One more step toward authoritarian wet dreams.

Band Of Brothers is now banned from all streaming, as is saving Private Ryan, fury, and inglorious bastards.
Those are all terrorist propaganda.
Well of course, those were made by notorious antifa pizzagate mastermind Tom Hanks.
Says the extremist domestic terrorist organization currently occupying my country.
Edit: yes where ARE the Epstein files?
It’s useful because now they can claim anyone they want to ICE that they are Antifa.
“so are you a ‘explode something’ terrorist, or ‘Shares a meme that hurt someone’s fefe’s’ terrorist?”
I think I’m just a passive consumer of American life who doesn’t think fascism is all that swell, type of terrorist.
I guess they were correct that “we’re all domestic terrorists”… Except a lot of the calls to violence are coming from the other side, and I just had this title thrust upon me…
Oh no, they’re going to raid aintifa’s home address!
The antifa is coming from IN the house
great. come and get me.
Oh boy, I’m a double terrorist!
Is that a better or worse classification than Juggalos? Just saying I havent been seeing anyone with a hatchetman tattoo altering their behavior much

They know that Antifa isn’t real. This way they can call anything Antifa and it’s now a terrorist that has no human rights.
It’s not about Antifa, it’s about George Soros. Wait for it.

The vast majority of these tweets allege that Soros is paying protestors to riot, and that he funds antifa. A smaller number claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and enable the globalist takeover of America, while some go so far as to claim that George Floyd’s death was actually a false flag deployed by Soros in order to precipitate the current crisis.
White supremacists are so fucking stupid. And so fucking in charge of the USA.
The dogwhistle is just a bullhorn now.
Which is super weird because anti-jew but also like super pro- Israel
Israel is required to exist for some interpretations of Armageddon in the Bible. They hate them, but they need Israel to exist because it’s central to moving forward with the end of the world and their gods cleansing of the forces of evil and the ushering in of a new world order.
So keep that fun fact in mind when you hear Christians being really pro Israel.
Christianity - A doomsday cult so committed to fulfilling prophecy that they’ll kill all of us for the chance to prove their interpretation of God has a bigger dick than every other deity ever conceived. /s
To make it even more WTF, the religions they have the most issue with don’t even have a different diety, just different people saying he told them an updated message on the rules of life.
Israel is pretty great for anti-Semites; it’s a “somewhere else” to send all the Jews (with much better optics than Auschwitz) and it’s also pure fucking evil, and has its fingers all through many other governments, making their nutjob conspiracy theories actually look plausible sometimes.
Yeah, the actions of Israel are the number one cause of antisemitism in the world.
People who don’t know better start at accurate descriptions and righteous outrage over the atrocities committed by the IOF and the Knesset and the rage bait algorithms of social media take them down rabbit holes that lead to the actually antisemitic nonsense.
Hell, even if you know enough to avoid that, it’s sometimes hard to not be instinctively prejudiced against all Israeli people even if you’re not an antisemite.
Given that the vast majority of the population has been successfully brainwashed by decades of government indoctrination into thinking of all Palestinians as subhuman threats to their lives and thus are in favor of the oppression as long as the Israeli casualties are kept to a minimum, I must admit that I sometimes struggle with it myself…
As S. Ansky said ca. 1900 in his poem In Zaltsikyn Yam, [translated] “We (Jews) have heard this story before from our enemies, ‘A ghetto for the eternal kyke.’”
Because if there’s one thing they hate more than Jews, it’s Arabic people.
"Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”
Fascists of any stripe don’t have any problem with their perceived enemies fighting their other enemies on their behalf.
And it’s going to get worse before it gets better…
Yep, this just an excuse to send someone they don’t like to the concentration camps.
“We’re fascists therefore everything you do to oppose us is antifa”
Fasception
Antifa is very real. They started fighting the Nazis in Germany. Today we fight fascists all over the world.
It feels weird that people say that “antifa isn’t real”. There’s tons of groups using that name and symbols while doing Antifa type stuff. It’s just not a singular organization but rather a loose collection of separate groups.
Time for another Red Scare!
Kill all others.
Remember when Trump perked up after Zelensky told him they postponed their elections due to the war?
On this blessed day?
I know it’s a classic, but this made me think I should rewatch it.
Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.
Who’s intimidated by antifa? I swear the right is full of frightened infants.
Good! It’s ABOUT Time we label WWII vets as the TERRORISTS they Are!
If you are anti-anti-fa, that means you are fa. Do I need to spell it our more explicitly than that?
Don’t call them “fa” — that hurts their feelings!
Feelings don’t care about your facts.
No, wait! Something’s wrong here.
Or “so” or “la” or “tee” or “do”
#UnexpectedMusicSounds
Anyone not pro-fascist is a terrorist?
I’m so confused because I thought the Republican party ran on the “we are all terrorists” premise. Like, who’s on whose side?
We are all terrorists on this blessed day. — Ken M
Speak for yourself.
Apparently, yes!
Anyone that challenge government authority is a criminal and it has been the case for a long time.
I am antifa.
It’s so weird, like that should be the default, and not opt-in.
That’s the neat part, it is the default. the only way to opt out is to praise the leader loudly and often, and never in any way be critical of or inconvenient to the regime.
Evolution is slow, we’re still wired to kill anything that doesn’t look exactly like who we grew up around.
Everytime a society starts taking society for granted, like it’s some inalienable right that will always be there no matter what, we stop socializing our kids and stop enforcing social norms.
