The Birth of Antifa


1941:  A Russian soldier refuses to sit down; stands and stares Joseph Goebbels right in the eye.  His action won't change the war and won't change Goebbels, but look - he's already in a German concentration camp.  What has he got to lose?

"Antifa" means "anti-fascist."  Our bunker bitch president is trying to gaslight the country into believing that Antifa are the ones agitating and escalating the current civil rights and police brutality protests into riots.  He may even believe it himself.  But it's not Antifa, it's the exact opposite - it's white supremacists and fascist hate groups trying to trigger their long-desired race war.   Aantifa is probably present - wherever the fascists turn up, Antifa follows, often with violent results.  But Antifa, which is really just an ideology and not an organized group, is on the same side as the other protesters vis a vis civil rights and an end to police brutality.  


America is seeing some of the largest protests since the 1960s.  The murder by Minneapolis police of an unarmed, handcuffed black suspect triggered the movement, but it's also about the long legacy of unequal treatment of the races, the pent-up rage from 3½ years of the bunker bitch's blatant racism and immigration policies, the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus pandemic on minority communities, and the 40 million Americans now unemployed.

I don't advocate violence.  An eye for an eye only leaves everyone half-blind.  Violence solves nothing.  But if you are going to punch a nazi, make sure you keep your elbow up high, about 90⁰ to your torso, and then just thrust your fist forward into their face like you were launching a rocket through their face and toward the back of the head.
