"They're spelt quite differently. The Weathermen underground were a U.S. radical left wing organization.
Antifa are antifascist. That's it. They're not even an organization, simply an international movement to oppose fascism. While those that may go under the banner of Antifa tend to be more left leaning in their politics, opposing fascism is the baseline of decency in a civilized country and so there can be a broad range of political ideologies amongst those who organize against fascist rallies and their supposed 'show of strength'."

I stand by the facts. Your failure to interpret them does not constitute a problem on my part.

Soooo... being murdered isn't part of the fight.
Anything else we should know, or are you happy with your personal set of definitions for now? I'm totally with you here tho, there's no other way you could still try to pull this off without going after language first.
Nice try, mod-pit!

Notice that phrase, "forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism." That is exactly what Antifa and BLM does. They are also racists, by definition contained in the very name BLM; it stands for "Black Lives Matter." Not "All Lives Matter"; say "all lives matter" to a BLM supporter and get ready for an earful and maybe a fist to the jaw. That is textbook racism: the belief that one's own race is inherently superior to others.
noun
- (sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
- (sometimes initial capital letter) the philosophy, principles, or methods of fascism.
- (initial capital letter) a political movement that employs the principles and methods of fascism, especially the one established by Mussolini in Italy 1922–43.

The overstanding theater again. Whatever. We're used to this, are we not?

At some point you're going to tell us that cops and Rittenhouse protested the actual people in power, which would be BLM, Antifa and SJW's on Twitter. And then you'll round up the old propaganda soup with a pinch of domestic terrorism, as all those fine 'free thinkers' did before, whilst telling yourself, that protest against racism and fascism in power would have to be considered fascist itself.
Well played, slow clap. And whats for dessert, Neckrack. Adrenochrome?

Look up "imperfect self defense".

Imperfect self-defense is an intentional killing committed with an unreasonable but honest belief that circumstances justified deadly force.

Whatever. Your incompetence isn't my problem. I'll just put you on ignore. If you can't be bothered to research basic facts concerning, well, anything, you'll be stuck in ignorance forever. Half the stuff you said isn't even correct, and if you don't realize it, fix it with education. If you do know it's incorrect, I can't help you.
Look up "imperfect self defense". And goodbye. You aren't worth it. Or worth anything.
