Conservatives look at this picture and see intolerant antifa extremists invading a peaceful conservative country because they have different political opinions.
It’s right there in the name - Anti-FAscist. If someone thinks AnTiFA is bad, check if they’re waving fascist flags before engaging in any debate with them in a good faith.
Conservatives are incapable of good faith arguments. It’s completely pointless trying to argue with them about anything
The problem is, they don’t think being anti-fascist is bad, they just don’t think the fascists that Antifa is against are actually fascists.
And the DPRK has “democratic” in its name. There are so many better arguments to use.
And Nazis were originally socialist. The list goes on…
No, they weren’t. They famously co-opted the “socialist” name because the actual socialists of the time were by far the largest voting base. It was an attempt to attract some of them to their own party.
Like everything a conservative does, putting the word “socialist” in the party name was deception and manipulation. It’s like when conservatives append the word “freedom” or “family” to something that is absolutely not supportive of those values.
Wasn’t the issue the use of “antifa” by US “press” to describe anyone violent at any protest? I’m not American, here in EU it’s not a term that is used, at all.
That’s ultimately what it ended up being. 10 years ago your average person had never heard of it. And your average redneck was completely clueless about it. But over the last 10 years corporate media has turned it from an obscure group from World War II Europe. Into one of the new Boogeyman they constantly beat against.
This was largely due to the fact of the groups rather libertarian / anarchist structure. There aren’t any real Representatives or any solid membership etc etc etc. Just a nebulous group that’s easy to misrepresent.
Antifa movement originated in Germany.
Aunt Tifa is evil! /s
The name says one thing, but:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-resolution/279
S.Res.279 - A resolution calling for the designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
They have been terrorizing for years now.
EDIT: Remember, Jesus loves you.
Yeah conservatives in 2019 were really riled up by the Antifa boogeyman they created and congress labeled them terrorists. Bill was introduced by Republicans - co-sponsored by Ted Cruz. What’s your point? 🤷♂️
Conservatives are a lost cause and we should stop catering to them.
Send the word, send the word, over here?
Affirmative
This poster needs to be on every fucking wall
I’d love to print this on a yard sign and stick it out by my sidewalk if I wasn’t absolutely certain it’d get my tires slashed or worse.
Print it out and stick it in the yard of any pro-Trump neighbors.
what if you get caught doing it?
Claim you weren’t putting a sign in their lawn, you saw some kids leave it and were pulling it out!
sounds similar to the brown shirts
I wonder if theres a high quality version, I’d love to print out large versions and post them all over town.
You could probably use an image upscaler. You can find free options on the Internet.
Love this style & message.
Antifa literally means anti-fascist. The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were “antifa.”
It might mean that technically, but the organization itself is domestic terrorism at this point. You can label anything you want, doesn’t change the actions of the members.

This has been known for years now.
What “organization”? There is no antifa “organization”. Anti-fascism is an ideology. If you are opposed to fascism, you are anti-fascist.
Don’t worry. I’m not accusing you of being opposed to fascism.
I’m just going based off the congressional bills labeling them domestic terrorists, that’s all.
Congressional bills proposed by … fascists?
The bill you reference was introduced by an outspoken fascist, though. So that makes sense.
Also, the bill was not adopted.
That’s not “all.” You’re a fascism apologist.
Introduced, not passed. They are not a terror organization and calling them as such is an attempt to discredit a political movement for the sake of fascists and racists. There have been analyses, reports, and studies that have concluded that antifa is not a major domestic terrorism risk.
Introduced congressional resolutions are not known for their objectivism. I’m not saying the opposite is true, only that what something is has very little to do with what individual political figures want it to be. I mean, Indiana tried to legislate the value of π to be exactly 3.
Not a meme, unfortunately.
oh come on he only said he’d be a dictator for one day. that’s not that bad, is it?
But but Biden still hasn’t climbed into a fighter jet and bombed Netanyahu’s house!! Nor has he taken a programming course to create a virus to inject into the IDF’s targeting systems to redirect their missiles back onto them!!! Biden bad, not gonna vote!!! /s
Is that ww2 or Korea era edited propaganda?
It’s not like it matters really, Americas role in both wars was to take the reins of fascism instead of oppose it…
fucking cringe.
You’re wayyyy past electing a fascist, boy!
People forget Reagan. And the Bush Klan. Ole Prescott Bush was connected to the Wall street putch. He missed his chance at US dictatorship. But he groomed his son and grandson well. To cause as much damage as possible. “Mission Accomplished” Am I right?
Prescott and his fascist cronies were stopped by an actual patriot, retired general Smedley Butler. A man who so despaired of the wars he helped wage that he became an anti-war later in life.
I’m sure you know this since you are aware of the plot, but I’ll never miss an opportunity to bring up this American hero.
Yes. Though they unfortunately were not stopped. Just largely delayed unfortunately. FDR playing fast and loose cut a lot of backroom deals which led to the temporary New Deal programs. Which were a great thing in the short term. But as a concession hr let a lot of the fascists go and kept a lot of the information from actually becoming public. And as a result. They’ve largely dismantled the new deal policies. And spent the last century simmering and growing stronger and stronger till we get where we are today. Butler was absolutely a hero though.
Same shit every time. Bunch of Nazi scientists? Why prosecute when we can use them!
I just don’t know anymore. Squash fascists and someone always finds a way to let way too many off the hook. Let them come into the open and we get… the nightmare timeline we’re in now (thanks Ms Schlafly).
don’t almost every us president in recent memory?
In terms of Republicans of last century? Sure. In terms of democrats? No not really. Obama, Biden, and Clinton are not fascists. They are just appeasers. Which is definitely not a good thing but very different.
if you sit on the table with nazis, and even work hard to appease them, what are you really?
i strongly disagree. tehy took the reigns of a fascist government and did nothing to dismantle that power. fuck every one of them.
Message == good
Graphic == huh
