He's saying GIs are being besmirched by association with antifa. You appear to be saying antifa is besmirched by association with GIs.

Anyway, it's a meme, and an effective one. That's how communication is done these days for younger people. You're not the target audience (I'm making presumptions about your age)

edited: I'll add that the POINT is that at one time direct action was used against nazis by our ancestors, so one shouldn't look askance at people using direct action against nazis in the street.

irrelevant to my post. WarGamer Friday #4

Thank you! ZDU Friday #21

Wrong SamuelTheThird Friday #2

S/He's not "wrong" AZJonnie Friday #7

Read it again SamuelTheThird Friday #8

Okay, that one word is probably incorrect AZJonnie Friday #11

It's not correct in the least SamuelTheThird Friday #12

I don't disagree with what you're asserting Antifa is today. AZJonnie Friday #16

It's an effective fucking meme, comparing gis to antifa SamuelTheThird Friday #17

No it isn't. Because the military is not "anti-fascist". LeftInTX Friday #19

Youre disagreeing with OP SamuelTheThird Friday #23

It actually goes both ways. Because they are not the same. LeftInTX Friday #29

I do understand why you took it in totality the way you did. Perhaps WG will come along to clarify. AZJonnie Friday #20

I took it in totality because HE said modern antifa is simply a front group for the communism SamuelTheThird Friday #24

Yes, I already said I understood why you took it the way you did. The word "today" clouded the point. AZJonnie Friday #25

I could have used the term neo-antifa I guess... WarGamer Friday #40

I think you're engaging in sophistry SamuelTheThird Friday #43

Fortunately I never claimed that. WarGamer Friday #44

Spurious SamuelTheThird Friday #45

Fun fact! dpibel Friday #51

Hey on the plus side the OP managed to get through a comment about WW2 BannonsLiver Friday #31

I never said that... got a link? WarGamer Friday #41

Thanks for the history lesson. Always good to have the facts AZJonnie Friday #3

Salem, Oregon Ani Yun Wiya Friday #38

Ah, thank you AZJonnie Friday #39

Speak for yourself WSHazel Friday #5

You're completely missing the point. WarGamer Friday #6

These people are (or were, until recently) out in the streets actually fighting real neo-nazis SamuelTheThird Friday #9

GIs were absolutely anti-fascist in service DoBW Friday #34

Neither should people who want Medicare For All leftstreet Friday #10

Really, nobody in the USA uses the term Antifa in that sense. MineralMan Friday #13

Your dad was under orders of the US military which was fighting Germany, which happened to be fascist. LeftInTX Friday #15

More nomenclature. MineralMan Friday #18

My dad got in during Korea. He was a B29 pilot. Then stayed in for 20 years. He was also sent to Vietnam LeftInTX Friday #26

Thank you! GI's are not protesters! The US military is also not technically "anti-fascist". LeftInTX Friday #14

Words can have more than one meaning LostOne4Ever Friday #22

Calling Antifa an "organization" today is a stretch. yardwork Friday #27

Don't Exist OC375 Friday #28

It does exist. Portland has an active group. You can read more on their website: LeftInTX Friday #32

... BannonsLiver Friday #30

nice meme WarGamer Friday #42

Wingnuts/MAGAts from their ignorance usually blur words/concepts, such as saying "We are a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY" & UTUSN Friday #35

Oddly, if you ask any Republican if they support fascism they would say, "No". LeftInTX Friday #37

Remind me again which side Stalin and the USSR ended up on in World War Two? muriel_volestrangler Friday #36

Many of them also fought against Communists in the Korean War LeftInTX Friday #46

Trump would love your OP. Kingofalldems Friday #47

ok WarGamer Friday #48

When are you headed over to Glendale for the big CK lovefest? BannonsLiver Friday #49

What's in Glendale? Other than nice rug and flooring stores? WarGamer Friday #50

Maybe Huntington Beach would be more of his vibe? fujiyamasan Saturday #56

Democrats are the party of slavery Buzz cook Saturday #52

WarGamer? You've no idea how wrong you are. ANTI-fascist equals ancianita Saturday #53

All that time and effort and still wrong. WarGamer Saturday #55

Yes. ancianita Saturday #57

And how can you say they were "never" a communist front group. WarGamer Saturday #59

Here is antifa's letter to trump, the first and last time antifa in the U.S. spoke up for itself. ancianita Saturday #54

Neo-Nazis aren't an organization either... it's a loose alliance of like minded people mirroring a historical group WarGamer Saturday #58

I'm going to self del... not because it's inaccurate... WarGamer Saturday #60
