US designates four European anti-fascist groups as terrorist threats

"It is so sad to see this extreme conservatism in the US," added Bossis. "It seems to me that this is part of a [Trumpian] strategy to divide the world between the 'good right' and 'bad left'. It makes no sense unless you see it in the light of blackening the name of anyone with centre-left or progressive views because these guys don't advocate violence."…

Trump Attacks Anti-Fascists But Is Silent on Boogaloo & Far-Right Groups...

President Trump claims without evidence that anti-fascists are inciting riots at protests against police brutality, but has downplayed groups like the “boogaloo” movement, which are using the protests as cover to carry out violence, even murder. “We know that in this country the far right holds a monopoly on political violence and that since September 11th, far-right extremists have killed far more people than members of any other ideology,” says Cassie Miller, senior research analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center. We also speak with journalist Ali Winston about a new BBC investigation into how the neo-Nazi militant group The Base is grooming and recruiting teenagers online.

What Is Antifa, Really? | Alternet

The Charlottesville white supremacist rally left one woman dead, dozens injured and a country grappling with questions about how such a thing could happen on the streets of a supposedly liberal college town. Adding media insult to national injury, the tragedy inspired a festival of false equivalency from pundits on both sides of the aisle, who considered the anti-fascist or Antifa counterprotesters just as bad as those chanting "blood and soil."....

6 Examples of Fake News About Antifa | Alternet

Part of this absurd effort to somehow make antifa into a hate group takes place online in the places where memes and hoaxes are born. The alt-right is essentially an outgrowth of the internet, and its members and sympathizers are adept at using social media to spread toxic misinformation about antifa. Buzzfeed reported in May that there’s been a recent boom in “the creation of fake Twitter accounts that claim to be linked to activists in the United States who call themselves anti-fascists, or Antifa.” Those fake accounts and bots spend a lot of time sharing lies or misrepresentations that can go viral, make the news and allow them to control the narrative. While antifa members are in Texas helping flood victims (alongside Black Lives Matter activists), neo-Nazis and alt-right trolls are cranking out campaigns to confuse people who just heard about antifa last week.

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney wrote on Twitter, "No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes."....
