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

    I mean comments that are anti-fascist, not just news articles about topics considered by many of us to be about fascism.

    Let’s consider trump’s ability to do stuff regardless of how a judge denies him. Then let’s imagine a world in the very near future where Trump goes full-McCarthy and people are detained just on suspicion of being or associating with “antifa.”

    Now, if I post a comment such as, “I am antifa and I support overthrowing of the fascist US government”

    Will you or will you not remove that comment?

      Supporting overthrowing the government would be a call to violence and would be removed as above.

      Do not call for violence on the Lemmy platform.

      Call for new elections? Absolutely. Call for impeachment and removal from office? +1 Would upvote again. Arrests, prosecutions, and prison time? Yup, yup, yup. “RICO Act”? At least buy me a drink first.

      Do not call for violent acts.

      That’s how we got 1/6.

        I didn’t call for violence. I called to overthrow the fascist government.

        Voting, arresting, impeaching, are all things that don’t happen with a fascist government, so calling for those by name is a waste of time.
