    How about a new synonym? Antifa just triggers all the people that didn’t understand what it means. They think it means devil worshipping terrorists or something like that. It’s not winning at this point. Maybe that’s a good thing, 😂.

      Just say Against Fascism, and don’t let anyone abbreviate it. When they complain, ask, “are you pro-fascism?”

      Antifa is the modern version of the Soviet kulaks, which was their contemporary version of medieval witches. There are no shortage of historical examples of people making up groups that dont exist in reality to be afraid of, and thereby justify extreme and depraved actions against their countrymen. Anti-facism, anti-communism, or anti-christian, the social justification is pretty much irrelevant. Its all just an excuse for people in power to label anyone they want for execution. Its literally a witch hunt
