Transcription: I Just Found Out that My Child's History Teacher is Forcing Them to Learn About Antifa Leaders. What is this Country Coming to?

Wikipedia page on Anti-fascism, listing Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Charles de Gaulle as Counterrevolutionary Anti-fascism examples

PS: Don't worry, today (9/17/2025) is the day that the house committee deliberates on Macro Rubio's ability to use the people's freedom of speech as evidence of terrorist organisation aid.

H.R. 5300, SEC. 226. NO PASSPORTS FOR TERRORISTS AND TRAFFICKERS

So it's just a matter of time before all the Antifas are sent to concentration camps.


PPS: Sorry everyone, looks like this post got too many upvotes and influenced American politics.

Nearly half of America seems to be although I'd argue they're too stupid to even realize it.

They are like "nuh uh. You're the facist." When you read them the definition of the word they say google changed it.

It's so fucking infuriating... The very same "facts over feelings" group will deny the veracity of any fact provided unless it comes directly from their propagandist of choice...

People seem to have forgotten that the core conceit of George Orwell's 1984 isn't the surveillance state or the constant war or the two minutes hate and all the rest. It's the idea that by perverting what people even understand as truth you can get them to do anything.

Anti-fascists are Fascists, criticising someone who spouted hate speech is hate speech, anti-racism is racist.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

This is why I only listen to my mom, she's always right!

More charitably we can say half the population trusts their tribal influencers to know what they are doing.

Before you go condemning them all, the tribal influencers telling people The Establishment Democrats know what they are doing or also misleading people. And people still do not seem to realize it.

Everyone trusts the wrong people.

This really feels like a polite way of trying to both sides that people who are bigoted assholes are exactly the same as people who dislike bigoted assholes.

I disagree, i don't think the person above is saying both sides are the same in terms of policy. But that both sides are being looked at as smart, impactful leaders that know how to play the game of politics.

Moderate liberals have elected people that they consider to be smart moderate liberals and they trust them to do the right thing. But a moderate liberal solution to actual fascists taking over the government is not an appropriate response. Just ask the social Democrats of the Weimar Republic.

My mom says that this is great because this is what she voted for, and she is always right!
