That was my instant thought too.
But I received assurances from everyone here this means i can still have antifascist ideals and express an opinion that draws parallels between this administration and dictatorships so long as i remain non-violent when I do it.
plus my positions against fascism are largely shaped by the scapegoating and lies of regimes, particularly the Jews, LGBT, Gypsies, and Bolsheviks during the Holocaust, and it revolves around drawing attention to it when I see "mass demonization" parallels in Modern society. Which i see happening now. And blood also works in my favor too.
And I'm trying the benefit of doubt thing.
Im ignoring the reality where ANY protest calling Trump a dictator can be deemed Antifa by association (now.)
Technically, "No Kings," a march I PROUDLY participated in could be deemed antifascist. Especially if there were some with flags, and there were. And while it's exactly like this administration to exploit that loophole, I have received assurances that will not happen. They are about constitutional rights to free expression.
But if it does, what do assurances matter then?