Then everybody acts shocked that humans are really just animals.
Being against fascism is 100% opt in, and even with socialization some people are gonna want it because it involves almost zero thinking
Like, if you wanted to design a system for producing people who hate thinking and just want ordered around…
It would be hard to do better than No Child Left Behind.
But for lol ke 30 years now no one has wanted to fix it. This is the natural result
Evolution is slow, we’re still wired to kill anything that doesn’t look exactly like who we grew up around.
Explaining socio-historical phenomena by appeal to evolution is a pretty dodgy move, and a defeatist one. People can do better, and in many places and times they have done and still do. Fascists are responsible for their fascism. We’re not evolved to be fascist; we have slipped into it due to very particular circumstances.
People can do better, and in many places and times they have done and still do.
Because they were socialized…
I had a buddy back in the day with a very well trained dog, the guy used bird calls instead of spoken commands, and the dog understood perfectly.
But go out and start whistling at some wolves and see what happens.
We’re not evolved to be fascist
Oh yeah?
Why does humanity have less genetic diversity than any other mammal that’s not critically endangered?
Why are we one of the few species that “coincidentally” had all our relatives close enough to resemble us on the family tree all just happen to die out?
Modern humans have been unchanged for 300k years, we’ve lived thru multiple ice ages and societal collapses without any change.
We evolved for chaos and rebuilding. The whole time narrowing down our genetic tree to the point it’s basically a telephone pole.
Why does humanity have less genetic diversity than any other mammal that’s not critically endangered?
Probably because of some event in the past that few individuals survived, so that all humans since have been descended from them. Homo Sapiens is a relatively recent species and genetic diversification takes time, so the genetic narrowing effects of such population reduction would still be felt today.
But it has nothing to do with character or temperament, and as far as I know there’s no evidence Homo Sapiens actively killed off its close relatives. For whatever reason they died off, while at some point we almost did too, but we just scraped through with less diverse genes as a result. That’s how it goes in evolution: tiny differences can sometimes be amplified due to environment and chance. It’s absurd to draw political conclusions, and to do so shows a misunderstanding of evolutionary processes and history.
An article about this:
https://www.science.org/content/article/how-we-lost-our-diversity
And a fun (but long!) video about the misuse of evolutionary theory to support psychological, political and social conclusions:
The system responsible for “love” and in group bonding also causes out group bias.
And in/out group is just based on who you’re socialized around as a very young child.
Overall, our findings suggest a pivotal role of the oxytocinergic system in the RIBE-modulated neural activities and revenge intention in human interactions with the modulatory effect of interpersonal trust
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39244015/
Oxytocin, he wrote, “motivates in-group favoritism” and “derogation” of outsiders. According to the study, oxytocin had “a role in the emergence of intergroup conflict and violence.”
According to a Vice report published this week, the study’s participants — all Dutch males — were told that they had to choose five persons out of six that would gain access to a life-saving lifeboat.
The men on oxytocin were more likely to deny men with Muslim or German-sounding names access and save the men with Dutch names, while the men who were given a placebo didn’t pay attention to the origin of the names.
https://time.com/49399/oxytocin-racism-study/
Oxytocin is incredibly important. It’s why we stick around with mates and raise children, it’s why we live in groups instead of solitary. And it is directly tied (especially to men) to bias and aggression to outgroup individuals (especially other men).
Which is literally what fascism is. It’s an institutionalized bias against “them” which uses fear and violence to control everyone.
Just because you can’t immediately see the connection doesn’t mean it’s not there.
But out group bias, whether by chance or because it’s beneficial, has always existed in modern humans. It’s tied to such a fundamental neurotransmitter that it couldn’t have made a sudden change, and again, humans are essentially unchanged for 300k years.
The problem like I said in the beginning, is that after a couple centuries of civilization socializing humans, humans start thinking that socialization isn’t important and any random human can just magically grow up into a well adjusted person.
It takes fucking work
this ignores how many precolonial societies were wholly nonviolent. there are three kinds of culture: pure cultures, remix cultures, and domination cultures. pure cultures resist outside influence on their culture. remix cultures integrate ideas and concepts into their culture very fluidly. domination cultures attempt to eliminate other cultures they encounter. the only reason you perceive it as a biological imperative this way is that domination cultures seek to acquire and justify the power to eliminate pure and remix cultures, and then they do, and the evidence that the pure or remix culture they eliminated is gone, no longer able to speak on how they see the world and the other cultures. give this process 20k years and eventually you have an extremely small number of domination cultures subjugating the remnants of the other cultures.
this is the situation we find ourselves in today. there is nothing saying it must be this way, except for the domination cultures themselves. we can work to stop the domination cultures, but as we do this we must learn to listen to the pure and remix cultures. part of why we must do this is that the domination cultures if treated as pure cultures will continue on their course. they must be converted to remix cultures, integrating into themselves the idea of remix and pure cultures that they don’t have to be so fucking violent all the time
I don’t do antifa, I am antifa
