Watching people be upset about identity politics is hilarious. Guess what shitheads, literally every political ideal originates from identifiers. If you’re a fundamentalist Christian, and you don’t want abortion to be legalized because you see it as something that’s against your religion, you’re using your identity to inform your politics. If you’re a worker and you believe you should be paid more for your work, you’re using your identity as someone who makes little money to influence your political views. These people are generally deep in the core reactionaries, whom have adopted disillusion of capitalism, but haven’t adopted leftist identity politics. Thus leaving them in the broken dumpster fire no-folks-land of the economic left, social right.
Those people can get straight fucked right out of here.

This noscript We Are Antifa is a response to Donald Trump’s declaration that the United States will be designating Antifa a terrorist organization. This makes no sense because Antifa is not an organization; at its most basic it’s a term given to anyone who opposes fascism. Therefore, we are Antifa and we are terrorists.
This is perhaps the most dangerous comment Trump has yet made, his public declaration that he is a fascist. Already, it’s had huge effect. On-the-ground protesters and activists are now saying that FBI is interviewing arrestees regarding their connection to “anti-fascist sentiment.” On June 3, an opinion piece by Republican senator Tom Cotton was published in The New York Times calling for the deployment of the military in order to dominate dissenters. Two days before this, Cotton declared on Twitter that protesters should be killed: “No quarter for Insurrectionists.”
This is where we are now: a fascist calls for the murder of protesters and gets an op-ed in the Times while out-of-control police roams the streets terrorizing and brutalizing peaceful protesters. Trump himself had peaceful protesters tear-gassed and beaten outside the White House on live TV in a brutal warning to Americans that he has the police and military behind him, that he will use lethal force, and that dissent will be crushed. The danger of all this can’t be overstated: not only has fascism arrived in the United States—it’s winning.
