You do know that Antifa stands for Anti Fascism and is a political movement not a defined group, right?

A common Antifa defensive trope. Label enemies as bad guys and thus justify any violence against them.

Antifa started in Eastern Germany in the 30s to spread communism worldwide. They also called conservatives "fascists" which would provide them a convenient scapegoat to commit violence.

Is this you?

Seems like the trope is actually you calling antifa "violent", despite all evidence to the contrary, so you can justify violence against peaceful protestors.

How about you link to the modern antifa and not the 1930s one
