Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Prrreeetty concerning. Obviously there is no Antifa as an organization and but I would be cautious to call this meaningless. Seems more likely they will use this to slap domestic terrorism charges or conspiracy charges on anyone who is organizing against ~~incipient fascism~~ fascism in progress in this country. Stay safe out there, hopefully this won't affect me because I am a center-left Democrat.

I do like that they list anti-fascism as obstructing ICE and law enforcement, which means that those groups are .... hmm I'm drawing a blank here.

Think it’s more meaningful it’s not an org. They’re targetting antifascism as an ideology

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

But its given the designation "~~foreign~~ domestic terrorist organization" which seems like it wouldn't get past the federalists in scotus.

GOP SCOTUS could create some bizarro world ruling to keep themselves and Trump happy. They don't give a fuck how nonsensical or hypocritical their actions are.

It doesn't matter. The point of categorizing people as terrorists is so they are assumed to be inherently dangerous. It is so you can just shoot them or stick them in a back site torture dungeon. You don't have standing to appeal their definition of terrorism if you're dead or being fed fish skeletons at the bottom of the oubliette.

I am a center-left Democrat

I’m a fiscal conservative centrist libertarian. fellow-kids

But really, I agree that this is not insignificant.

I guess I now get to ask liberals if any of their favourite politicians have said they will lift the ban on antifascism.

EDIT: I also wonder if there are countries that will accept american refugees on the basis of political persecution for being antifascist.

frothingfash THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW! We NEED to vote for the dem candidate, 110% Hitler, or else 111% Hitler will win! He doesn't even want death camps, he just wants to shoot undesirables in the street! How could you leftists possibly support something like that?!

(I used the fash not the lib emoji because they are functionally identical at this point)

FBI and ICE busts the doors down on a retirement home to black bag a 98 year old WWII veteran and charges him with terrorism and anti German hate crimes.

The arrested some old people at the pro Palestine Action protests in the UK, so basically at this point =(

By the way, the US funded, trained and armed Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria.

But they are very serious about fighting terrorism

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

dumb and evil but they already had the legal framework to arrest you for doing good things like resisting ICE so this really just amounts to Trump virtue signaling to his base.

As Hexbears resident Neoliberal I view this attack on our free speech with concern.

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago

It was only a matter of time. Libs have always hated antifa. Even in the mid-10s you couldn't take 5 steps on Reddit without seeing massively upvoted comments on mainstream subs calling them "terrorists" and "the real Nazis."

[–] roux@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is the point where your neighbors start calling you ANTIFA and you get disappeared. Stay safe out there, comrades.

I'm actually anti anti antifa. That's still ok I think

[–] Omegamint@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago

We all learn in the US about horseshoe theory. Thus, as a communist, I can’t be considered antifa since I’m basically the same as a fascist or something. Go find some liberals those guys probably are those antifa guys

I am a moderate state capitalist and any personal information I've divulged on this site has been full of lies designed to implicate other people.

That being said, this seems like it will be abused to target political groups republicans don't like.

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

Terrorism's legal definition is already overblown but but this seems like a bigger expansion. Doxing is now terrorism?

[–] Coca_Cola_but_Commie@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

In response to this the Democrats, always eager to outflank the Republicans to the right, should dissolve their party and reconstitute it as the Democratic Fascist Party.
