Antifa explained

Far too many people who proclaim themselves part of the current "anti-fascist" movement:

1. Are from comfortable, if not wealthy backgrounds

2. Have criminal records

3. Are anarcho-communists

4. Gladly partake of modern luxuries

5. Some combination thereof.

Hm - pro-vax antifa?  I didn't even realize that was a thing. 

From what I've seen, antifa is a loose conglomeration of anti-capitalist, anti-cop, anti-corporation folks who use community organizing tactics to exploit unhappy ppl in an attempt to cause mayhem and destruction.

Allison Morrow's video is a source with major credibility. ~14 minutes

Andy Ngo's work also has major credibility, with this Jordan Peterson interview being an excellent in-depth look.  ~100 minutes

The Antifa anti-Anti-vax idea came from the LAPD.

Capt. Stacy Spell, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman, said police were monitoring the protest.

Quote

We are on scene to maintain order after a fight broke out between Antifa and people gathered for the permitted event. We are aware of one male that was stabbed and is being treated by Fire Department personnel

The article went on to indicate that the counter-protesters were not all Antifa.  They were a mix.  This softens it a bit.  It indicates that Antifa is anti-anti-vaxx. While that doesn't necessarily mean that they are "pro-vax", it does indicate they are perfectly fine with denying the rights of anti-vax voices from being heard.  Notice that they didn't harm any of the pro-vax voices -- just the anti-vax voices.

Yep.  Antifa doesn't give a crap about vax or antivax.  Antifa cares that there's right wingers marching somewhere for the cause of freedom.  Those are what Antifa calls "fascists", and they'll try to get ppl to show up and counterprotest.  If the counters are in sufficient numbers, they'll try to radicalize 'em, maybe get some direct actions going.

Antifa also showed up at the Wi Spa in July '21.  If we've forgotten, a trans woman went into the women's locker room and wandered around exposing her erect dingaling to the women and girls in that locker room.  Folks got mad, a video of someone complaining to uncaring staff went viral, people showed up to protest, and then antifa showed up and helped organize the counterprotestors to fight the fascists.  Again, they don't care about trans rights either, they only care about finding places where folks on the right are mad enough to march, and whizzing on their cheerios.

Sort of a prevalent attitude is "the left owns the streets, and anyone who says otherwise is a jackbooted nazi bootlicking alt-right fascist thug"

Well, yes.  That’s why Rittenhouse had to be prosecuted.  You’ll note that relatively few asked why any of his three separate attackers had the temerity to be out in public wielding weapons on a riot night.  It was only (presumably) Republican Rittenhouse whose mere presence was a dead giveaway that the guy was obviously “looking for trouble”.

The prosecutor almost gave the game away when he told the jury “everybody takes a beating sometimes, right?”  What he meant, of course, was “Republicans—and merely normal people who challenge our rule—ought to take a beating sometimes, right?”

I'm not sure if you realize this. But ... I don't know if there is an official term for this... You're making the point by denying the point.
