 year old conservative - except they're from an 80 year old fascist.

It’s marjorie taylor greene bullshit. Hopefully the rest of congress is smarter than this.

Maybe we just call ourselves "antfash" and if they ask we are just really into dressing up ants?

Since this is an EU community it should be mentioned that this cannot become law in the US without passing the Senate. Which is usually a much higher bar. The US House of Representatives is known for suggesting outrageous stuff that never even gets heard in the Senate.

If you're anti Antifa you are Fa
Trigger warning: German public service broadcasting :)

Love that they still don't get that it's not an organisation.

And North Korea is a Republic. It says so in the name, duh.

It's just a bottomless pit of stupidity

TAKE THESE AND MAKE SOMETHING BETTER and brilliant… catchy! Record it. Link it. SPREAD IT. Let these people know they will be held accountable. And by these people I refer specifically to one actual person who has ever existed. These lyrics are entirely the work of Imagination and shared as art, free speech, poetry so that others can make great music with them. They are owned by everyone. In fact, I found them somewhere else and pasted them here.

He want to be a big man

But he know he a small man

In private he dress up and do the can can

He all cartoony like gruncle Stan Stan.

He gotta rich friend he think the man man

His rich friend he love the klan klan

The two be goose steppin’

The two be goose steppin’

In the mornin’ he pulling da fire alarma

He just trying to scare you and make up more trauma

He can’t live without all dat drama

He won’t eat middle eastern cause he says he hates dat schwarma.

Bad things gonna come back on him because of dat karma

The two be goose steppin’

The two be goose steppin’

He talkin’ real loud, tryna sound all tough

But we all know he cain’t sell that rough stuff

Big shoes, big coat, but he still bluff bluff

He be flexin’ like he diamond, but he straight Hufflepuff

Million dollar this that, but it all fake fake

Runnin’ round town like he pushin’ that weight weight

Luigi comin’ Luigi comin’

He scared of the dark, leave a night light on late

Tryna act all brave but his heart pumpin’ shake shake

Luigi comin’ Luigi comin’ ‘cause

The two be goose steppin’

The two be goose steppin’

He say he run the block, but he really just rent it

Tried to buy a Rolex, but the price he couldn’t dent it

All talk, no walk, that’s how he designed it

Tryna boss up but his clout been rewinded

He scared of his shadow, jumpin’ left and right

Actin’ like a king but he cryin’ every night

Luigi comin’

Say he got power, but his grip too light

He can’t handle heat, better step outta sight

The two be goose steppin’

The two be goose steppin’

He got a lil’ squad, they be all yes men

Sayin’ “yes sir,” but they all just pretend

He be braggin’ ‘bout his riches, but he can’t even spend

Tryna swing big, but his punches don’t extend

Talk about respect but he ain’t earned none

Still runnin’ from the truth like he stole some .

Lookin’ in the mirror, see a fraud, not a don

Tryna build an empire but the bricks all gone

The two be goose steppin’

The two be goose steppin’

Doesn't that mean that all NATO allies should treat Antifa as a terrorist "organization", too?

AFAIK, NATO members need to declare terrorists as declared by another member as terrorists, too. That's why Europe is cracking down on the PKK. Might be wrong, though.

If it's according to the US government, I have no problem with being a terrorist.

I really hope they don't find our membership lists and download them at

"Bist du Antiantifa, bist du einfach FA"

Antifa and Spartacus collab when?
