When
done correctly, principled anti-fascism utilizes constitutionally protected free speech and the right to protest to impose a cost on those who publicly endorse white supremacy. Groups such as Neo-Nazis, Klansmen,
Aryan Nation activists and Skinheads can all expect firm opposition if they choose to hold an event or otherwise attempt to intimidate and threaten people of color.
In practice....Antifa activists in The United States have proven to be nothing more than whiny, intolerant costumed children lashing out at anyone and anything they
don’t like. Impulsive and Intellectually
lazy, American Antifa wannabes lack either the will or the ability to learn the philosophical underpinnings of their white supremist opponents. As such, they simply can’t tell the difference between a member of a hate group calling for a race war against blacks and jews, and a
Republican calling for lower taxes and deregulation. The result is embarrassing public tantrum throwing rather than effective anti-
fascist protest. Having given themselves license to publicly excoriate anything they
don’t like, they have become symbols of ignorance and intolerance emblematic of an emotionally fragile, thin-skinned generation of young
people entitled to be neither offended nor challenged. They are a
pathetic, cos-play imitation of anti-fascism and deserve only to be laughed at or forgotten altogether.
