God, aren't you glad we don't live in a police state that uses military might against its own people?

Making a non-organization that fights anti-fascism terrorist, when not a single self-proclaimed Antifascist has done any terrorist attack, while calling fascists and neo-nazi terrorists who actually do this kind of stuff "troubled people", is the clearest manifestation of what the US really is about.

"Why does this matter? The “outside agitator” trope is today often accompanied by a tirade against 'white anarchists. or 'Antifa' carrying out the rebellion — while people of color don’t. This is an attempt to isolate and weaken protesters from each other, to make the “good” protesters distrustful and paranoid about “infiltration” by white radicals. (Radicals of color, meanwhile, are nowhere to be found.) Fostering distrust among developing coalitions is a quick and easy way to ensure their swift demise."
I'm going to pull this quote out because it speaks to a tendency I've seen a lot in MSM. The idea that there's a clear distinction between "majority peaceful" protestors and "violent outsiders" is done to create a narrative that most people aren't out to take dramatic steps, and that those who are aren't really representative of the movement.
Don't let them divide you, peaceful protestors and non-peaceful ones both have a place in demanding social change, and should work in conjunction.
