The Proud Boys did it several times across years in PDX, including driving into town in an armored bus, swinging hammers, until some antifascists took their hammer away and swung it back at them, at which point THAT's what made the news. They've been "wilding" for years, this is the same shit.

Hollywood's Anti-Nazi Spies - Jewish Review of Books

In 1934, Hollywood's Jewish moguls met secretly at the Hillcrest Country Club to hear an unusual pitch: find Nazis in America, and stop them.

Side note: some folks have been building secular alternatives to churches as sites for social services, incl. antifascists, anarchists, and abolitionists. But center-right America considers those groups' beliefs so fringe that they get ignored or even prosecuted for their work instead of supported.

Today my toddler woke me up just as I found myself having to explain to a bitcoin maximalist guy that he shouldn’t have to be worried about masked antifascists at the local makerspace. I may not have helped my cause by starting the conversation by yelling to the entire room ”Aha! That’s what’s […]

the primary distinction between fascists and antifascists is whether you see your political opponents or enemies as people, as fully human or not. A fascist drains their enemies humanity away and reduce them to objects deserving the worst of abuses. An antifascist does not.

dehumanization is fash shit actually. like leaving aside the transmisogyny here, Nazis and fash ARE people and i think it's important to remember that anyone who uses this type of language and rhetoric is a danger to everyone around them

The commemoration of the Shoah seems to have been emptied and all but abandoned within the left. Today, the reality of eliminatory antisemitism is denied rather than acknowledged.

There remains no room for mourning in all of this.
Especially not for collective forms of mourning. And yet, especially in times of accumulating crises, we need shared spheres of emotionality that are not under attack. Gatherings of solidarity that do not deny the collectively attacked and threatened any kind of human emotion and reaction, but support them. As the antifascist left, we too need spaces and opportunities for solidarity in which vulnerability is welcome and experiences of pain and loss can be mourned.

Without such collective mourning, the reservoir of life-affirming experiences from which we can draw strength and hope for our necessary struggles will also dwindle. And it remains necessary to stand up against political and contemporary adversities, against antisemitism and all other forms of misanthropy. It is becoming increasingly necessary to fight against Islamist and fascist forces and push back their advance.

As antifascists and feminists, on the evening of the 7th of October we want to oppose every ideology hostile to life with a moment of solidarity with Jews and those persecuted by Islamists and fascists.

We want to stand up for a liberated society of the future – a society in which we can be different without fear, so that we can become equals – and strengthen our conviction that such a society is possible despite the atrocities of the prevailing conditions. We want to remember this one certainty of the antifascists:
“For life, against death.”

Kind regards,
Feminism Unlimited Alliance

*We explicitly distance ourselves from actors who use such commemoration to legitimize racism and reactionary ideologies or to give them space.

As anti-fascists, it is also important for us to emphasize that anti-Semitism is not a unique characteristic of Islamists, but that Islamism and German anti-Semitism are historically and ideologically closely intertwined.

"Oh it's ok it's just the group that scares our political opponents, you know the antifascists" Why are you scared of antifascists my dude ?

I know a few Norse pagans who are lovely anti-racist antifascists. I don't know that heathenry is any worse than Christianity in regard to this sort of thing. In fact, I suspect Christians may well be worse per capita.
