F.B.I. says there is no evidence antifa participated in storming the Capitol.

[RememberMurray]

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Friday that there was no evidence that supporters of the antifa movement — a loose collective of antifascist activists — had participated in the pro-Trump mob that breached the Capitol building on Wednesday.

Steven D’Antuono, an assistant director at the agency, said in a call with reporters that there was “no indication” of the group’s involvement among the rioters who stormed the Capitol.

Yeah, he deserves contempt as well. That being said: He's so forgettable, though.

Is that because Antifa is just an idea?

Antifascism is an ideology, correct.

 

[Gopherlife]

Antifascism is an ideology, correct.

And Antifa is as well?

Antifa is short for antifascism. Any other questions?

Quick question: are you PRO facsism?

Because, to me, being anti facsist seems like a reasonable philosophy.

I think you mean "Umbrella Men" as clearly, his role was played by at LEAST 3 different people...

Sure, it does, but peoples' actions also help to define them, in addition to their stated ideology.

Actions... like smashing a fire extinguisher against a person's head?

It seems like you're suggesting that Antifa is just an idea, and not a group, which seems strange. When I search on the internet for "Antifa website", it brings up multiple groups of people with websites, and there even appears to be an "official" website that provides Facebook links to "chapters" in many different cities. The author of the article above might be confused, because the author mentioned that the "group's involvement" did not exist in this case. And, apparently, the assistant director at the FBI responded to a question about whether "a loose collective of antifascist activists" was involved. Are we talking about two different things?

I don't know if anyone did that, but it sure doesn't sound like a good idea.

Antifascism is an ideology. What you’re describing are antifascists, which, if you can parse despite your right wing media brain poisoning, is not a centrally organized group. Nice try.
