It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦‍♂️

Stay safe out there!

Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!

So for some reason the US Government considers enemies of fascism to be enemies of the US Government. Why could that be, I wonder?

Because they don’t want people to be anti-fascist … they want people to be pro-fascist
