I've got to stop shouting...

At the talking heads on the telly.

The levels of egregiousness are just too much for me to restrain myself. I know the talking heads can't hear me; but venting provides a valve on the internal pressure cooker.

I hate most politicians. But I can at least respect and support some of those opposed to the extreme right wing lurches in the Anglo-Saxon polities.

When Trump goes on about "AntiFa" he's talking about me; my father who fought in WWII; my uncle who lost an eye in that conflict; and all those who died rather than let the fascists take over. I'm a liberal capitalist with kids in private school. I'm AntiFa.

Anyone trying to trash my father's memory, or any of his generation, gets short shrift from me.

If you are anti-AntiFa it means you are pro-fascism; it is just that fucking simple. So...

Trump is a fascist, as are all of his followers who object to AntiFa.

And as for me, I hate fascism.

You're being a tad disingenuous here, no?

If, for example, you're against National Socialism, does that mean you're against socialism?

"AntiFa," in the States at least, is a code word for a group of Leftist Militants. It's a ridiculous code word because the group does not exist as an organized membership with rules and hierarchy. But its evocation has nothing to do with WWII.
