(Note: I'm not claiming that Andy Ngo is a fascist in the above post, but criticizing anti-fascist efforts without sufficient statements on the threats they're responding to is, whether intentionally or not, a pro-fascist action.)

Just a reminder that environmental justice is M A N D A T O R Y in discussing ANY environmental issue or policy. When you don't think about marginalized groups in your environmentalism, the marginalized get blamed. You get get Malthusian myths and blaming climate change on "brown people breeding" instead of the global north's greed and rate of consumption.
When you leave out the marginalized, you get great environmental programs in white, gentrified cities and everyone else is left in the dust. Everybody deserves access to those programs, not just the rich. Not to mention that if those programs only exist those white, gentrified cities, they are absolutely useless in fighting climate change and pollution, and really only exist as ego-strokes for hipsters. The forces of capitalism and gentrification are an unavoidable barriers in protecting the earth and the people on it.
If an "environmentalist" ever tells you "those issues are important but not what we're focusing on" educate them the FUCK up! You should always, always always be considering environmental justice.

They think Antifa is an organization secretly funded by Soros because they can't imagine forms of organizing different than theirs.

If you're willing to accept that the field of psychology is subject to it's own kind of Overton window, (one that gauges acceptable social behavior instead of acceptable political behavior) then it's not unreasonable to suspect that there are abnormal psychological states and maladaptions that have become normalized to the point that they're now seen as being the norm. Let's turn this discussion towards capitalism, and the common argument that it's "human nature." Is it? Is it really reasonable to suspect that the creature that built societies to provide a primitive form of mutual aid is inherently fine with exploitation? Tell me, how does the child react when first exposed to the idea of homelessness? I've always wondered if the capitalist system is more a product of wide-scale normalization of an otherwise abnormal mindset than it is a product of our human nature.

Why street fighting is no way to resist fascism
The success of the French Popular Front lay in its ability to form a broad coalition on the left and to reach strata of the population traditionally ignored by communist parties. This is a lesson that antifascists today could do well to learn.
