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!
Meanwhile, proud boys, 3pers, oathkeepers, and other actual groups that have comitted and have at their core principals actual acts of violence and terror…

These fucking morons in congress, antifa isn’t even an organization it’s an ideal, what the fuck.
It’s like Russia’s ban on “the global LGBT conspiracy”
I propose my Smith & Wessn 500 be labeled as antifa.
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
The harder they go, the less convincing we have to do they’re fascists.
Bill proposed by Senator Cassidy, and cosponsored by Cruz and Loeffler, what a surprise. Link to Bill
