Whereas I, craven leftist beta, either write it all uncapitalised, like any common noun, or use sTuPiD CAps to take the piss out of how some people insist on treating it like a proper noun(Antifa), a portmanteau of proper nouns(AntiFa), or an acronym(ANTIFA). Not to mention how it is exclusively people opposed to antifa who insist that antifa is an organisation.
Man, with your heavy breathing at that fascist rally from the 30s and this advocacy for mass incarceration of your political opponents, I'm getting a little worried here.
People in ANTIFA literally refer to themselves in that way. You act as if I made the term up but there's literally a verified Twitter account called Antifa International so it's basically a noun at this point, a label that ANTIFA members give to their own organisation and political movement.
And don't twist my words. Pointing out the elegance and discipline in the Bund's MSG rally doesn't mean I support their ideas. I hate Communists with a burning passion, but even I can admire the regimentation of a Soviet military parade or how interesting the Red Guard uniforms looked. Appreciating aesthetics is not the same as subscribing to their ideas.
I also don't support 'mass incarceration of your political opponents'. People who are peaceful and non-violent and not members of a dangerous terrorist group should not be locked up, but domestic homegrown terrorists should go to jail. Is that crazy? Terrorists should go to jail? I guess that's an extreme position now. Go figure.
