It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦‍♂️

Stay safe out there!

Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!

    They don’t seem to be very common elsewhere, but the lemmy devs are tankies, and mostly made it for their tankie friends (and probably weren’t overly thrilled when we normies migrated from Reddit), so they’re disproportionately represented here, even after most of them barricaded themselves inside lemmygrad.

      I’m aware yeah, just saying that it’s not a term really all that well-known outside of these circles.

        I’ve learned about it on Facebook like a decade ago. Also seen it used in places like twitch.

        But in all the cases, it’s been within leftish circles, never people on the right (by US standards at least).
