Comment on FBI Labels Anti-Fascists and Anti-Racists as Violent Extremists
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 10 months agoWhat do you think was more optically advantageous for the left, a bunch of patriot front idiots getting arrested just for marching, or antifa and the proud boys brawling?
We’re not at the point of civil war. Optics are still more important than punching them.

Showing the fascists - and their spineless “centrist” allies - that they will face real opposition in the streets. When the fash start marching, that is the only optics that matter.
Arrested by whom? Their KKK and neo-nazi allies you optimistically call “police”?
You don’t have to believe me, Clyde… you can hear it straight from a neo-nazi, too.

Yes, I know, that’s my point. In a clash between fash and antifa, we know what police are going to do. If nobody engages with them and their behavior becomes such that the police themselves actually have to arrest them, that’s amazing.
