I'm pretty sick of the obsession with #antifa / #fascist. It really is a counterproductive debate. There basically are no actual Fascists these days, current political parties are organized differently, and the people who are actually part of Antifa groups have always been small isolated groups. The words have become meaningless and dangerous, like just "person who I think is bad". Using the terms dehumanizes the situation and makes political solutions much harder.
@eighthave One could also say that the tight collaboration between the State and BigCo (BigTech, BigPharma, BigMedia,...) are very close to Fascism, or one could say "disguised fascism".
But you are right that the way the word is thrown around is absolutely counter-productive, and perhaps there is purpose in that. Who knows?
