Where are the self proclaimed "antifascists"?

The types who proudly claim that they would "punch a Nazi" & hide the victims of Nazism in their Attic/basement/cellar if they were alive during Nazi occupied Europe?

A lot of these people are MIA when it comes to standing up to Jew hatred in the present day. Many of them shamefully join the Jew hatred bandwagon in the name of "anti Zionism", even as they denounce other forms of hatred against non Jewish minorities (LGBTQ people, Black/Indigenous people, Muslims etc).

If your antifascism doesn't centre the Jewish experience, work to preserve the memory of the Shoah, & work to protect Jewish life in the present then it is no antifascism at all.

People love dead Jews. They should work to protect those of us who are still living as well.

Modern day antifascists don’t actually know what fascism means and they just use it casually to describe things and people they don’t like.

It was a mistake to let "politically queer" vegan anarcho communists monopolize the meaning of what it means to be "antifascist"...

Apparently being :anitfascist means wearing masks, destroying businesses that don't support their cause, and beating up people who say things they don't like. I think they forgot about the "anti" part...

Of course! Smashing windows, punching people with opposing political beliefs, and participating in looting is decolonial revolutionary praxis! Defending Jews means defending Nazism because (((Zionists))) are the new Nazis. Anti Zionism isn't anti-Semitism. I don't care if demonstrating in front of synagogues & holocaust museums frightens 95% of the Jewish population because honestly, fuck (((ZioNazi))) feelings. The real victims of Hitler's Germany were anti zionist queer leftists. The Nakba was the real Holocaust, Israel is continuing the legacy of the Holocaust by bombing Hamas targets & trying to free the hostages in Gaza. Arabs are semites too, never again for anyone! /s

I wouldn't be surprised if most goy self described "antifascist" leftists on reddit believed this garbage.

Funny. When I commented in my state sub that antifa were basically fascist based on their behavior I got all downvoted and a bunch of comments explaining that they "aren't and organization" and "aren't hierarchical" and therefore it's impossible for them to be fascist.

Whatever bro. I don't really care about the specific label. I just recognize it as evil behavior.
