Trump Targets Anti-Fascists as 'Terrorists,' Ignores Actual Fascists
According to Al Jazeera, the US State Department designated four European Antifa groups as 'specially designated global terrorists.' This designation, typically reserved for organizations like ISIS or Al-Qaeda, conveniently sidesteps the growing global threat of white supremacist and neo-fascist movements that have inspired mass violence in the US and Europe. (Remember Charlottesville?) It appears
the definition of 'terrorist' shifts dramatically depending on who's in power and whose narrative they wish to control. One might wonder why groups actively combating fascism are targeted, while actual fascist sympathizers find themselves in positions of influence and power within the very governments making these designations. Funny how that works, isn't it?
