    Always pisses me of this scene, because its so insanely unlikely to find your own name on these things, especially considering the names dont appear to be sorted at all.

    It’s just the same as Trump’s enemies list. I’ll bet a lot of people are going to be surprised to find out they’re part of “Antifa” now.

      It’s interesting to look back at word origins. “Antifa” is borrowed from a shortened version of a German word for “anti-fascist” and was first used by a short-lived party to counter the German movement towards that ideology. Republicans/GOP/MAGA would like it to be short-lived here too, and like “woke” have hijacked the word to mean something it never did. Just like “woke”, it’s telling to ask them to define or explain it - they can’t, it’s just a rallying soundbite.

        LOL, Governor DeSantis’ lawyer was forced to say it out loud in court.

        During the testimony, Warren’s attorney, Jean-Jacques Cabou asked those within DeSantis’ administration what “woke” meant to them.

        The governor’s general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
