Me either. My Dad was in the Army Air Corps in WWII (the Air Force did
not exist yet). He was stationed for the most part in the NE part of
South America. He also did not talk much of the war, but did have
stories of what they did during their off time.
If you are anti-antifa, then my assumption is you are pro-fascism. Is
there another way to interpret this?

My dad was in an artillery division in Europe, I think my uncle was a
pilot in the Pacific. They never spoke of the war. Obviously they saw
some bad things and felt the world had put that behind it and better
times were ahead.
I can’t believe people are willing to go there (support fascism).
Seriously?

What a lot of people fail to understand is that there is no
"antifa" organization. It's more of a philosophy (IMO). Sure, a
lot of marginalized people probably ascribe to the notion of antifa.
However, I would say that the majority of Americans are against
the idea of fascism.
Tell me you're in favor of fascism.

But Howard from Big Bang Theory reminds us you don’t need to

Maybe you mean nihilism and not literally Antifa. There seems
to be a bumper crop of disaffected nihilists these days. Not
sure that fits neatly into a left/right political narrative.
More like there will always be people who think the world has
screwed them over and want to burn the whole thing down.

Odd that the majority of the people in my sphere of influence
that are espousing the goodness of antifa are all uniformly:
uneducated, pot smoking, un churched, and in many cases with
minor criminal records, but all of them are as poor as dirt it
seems. Poverty is what drove the Russian revolution. Perhaps
that is the driver here.
