President Trump’s executive order threatened to prosecute donors who support antifascist philosophy and issued a domestic terrorism designation that doesn’t exist under U.S. law.
There’s a word for anti-anti-fascist

Imagine thinking signing a piece of paper with a series of open faced triangles Thanos snaps an idea out of existence.
a) conservative vocabulary is just repeating what others say
b) people call them fascist, therefore they will call others fascist back
c) they will call the next Democratic admin fascists (assuming there’s still elections) which would let you target conservatives for being antifa terrorists
I know it’s all BS and unlikely to work that way but hey
A fat guy signed a paper, who cares? It has no legal weight other than, directing the fascist beura of Investigation, to do what it’s been doing for 100 years, targeting leftwing activists and militias. I put more weight in the constitution and the founding fathers rather than these fat ducks.
If you are anti-antifa, that means you’re fa.
Mr. Trump’s order said that he was declaring antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” — a designation that does not actually exist under U.S. law
Here’s the problem with just saying he can’t do that, it doesn’t matter if he can’t when he already did. To his cult, that’s all it takes, legal doesn’t matter, only that Trump said so.
It means that there is no way to prosecute people under that definition via current legal frameworks.
Prosecute maybe not, but persecute… Given the number of crimes he’s been tried for and convicted of and his wholesale dismissal of the court’s validity when things don’t go his way, I’m sure extrajudicial is good enough for him.
Guy who likes to shake his fists at windmills also likes to tilt at them…
Terrorism is when you don’t support fascism.
So, would that include any WWII vets?
It’s not about Antifa, it’s about George Soros. Wait for it.

I think it’s time to stop using the contraction, and start using the full term, in all cases.
“Trump signs order targeting the anti-fascist movement”, is far more illustrative of what he’s actually trying to accomplish with this declaration.
Say it plainly. Anyone who stands against fascism, is now considered a terrorist, in the United States.
This is why they should be called Republicans. Republicans are doing this. Not MAGA. Not the right. Not conservatives.
77 million Republicans voted for this.
Let’s make them spell it out like hangman. I’m now antifasc.
Pro-fascist trump signs order targeting anti-fascists!
Come on you feckless shits it can be evident easily and people can understand it plainly.
So there is no “domestic terrorist org” designation under law, the feds can already go after people for illegal activities, and antifa isn’t a group with leaders or members to dismantle.
Sounds like more meaningless intimidation. Like superfluous name changes and gold-painted decor, it’s all meant to prop him up as the cheap dime-store dictator he is.
Release the Epstein files, Donald.

Not to be demeaning because i admire your innocence, but GOT DAMN, you sweet summer child…!
Step one: “antifa is terrorists.”
Step two: “Bernie is an antifa terrorist.”
Step three: bye bye Bernie…
Step four: “AOC is an antifa terrorist.”
Step five: bye bye AOC…
Step six: “Zohran Mamdani is antifa…”
This is the third or fourth domino, not “meaningless intimidation.” This is the Train Station, being built, in real-time.
They can’t stick charges on a guy who threw a sandwich. Not sure how it’s gonna play out arresting a sitting rep without an actual crime.
Also, everything you say before “but” is meaningless.
Naugahyde. Australopithecus. Antidisestablishmentarianism.
But, perhaps you missed this: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1wgg4vgeedo
Sounds like everyone will be at risk, because they can just send you to a private prison like the brown people.
That’s pretty sweet.
So the lemmy.world mods are safe, and will now—because laws and rules—begin to silence all anti-fascist comments…
@jordanlund@lemmy.world, you gonna break the law, support fascism, or quit?
Feel free to read the modlog before you think you have an opinion on Floo:

I dunno anything about a Floo user. My comment is unrelated to that topic.
Sorry about that, I assumed due to the removed Floo content below. I needed a shower after that one! Not even kidding!
I’m not too concerned about the Antifa thing because as I stated elsewhere in this thread and others, it’s not REALLY about Antifa, it’s a dog whistle Trump is going to use to go after George Soros.

At this point I think we can pretty much start the clock, probably in October? Definitely before Thanksgiving.
What’s the tea here 👀
I think it’s based on where Lemmy.world is hosted and there is a law that they can’t spread violence advocation or something so there was a lot of comments that were removed during the Luigi stuff.
I think it’s about this?
No, floo was telling other users to kill themselves and that was some of their least hateful comments.
Ah! Thank you for the context.
It’s not a reference to Floo. I have no idea who they are.
It’s a commentary on Jordan, and other mods, removing any calls for action against fascism that are any more extreme than standing on a corner politely voicing your opinion.
They argue that the instance would be liable—which has never happened. Now that any anti-fascist comments will draw the attention of the government, I am curious if .world (and others) plan to err on the side of caution—as usual—or if they plan to grow a pair.
Correct.
@jordanlund ?
Not here, I had them in !world@lemmy.world, someone else got them here. Their modlog is a horror show.

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=14403867
I received and reported a number of those comments. Not sure what that has to do with whatever’s being discussed here.
Sorry, my assumption based on the Floo comment below.
And can I just say… “Ick!” I had to go watch YouTube after cleaning that up!
Oh crap typo thanks
