Conservatives look at this picture and see intolerant antifa extremists invading a peaceful conservative country because they have different political opinions.
It’s right there in the name - Anti-FAscist. If someone thinks AnTiFA is bad, check if they’re waving fascist flags before engaging in any debate with them in a good faith.
Conservatives are incapable of good faith arguments. It's completely pointless trying to argue with them about anything
Aunt Tifa is evil! /s
Antifa literally means anti-fascist. The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were "antifa."

Many of them were quite literally Communists. The party membership was at its peak during the Great Depression, and American Communists were big advocates of US entrance into the war in the run up to Pearl Harbor. Lots of Americans saw the Western Front as an opportunity to aid their besieged allies in Soviet Russia.
At the same time, you had pro-Nazi sympathizers who thought we should simply profit off the war by selling to both combatants, or even enter the war on the side of the Germans. The German-American Bund held rallies in New York and Chicago, hoping to win the public over to supporting Germany in its war against the eastern Communists.
We had a very real and notable split in public opinion on the subject of which side of the war to support in the run up to the Japanese attack on Hawaii. And even after the war, many American conservative politicians remained sympathetic towards the defeated German government in a way they hadn't been towards the Kaiser's Reich of WW1, the Spanish during the Spanish-American War, or the American Natives.

Fucking bizarre, considering that for the first two years of the war the US Communist Party followed the 'party line' and slobbed the knob of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

Like fuck we did. Jesus Christ. The only question of relevance was whether to join the war or not, not whose side to join it on. Do you enjoy spreading pro-fascist disinformation?
The D in DPRK stands for democratic. Not calling Antifa fascist here, just saying that an organization doesn't stay true to it's name.
Frankly, I hate the narrative that Antifa is an organization. I've never met with anyone who was part of Antifa, but I know I would tell nazis to get the fuck off my street if they were marching down it.
This poster needs to be on every fucking wall
Send the word, send the word, over here?
Affirmative
I wonder if theres a high quality version, I'd love to print out large versions and post them all over town.
You could probably use an image upscaler. You can find free options on the Internet.
Love this style & message.
Not a meme, unfortunately.
oh come on he only said he'd be a dictator for one day. that's not that bad, is it?
But but Biden still hasn’t climbed into a fighter jet and bombed Netanyahu’s house!! Nor has he taken a programming course to create a virus to inject into the IDF's targeting systems to redirect their missiles back onto them!!!! Biden bad, not gonna vote!!!!!!!!! /s
It's not just Trump tho, a majority of current Republicans in Congress also support fascism. Even if we're not fucked this November, the pendeullm swings both ways in the US, so sadly at some point we will be beyond fucked. Vote and shit, but enjoy your lives while we can, the next ~30 years are really, really gonna suck blue balls.
Is that ww2 or Korea era edited propaganda?
It’s not like it matters really, Americas role in both wars was to take the reins of fascism instead of oppose it…
In WW2? What?
Operation Paperclip and the original NATO convention were focused on technological and territorial control of the Atlantic seaboards and the Eastern Pacific. You also had US support for Fascist Spain in the run up to the war and endorsement of the theocratic government in Saudi Arabia.
Following the end of hostilities in 1945, much of the original German command structure was reintegrated into post-war western bureaucracy. This included NATO high command including former Nazi officers and the Allen Dulles Era CIA working closely with German ex-pats across Latin America, West Africa, and the Middle East.
The US turned to post-war fascist organizations as part of Operation Gladio, primarily in Italy and Greece, as well as during the various coups from Guatemala to Chile from the 50s into the late 90s. The Apartheid Regime of South Africa was also a US backed fascist network, responsible for arming many of the neighboring juntas Angola, Congo, and Kenya, among others. The web of ex-Fascist military officers that ran through all these Atlantic Coast combat zones runs thick.
Message == good
Graphic == huh
fucking cringe.
You're wayyyy past electing a fascist, boy!
People forget Reagan. And the Bush Klan. Ole Prescott Bush was connected to the Wall street putch. He missed his chance at US dictatorship. But he groomed his son and grandson well. To cause as much damage as possible. "Mission Accomplished" Am I right?
Prescott and his fascist cronies were stopped by an actual patriot, retired general Smedley Butler. A man who so despaired of the wars he helped wage that he became an anti-war later in life.
I’m sure you know this since you are aware of the plot, but I’ll never miss an opportunity to bring up this American hero.
