It should come as no surprise that the lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] admin team
took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta. Their
transparent and opportunistic scheme to commodify the fediverse and it’s users
will not be allowed to proceed. We strongly encourage other instance
administrators to do the same, given the grave threat they pose to the
fediverse.
Antifa are not ultranationalists. The vast majority are anarchists and communists, which are internationalist ideologies. Literally the polar opposite.
You could call them an authoritarian paramilitary group, but they’re not nazis. That doesn’t automatically make them good, it’s just that nazism is a specific political ideology.
I’ve yet to meet an anarchist following anything like a coherent ideology in that respect. They all seem very eager to impose themselves on others. I suppose one guy took a more academic position, but still seemed to idolise violence. Maybe the authority is decentralised, but frequently wielded as explicit force. Not far from libertarianism in that regard. Doesn’t appeal.
Cluster munitions, for all I care. What’s that got to do with anything? I was explaining my use of the word authoritarian. I’d make them illegal, if I were in a position to do so. But my place in society is installing irrigation and water management systems, I have to focus on that.
So you admit that Antifa are as Nazis like Maga are? Or are rightoids worse for some arbitrary reason again?

Half of them are anarchists, calling them authoritarian is a grandpa’s facebook-tier understanding of the situation

What is your solution to prevent nazi rallies?

Stopping nazi rallies is the main thing antifa does. You seem to oppose them doing it.
But you’re not. None of us are. So that leaves what other options?
No, I didn’t say that. Perhaps you’re thinking of somebody further up the comment chain.
test comment to see if this shows up, the other comment doesn’t
