I agree with Bret Weinstein on the topic of Antifa. Weinstein:

I have no illusions about ANTIFA. They are a terrorist organization by any reasonable definition—they cultivate fear from which they derive power.

BUT I don’t want ANTIFA declared a terrorist organization by the executive branch, because the post 9/11 definition of ‘terrorism’ isn’t reasonable at all. It is now a magic legal term loophole that, once applied, obliterates a person’s constitutional rights.

And the executive can apply it to anyone, with no court review. Don’t forget, the DHS declared mis, dis and malinformation terrorism during Covid. That’s mistakes, lies and truths-that-make-the-government-look-bad—all were declared terrorism, for a reason. The reason was to empower the government to do unconstitutional things to anyone who didn’t agree with their bullshit.

If we allow this toolkit to be used on ANTIFA, that legitimizes it. And next time it is likely to be pointed at us.

If anyone has doubts that Antif is a terrorist organization, take a look at the postings of Andy Ngo on X.
