Is this a gotcha comment?

Organized does not necessarily mean brimming with marketing material about their organizational structure. Antifa obviously has members and planning. They make great effort to counter who they perceive to be their political rivals. Analyzing from the outside, I imagine they would prefer their structure remain as opaque as possible for pragmatic reasons. I can’t point you to a “starter link” of my local Catholics; yet they exist and are organized.

Your curt inquiry should be directed at journalists, who for whatever reason are delinquent in their duty to investigate this organization.

So was your comment supposed to be cute? An invitation to a purported dead-end investiture? I assume you think yourself adjacent politically to Antifa. I find that most “fellow-travelers” tend to be the most vocal defenders of them online. Would you be this cavalier and flippant if your political rivals were doing the same thing Antifa is doing but for the opposite political “team?”

Just a thought.

Forgive as I am not sure I completely follow your comment and overall implications. To clarify — your contention is that:

1) no source confirming the existence of such an organization exists but-

2) that this absence is due to an endemic and total failure on the part of the conservative media (Hannity, The Hill, Lincoln Project, etc) to properly investigate as-

3) the organizational structure DOES exist so apparently that its obviousness renders a source unnecessary.

Is that accurate? Because if so I have to say I remain unconvinced.

And while I certainly have many cherubic qualities, I think calling someone “cute” for asking the most basic questions in response to a claim of comprehensive organizational structure is, at best, misguided. At worst, one might consider it an attempt to gaslight and minimize realistic obstacles to winning over people to your POV.

Just a thought ;)

You make some very wild claims in your post. Requesting supporting evidence supporting is not a "gotcha comment" - it's a sensible thing to do when confronted with such - honestly pretty conspiratorial - claims.

And no; it's not a journalists job to investigate every accusation out there; journalists - and people tend to forget this these days - ought to have credible sources.
