“Black shirts and reds“ or “the ANTIFA handbook” should be required reading for anyone claiming to be “anti fascist”

2025/9/11 Edited to

... Read moreUnderstanding the contemporary anti-fascist movement requires diving deeper into its historical and ideological roots. Books like "Black Shirts and Reds" and "The ANTIFA Handbook" provide valuable frameworks for comprehending how anti-fascist activists organize and respond to fascist ideologies. The slogan "Vote blue no matter who" often surfaces in discussions around political strategies to combat fascism, reflecting tensions between pragmatic electoral politics and more radical direct action. This phrase encapsulates debates within anti-fascist circles about how to effectively oppose fascist propaganda and movements. While some advocate for voting within the established political system as a means of resistance, others critique this approach as insufficient or complicit. Moreover, the reactions to incidents involving fascist propagandists highlight the emotional and strategic complexities in anti-fascist activism. When a fascist propagandist falls or faces consequences, responses vary from "thoughts and prayers" to celebrating their downfall. These conflicting reactions expose ongoing challenges related to maintaining ethical standards while confronting hate groups. By engaging with these texts and acknowledging internal debates, readers can better appreciate the nuances of anti-fascist activism. The recommended readings equip individuals with knowledge about historical fascism, tactics of resistance, and the importance of critical engagement to avoid oversimplifications and promote effective opposition to oppressive ideologies.

Because he’s an innocent man who was brutally murdered. @Wolfe: He got shot for practicing his freedom of speech. He didn’t commit crimes. Never got violent. Never even cursed at people during his debates. He was sharing his opinions to people who willingly debated with him. And he got killed by some deranged person who thought that meant he was a n@zi. I’d like you to name one bad thing he did that wasn’t just words coming out of his mouth

Train your biceps like this to fill out shirts
Most guys train biceps… but still don’t have arms that actually look big. Here’s why: You’re probably only hitting one part of the bicep instead of building the full arm. In this video I’m doing: • Seated bicep curls → targeting the biceps brachii (the peak you see) • Seated hammer curls
