Yeah, there is that minor detail. My Father was a sergeant in WWII. We lived in a neighborhood with a lot more like him. They used to talk when they played poker and let my stay to watch. None of them had a lot of kind words for fascists. A lot of people today should be relieved that the Old Boys aren’t still around to lock and load.
What does that leave us to believe about the ones who are anti-Antifa?
well ya know there are many "good people on both sides" (EXTREME sarcasm) which is hard to detect in a post
I used publicly available information to make my claim. What did you use for your when you flatly told me I was wrong? Either you know something or you don’t. Which is it?
If you want to believe antifa doesn't exist, that's fine. I'm not going to try to change your mind.
I wasn't the one making the claim here though. You were. You were claiming your lack of evidence of something proves it does not exist, which is logically flawed. I'm not going to try to explain why because I already did, and explaining further would be a waste of my time.
I see many mentions of antifa mostly in a negative light which is odd considering that antifa is ANTI fascist . unless of course you are pro fascist like Mussolini , Hitler , Mosley
Again facts matter. They originated as an anti capitalist group established by pro Stalinist communists in Weimer Republic Germany almost a century ago. It was a very nutty time, and a lot of nutty movements propagated. They are anti fascist in name only, kind of like how the left claims the Nazis (National Socialist German Workers' Party) were socialists in name only. The "fascists" according to antifa are actually capitalists.

A “movement” is not an “organization”. Antifa, as I stated originally, has no leaders and no headquarters. It is not an organization.
Actually, you questioned whether antifa even exists, which was what made me chuckle initially. The rest, I don't care about. You can ponder what antifa is or is not all day long. It's not something I have any interest in.

There are people who are antifascist and anti racist. I am, quite proudly, one of them. If there was an organization, I would join it.
“Antifa” is not a organization. The term was dredged up by journalists opposed to the white supremacist British punk movement forty years ago. It only exists in the minds of those who need a label to use as a pejorative. It’s not working.
you would think an anti-fascist group would have protested draconian covid restrictions but instead were more concerned with George Floyd. Follow the money.
