"Woke". They say woke to somehow try to make inclusion sound like a bad thing.
They literally make "Antifa" out to be bad, lol. Like, sound it out: They're "against fascism". Shouldn't everyone rational reject fascism...?
I certainly hope no one is against the base goal of being against fascist. However, I think the criticism towards Antifa is more due to their means of reaching that goal.
Like fighting a war against Nazis?
I meant more the position of being "antifa". Isn't the actual organization decentralized and unstructured, like Anonymous? That's literally all I know about Antifa, and even that might be wrong...
Antifa isn't an organization. Yeah back in Nazi Germany it was, but nowadays its just a movement. There is no organization, any group or person can take up the movement, symbolism, etc of antifascist action (antifa). It is genuinely a situation of if someone is "anti-antifa" then they are either stupid or a fascist.
I think antifa is best described as a strategy to cope with fascist creep.
To describe it with the words of a German pu k Band: "Bist du Anti-Antifa, bist du FA" ( are you anti-antifa you are Fa(cist)).
"Movement", thank you. That's the term I was reaching for!
It still does. They try to turn everything good into a slur to devalue it. I'm woke and I'm fucking proud.
I'm woke as fuck because I support the Constitution and civil rights. Fuck me, right?
Stay Woke.
I don’t get why we don’t call the “anti-woke” crowd “the asleep.” It seems like if they want to treat becoming awakened as an insult, we should be reminding them that they’re the ones who have their eyes closed and are attempting to ignore all of history.
The optimist in me believes that some day the majority of them will wake up, the same way the majority of Germans eventually denounced the nazi party.
The sleeping fascists
The majority of Germans denounced the nazi party because of social pressure to conform, which is coincidentally the same reason the majority of Germans went along with the nazi party when they were in power. The majority of people in general are so politically disengaged that they may as well be leaves blowing in the wind.
I just tell them to go to sleep then if they are so concerned about being woke. They won't see the woke if they aren't woke.
I like that one. Might use it myself.
