Someone mentioned antifa at work the other day, and I said, "Antifa? I'm in. Shitting on fascists has been an American pass time for a century or better."

The looks of shock and horror on my coworkers faces was quite the sight to behold.

"Fascist journalist fears for life." I fail to see where the problem is. People would have been cheering this in 1945.

One problem is that what they're calling him is completely inaccurate. "Journalist" implies impartiality, of at least content with a non-zero amount of truth.

Isn't this the asian guy who doesn't understand that white supremacists only like white people and claimed to be suing the CEO of Antifa for damages that never actually happened?

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

"the CEO of Antifa" lmao

I thought this was Asian Elon Musk

I'm guessing that means this is also the dude who claimed people threw cement at him, when it was a milk shake.

Then they claimed the milkshake had cement in it, so people pointed out things like sugar would keep cement from hardening.

Then the cops said they had no reason to assume it was concrete, and no one suggested it was, despite them and the guy being the ones who said it was concrete.

Many issues with this headline, but one of them is the word journalist, which implies some form of neutrality. The headline should either be a L out a journalist that writes about antifa, or a pro-facism activist. I suspect from the context (Fox) that it’s the latter.

I believe that's Andy Ngo, so yes, absolutely a pro-fascist activist. He was caught on camera actively coordinating with Patriot Prayer, a far-right extremist group.

Well yeah Andy Ngo does literally hang out with fascists so that's a given lol

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago

It was so frustrating watching some people treat him like he was anything close to a real journalist. He's just the designated propagandist.

[-] jaamesbaxterr@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

Anti-antifa... That's just fascism with extra steps.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 23 points 9 months ago

Finally I understand what antifa means.

I am not American and have been out of the loop for years now.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 23 points 9 months ago

It was deliberately shortened to antifa and pronounced in a different manner to let conservative news media separate antifa from anti-fascism.

It's crazy how many people just on this meme think antifa is an actual organization. 🤦

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 9 points 9 months ago

How else they are paying their demonstrators money for each demonstration?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Soros, Bill Gates and the Bilderbergs, I guess? Probably also that Davos guy who Alex Jones et al TOTALLY aren't fixated on for antisemitic reasons either, nuh-uh!

/s in case it isn't abundantly clear

It's more than just "fascist journalist". Journalists report facts (at least that is what they're supposed to do), any "blah blah journalist" is just "blah blah"

Also, fuck this guy, he doesn't fear for his life, it's just a made up story so they can again shit on those they hate.

I seem to recall seeing a video or reading an article where they mention that the media turned antifa into a sort of separate word to warp its meaning. Instead of saying anti fascist, which has a clear meaning, they shortened it and changed the pronunciation 'an teefa' (something to do with which syllable you emphasise) so they could distort its meani g and demonise the word to make people think it was bad.

So now people dont realise antifa means anti fascist which is surely a good thing to be, and instead, they fear antifa as some kind of terrorist group, which is almost the opposite of what it is.

The funny thing is, as an outsider to this, living in the UK, our media doesn't ever use the term, and when i heard it, my instinct was to look up its meaning. It's interesting to me that i won't know if i would have fallen for it if the media were using it in the same way over here to lead my understanding of its definition

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

They have a constant and desperate effort to invent words they can’t define that categorize their blind rage since they’re not allowed to say one that starts with N. “Woke” is the newest one.

Be careful when you punch a fascist. You might hurt your hand/wrist. Best to read up ahead of time.
