So France is now openly pro-tifa. What's that short for again? Oh. Right. Fascist.

Holy shit. I'm glad I don't need anything in France.

we need to make this viral to make it clear what the opposite of antifa means.

I mean it should be obvious to anyone with a pulse and two neurons to rub together but most fascists don’t meet that second stipulation

i'm convinced it has more to do with attention spans than intelligence since the people who are hurts the most by it are the least aware that they're getting hurt by it.

That is not a new development. As an American, I know that my people sometimes think of the French as left-wing generally, but there are very strong reactionary elements in their society.

It later emerged that the border rejecting over her history of vocal antifascist activism, including her participation in the 2023 Paris memorial marking the 10th anniversary of Clément Méric's murder, the young activist killed by far-right skinheads in 2013. She told La Dépêche du Midi today, "I've never had the slightest problem with the justice system. This feels like a pretext based on opinions and associations, not facts."

That's just bizarre:

"triggered by passenger data from the API-PNR files. "You're a serious threat to public order," they allegedly told her"

I'd believe it from idiot US border crossings, but France? When did idiots start running France?

Fascists are getting annoyingly bold in their anti-anti-fascist activity. I guess they’re feeling pretty confident about their position in power. Are there any major anti-fascist power groups to stand up against them at this point?
