re: #482 klys (maker of Silmarils)

Stuff like this is why I’m not embracing the antifa name, even as I’m willing to push back and fight against the Nazis.

Agree with that. I’m in The Resistance, not Antifa, in part because ‘antifa’ is already in use, defining a specific and more limited scope. I’m fighting current American manifestations of injustice, which includes the Republican party as well as the KKK and the Nazis: the long list of issues that includes institutional racism, gerrymandering, voter suppression, ecologic destruction, protection of public lands, safety regulations, corporate control of elections, aspiring theocracy, and so ad nauseam.

I suppose at a high level it could all be classified under the umbrella of creeping fascism, but I’d rather not get caught up in that semantic nitpick.
