    President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday morning UK time.

    It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.

    “I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

    A White House official told CNN, “This is just one of many actions the president will take to address left wing organizations that fuel political violence.”

    Trump — who’s overseas for a formal state visit — signaled the move earlier this week in remarks from the Oval Office following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

    This is going to lead to an escalation of political violence.

    If something as nebulous as antifa is "terrorist", then it's easy for anyone to be classified as a terrorist. See also what is going on in the UK with Palestine Action. But instead of embarrassed unarmed bobbies doing the arresting, in the US it will be masked, unidentified goons, mirroring ICE practices. So that lowers the threshold to drop into a "homo sacer" category that can be basically shot on sight. Which means, more people will have nothing to lose. Which means more political violence.

      Probably my favorite line in Lower Decks is from Shaxs.

      PAH-WRAITH: You can snap my neck, but what will you do against all your victims? All the Cardassian warriors getting their revenge.

      SHAXS: They weren't warriors. They were occupiers!

          If you can declare a non organization a terrorist organization, you can also claim that anyone you don't like is a member.

          This is deliberate

            Shaxs has some great anti-facist quotes!

            BOIMLER: I just asked if you learned how to throw pots on Bajor.

            SHAXS: You think I had time for anything other then resisting? Fighting Fascism is a full time job!

                Designate a concept as a terrorist organization, and then you can label anyone you don't like as antifa so you can prosecute them.

                It's ridiculous how far the US is now into fascism. If the frog knew any history it would know what it means to be in a nice warm water por on top of a stove.

                This feels like those theatre plays for children where the wolf is hiding behind the main character and all the children are shouting "the wolf is there!!" While the main character remains oblivious.

                    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz-htW9DTus

                    It's annoying to explain
                    Because it's actually quite simple
                    So listen closely
                    Because I'll say it only once

                    If you're anti-ANTIFA
                    you are FA
                    You can say what you want
                    But that's the truth
                    And I wish I didn't have to constantly be against something
                    But how is that supposed to work with all those goddamn Nazi pigs?

                    And if it annoys you to hear that
                    that's not my problem
                    but your problem...
                    not hard to understand at all.

                    I could take care of nice things
                    We could take care of nice things
                    Instead, we have to deal with the scum

                    If you're anti-ANTIFA
                    you are FA
                    You can say what you want
                    But that's the truth
                    And I wish I didn't have to constantly be against something
                    But how is that supposed to work with all those goddamn Nazi pigs?

                    How is that supposed to work?
                    How is that supposed to work?
                    How is that supposed to work, please?

                        I hate this country. I hate having been born here. I hate the fact fascism is on the rise. I hate that people are openly embracing it again. I hate that I have to consider leaving everything for a less shit country. I hate almost everything.

                          I feel like it's incredibly important to note here that 4 days ago the US military, at the direct order of president trump, destroyed a Venezuelan civilian boat in international waters killing every one on board. The ENTIRE reason the trump administration claimed this move was legal (it isn't in either courts of US law and the International Criminal Court) is because they claimed the boat was carrying members of Tren de Aragua which they recently officially announced as a terrorist organization.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

                                    A White House official told CNN, “This is just one of many actions the president will take to address left wing organizations that fuel political violence.”

                                    Trump — who’s overseas for a formal state visit — signaled the move earlier this week in remarks from the Oval Office following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

                                    Give it time. Black folk will be labeled as Antifa agents.

                                      Designate a concept as a terrorist organization, and then you can label anyone you don't like as antifa so you can prosecute them.

                                      It's ridiculous how far the US is now into fascism. If the frog knew any history it would know what it means to be in a nice warm water por on top of a stove.

                                      This feels like those theatre plays for children where the wolf is hiding behind the main character and all the children are shouting "the wolf is there!!" While the main character remains oblivious.

                                      He will label ActBlue as antifia. Its how a lot of progressive gather money to fund their campaigns. So AOC etc will either have to turn to super Pacs and fall inline or get no support.

                                      Just watch they already mentioned investigating them before.

                                        Yep so those schedule No Kings for October will be considered terrorist gatherings.

                                        Protest will no longer be allowed. At least peaceful ones. Time for general strike shut this country down.
