Whereas the extremist organization Antifa is motivated by communism, anarchism, socialism, and violence, and has continuously demonstrated their commitment to lawless- ness and criminal behavior;

Whereas, in response to the 2017 violent riots, an Antifa ex- tremist stated, ‘‘Sometimes you have to use direct action to stop it because protesting, signs, yelling is not going to do anything. You have to make them afraid.’’;

Antifa reduced multiple cities to smoking craters yet the Jan 6th tourists painted the Capitol Building and helped clean up during their peaceful visit.

Antifa is not an organization. You can't point to Antifa HQ or any kind of national Antifa leadership.

"smoking craters" hahaha

It sounds like you believe Antifa is dangerous. What is fascism? Would you consider yourself pro-fascism?

It sounds like your sarcasm detector is broken.

Maybe. Sorry for being a pain in the ass… I just worry about Poe's Law

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

The downvotes (which atm are 17% more than the upvotes) to SatansMaggotyCumFart's comment make me think that Poe's Law did come into effect.

I'm definitely not a pro I'm just an amateur at best.

I assume you're presenting absurd views to satirize them. If so, check out Poe's Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

I'm well aware of Poe's Law.
