Not to put too fine a point on it Kim but it looks like you guys ARE fascists. Fascism is not a belief system, it’s a set of tactics, and your groups seem well on the way to mastering many of them. Remember what the acronym NAZI stands for, National Socialists, and there was nothing socialistic about them. I understand all too well the pure motives of the young and idealistic, was that way once myself, and I might add during a time when the government reaction to we anti-war protesters was ACTUALLY close to police state violence and not the PC reticence of today. Way back then, many decades before you were born, our military was claiming the need to “destroy the village in order to save it”.

This is also the logic of Antifa; you can NOT protect democracy, free speech, human rights, by attacking anybody’s free speech and human rights, any more than you can save a village by burning it down. You are not invited to “fight for me”, when I see people hiding behind masks I will call them out as the enemies of democracy that they are. Take off your masks, put away the clubs and fists, stop acting like fascists and start respecting human rights, even those of the people you hate.
