Still seems bonkers to me they made anti-fascists the bad guys.
It demonstrates they don’t comprehend basic English - this statement included.
A friend asked me what is antifa… I started carrying crayons after that encounter.
Maybe we need a rebranding change the name to anti-evil. Instead of fascist you say evil
But then someone’s gonna sweep in with a moral relativistic argument about how “evil is a social construct” and “there’s no such thing as absolute evil” and that labelling something as evil is “essentialist”
This person may also rant against postmodernism
I don’t get it. I thought moral relativism, anti-essentialism, and critiquing social constructs are all elements of post-modernism?
Or are you saying I would rant against postmodernism? Cause while I find deconstruction to be useful in certain contexts, denying the existence of evil as a concept seems like an absurdity.
Instead, I find the challenge to be in defining precisely what constitutes evil in a way that’s both narrow enough to not be overextended, while being comprehensive enough to avoid letting certain things slip through the cracks.
For instance, some things are objectively evil. Slavery, rape, genocide, torture, bombing civilians, child abuse, etc. It would be ridiculous to make a moral relativistic argument against that.
Some things are not so clearly defined, however. Is capital punishment inherently evil, or does it ever have justified cause? Is eating meat inherently evil? Does that mean everyone who eats meat is an evil person? Another one is this: does circumcision count as child abuse, therefore making it evil? Is modern capitalism literal wage-slavery, making the entire system evil?
Some people might have firm convictions about the answer to these questions, but if many people have diametrically opposite yet equally firm convictions, does that make the issue in concern a morally relativistic one?
So defining evil certainly isn’t a simple task. But if we had to throw out every concept that’s hard to define, we’d have to abandon use of the term “fascism” as well (you know what they say about nailing jelly to the wall).
Another question about defining evil: is it a property of actions, of agents (actors; i.e., people who do evil things), or of dispositions (tendencies, habits, attitudes, etc.; things that are consistently held properties rather than isolated incidents), or some other thing?
In other words, if a person tortures a civilian, would you say “He’s an evil person,” “He did an evil thing,” or “He has evil dispositions.” Or perhaps some combination of the above?
Outright rejecting the existence of evil, however, is a flaw of post-modernism. And a true post-modernist wouldn’t take that to mean that all of post-modernism is flawed, but simply that it has flaws.
I’m saying that the people currently holding a farcically post modernist take on the idea of evil, are often also ideologically opposed to post modernism. You may say this is contradictory, but to that theoretical you, I say, “yeah, but the main ideology that does this is fascism, and they don’t care if they’re self contradictory”
Soon: “if being evil is bad then I don’t want to be good!!”
An old woman in a wheelchair stands up to ICE and you’re implying she’s a loser?
That woman has more courage in her pinkie toe than you have in your balls you little shit

Standing up for the weak? That’s bad now?
The enemy is both inferior and weak, but also they are taking over and should be feared. Please believe both, it’s incredibly important that you do
They cant even stand up
Uh ya. Turns out individuals who had to overcome social, economical, and political oppression seem to be POC, disabled, queer, or a women. They don’t see any able bodied white Christan men at the front and freak out. It’s because they think we’ll treat the way they treat everyone else. So Ya conservatives just think everyone is as evil as they are
I look at that photo and think “hell yeah!”
mechanised infantery in the front
Dumbasses are unable to understand that antifa is a nationwide movement not a centralized organization.
*international
Not even that.
Anitfa = antifascist
Are you a fascist? If not, then you are antifa.
No movement needed, but like minded antifa people gatherings are good.
I am as antifascist as everyone else
No, you have to be against fascism. If you are neutral you would not be antifa
I disagree. If you are permissive or tolerant of fascism, even if you yourself don’t actively engage, you are a fascist cunt in my books.
When it comes to fascism, you are either for or against, there’s no in between.
Kinda like saying “I’m not a murderer myself, but I see nothing wrong with others being murderers.”
Inaction is the sum of it though. Neutrality is benign, but you should probably remove it anyways, right. They aren’t holding up their end of the bargain in a society, which is unfortunately taking a side on things. Not being at the table does not make them complicit by and large, but it allows it to happen.
They also allow good things to happen that they don’t necessarily agree with, because they stand aside and grumble to themselves and their tiny circle if not outright ignoring it. It doesn’t mean they should not be involved but humanity as a whole has a pact mentality, whereas it’s someone else problem, where are we going today?
Not being at the table does not make them complicit by and large, but it allows it to happen.
Isn’t allowing it to happen being complicit though? I’ve always been taught that if you stand there and watch some bully beat up another kid, you’re taking part in the bullying
I don’t think there is a “right” answer. They allow good things to happen too, are they responsible for that as well, or just the bad things that happen? Bystanders are simply a fact of life, it’s the doers who bear the responsibility. Look at mob mentality as an example.
I disagree.
If you’re “neutral” you’re a fascist who’s afraid to admit it.

Damn that’s inspiring
I’m picking the one in the helmet for my team of hardened badasses. Anyone who owns a helmet is probably ready to go the distance.
looks like a character from tank girl
Strange guardians of the galaxy vibes from the 3 in the front. Drax, starlord, and rocket.
I was getting a Sarah Connor vibe from the middle lady
I guess they prefer the orange turd that would be bested by a 10 years old in all fields but bullshitting.
Ive known some precocious young ones who could give him a run for his money
4 years ago, I was at a beach party, and stepped down to the water to be downwind of the group for a smoke. My best friends 6 year old walks up to me and asks “can I have a smoke?”
I tell him no way, hes way too young for such a bad habit. “But my parents let me smoke, all the time”"Yeah right, they dont even smoke anymore (quit before his older sister was born)
“When we went to Russia. They let me smoke there. Everybody smokes there. Id have one after the sauna, and one after dinner each night.”
It was true. They had just got back from russia, a couple months ago. (They were actually there visiting the wife’s parents when the war broke out. Whole family managed to escape though, to a relatives home in Bulgaria, and her mom was in the process of emigrating to the US, although I think thats on hold because shes not sure Trumps America is better than Putins russia)
I knew the grandparents smoked, and dont know enough about Russian culture, so it might be plausible. I know the kids had been offered a shot of vodka, and had spit it out.
I ended up reiterating he was way too young for such a gross habit, and we went back up to the party. When I told his parents, they had a laugh about it. He would sit around after dinner / sauna with the men, and have a candy cigarette while they all smoked. She also added hed gotten way better at lying over that month.
For just a second I thought Terry Crews was leading Antifa
Old spice bodywash is too powerful to stay in its own commercial!
Nah he doesn’t have the balls. Too concerned with keeping his image as clean and uncontroversial as possible and trying to sell himself in China
I saw the thumbnail of a topless dude in the middle of a crowd and thought it was gonna be Technoviking
Only for a split second but it was glorious
