Wasn’t the issue the use of “antifa” by US “press” to describe anyone violent at any protest? I’m not American, here in EU it’s not a term that is used, at all.
That's ultimately what it ended up being. 10 years ago your average person had never heard of it. And your average redneck was completely clueless about it. But over the last 10 years corporate media has turned it from an obscure group from World War II Europe. Into one of the new Boogeyman they constantly beat against.
This was largely due to the fact of the groups rather libertarian / anarchist structure. There aren't any real Representatives or any solid membership etc etc etc. Just a nebulous group that's easy to misrepresent.
Antifa movement originated in Germany.
