@wildgrass saidAccording to the statement posted above, the govt is interested in domestic organisations {not AlQueda] that fuel or instigate violence. So if you read carefully, its not about opposition but the violence which can accompany it. The violence and the killing, the rioting and burning and destruction of property... like the kind that accompanied the George Floyd riots.
Al Qaeda has a website, and a leader.
Labeling antifa as terrorists seema like an obvious move to stifle political opposition.
@Rajk999 said...and you saw that Hamas is a distinct orgniasation complete with a manifesto, and people identified as leaders, while ANtifa is a generixc terms encompassing groups, that count themselves in or not.
Oh ... thank you. Here is the one for Antifa.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa
So Israel isw aging a war against Hamas and knows (at least roughly) for who they are looking (that would be all identifiablepeople who showed Hamas symbols or demonstrated their affiliaition).
For "Antifa" this will proove much more compliacted...and probably people can just be labeled to belong to antifa.
That is the same if you just kill people, because you "know".
@Ponderable saidHamas is more organised than Antifa... so what. Antifa aims to use violence to acheive political ends, and they do have symbols and flags and other stuff that can identify them.

@wildgrass saidOk .. So I get it ...lack of organisation gives them a free pass to practice violence, destruction of property and assassination of political opponents.
It's literally not an organization.

@Rajk999 saidFree pass? Last I checked those violent destruction things are illegal.

The "free pass" is being issued to the government here. If they're not an organization at all, but the government has labeled them one, they can freely label anyone who protests their government for any reason as a terrorist.
@wildgrass saidIt's hardly surprising that an administraton who's agenda checks all the boxes for fascist ideology would try to criminalize being anti-fascist (which antifa literally stands for).

@Suzianne saidthey will next say "everybody i don't like is antifa"
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
"Donald Trump said,"
Why does media fall for this every time?
Everything the man says is a lie.
There is no "Antifa". What a buffoon.
and because they are terrorists, there doesn't need to be a trial
Kimmel is no longer a comedian, he is antifa
AOC is no longer a democrat politician, she is antifa
Any judge that rules against the regime, antifa
But there is no fascism. Amerika is great. To say there is fascism it is irresponsible and actually murderous and it is the exact same as saying Trump deserves to die and in fact it would make you an accomplice.
Totally unrelated, when Kim Jong Il died, north koreans who appeared to not be grieving hard enough were arrested
@Rajk999 saidSince Trump says he will target the civilian families of terrorists...this means open season on anyone he decides is a leftist
President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday morning UK time.
It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it uncle ...[text shortened]... ce or elaborating.

@Rajk999 saidTwit.
What a bunch of stupid questions!! No violent organization, or terror group, walks around with ID tags, names, members, website and contact information. Are you for real asking that rubbish? That does not mean they do not exist or cannot be identified. If you are the type to go on a violent rampage and destroy property or kill people while demonstrating, I guess you are ri ...[text shortened]... afficking is going on. People like you that live thousands of miles from here should just be quiet.
Do you believe everything you're told?
Apparently.
@no1marauder saidTrue enough. We could see this coming a mile away.
It's hardly surprising that an administraton who's agenda checks all the boxes for fascist ideology would try to criminalize being anti-fascist (which antifa literally stands for).
@wildgrass saidRepublicans = We will describe what we're doing, and blame the left.

@wildgrass saidwhat is scary is not knowing who is running the country when biden was posing as the frontman. an invalid that would actually shyt his pants in public.
Who's the leader?
How many members?
Do they have a website?
If someone in the government were to label a person they didn't like as an antifa and then punish them accordingly, is there anyone at all that would question what the criteria is for that label and punishment?
They're blowing boats out of the water in foreign territory, without justification.
You're too trusting of government. Seems scary to me mate.
