I completely agree, Ted W. It feels like we're focusing so much on global threats that we've forgotten how to find common ground right here at home.
@
Why do you even think anti-facism is far left? Last I checked around 100% of people that support the Democratic system voters is anti-fasicm, since you can't have fascistic democracy.

Am I really a terrorist for being Democratic now? Well in UK and US it seems so.

So FINALLY the BBC mentions Antifa and then spends 20 minutes talking about the far right. What a surprise 😂
@
There is no group called “Antifa.” There is NO group meeting, no plotting, but there are peaceful protests. There are groups organized, with “does and don’ts” so all people peacefully protesting keeps on the legal side. The only bad actors are dressed in black with face masks, caught spray painting the A with a circle around it. Those bad actors have been tackled with face masks ripped off. These trump followers are trying to capitalize on this, by pretending to be the “antifa” that their minds have created.

It seems like we spend so much time looking at the horizon for threats that we forget how to talk to our own neighbors. I wonder if these summits actually solve anything, or if they just stir the pot further. We need more bridge-building and less finger-pointing if we want things to settle down.

It does feel cinematic, Sofia. I wonder if we'll see some actual policy shifts or if this is mostly just strategic theater.

This feels like the setup for a high-stakes political thriller. That bit about a transnational summit really ramps up the tension. I'm curious if this is heading toward a full-blown drama or staying strictly news—what do you all think about the framing here?
@
"antifa" is an excuse of the extreme left that has become an excuse of the extreme right, i.e. Trumputin and friends
@
Left wing violence is about saving the lives of people who have empathy and souls. Right wing violence is about ending those lives.
@
The continued story that there is a group going by antifa is dangerous to freedom of speech. Antifa is being concerned about the rise of facism and being against it. Really disappointed by BBC.
@
It's Anti Faa, it stands for Anti-fascist! You know, the guys who died in their thousands defending the freedom of the west from the Nazis, It isn't a 'group' as a whole. I have no idea what an Anteeefaa is.
@
This guy is a Taco propogandist trying to legitimize the idea that antifa is a group and not short for anti-facist. It's what facists do to provide cover for illegal activities against their own citizens. Shame on this clown and bbc for giving him a platform to spread his propaganda.
@
Oh FFS. If anyone in the US regime says anything at all, you can safely assume it's a lie.
@
Antifa is the opposite of pro fascist ☯️
@
The US is worse than Nazi Germany. 🤷♀️

STALIN was the one who famously nicknamed westerners
Radical leftists who are helping the enemies of the west :

USEFUL IDIOTSs
@
Agenda there already with the Marco Rubio meeting. It should be meetibg against far-right and far-left. Both are not wanted in politics.
@
weird how media talks about it now

spent years with bs leftist song and dance of pretending they didnt exist or it isnt some group
@
This " faa faa faa" went viral on social media a lot, was fed up with that so now this new thing " anti faa" came 💀👀
@
Because of the US midterms. If Trump gets the house and senate, all, I mean all of his policies go through. MAGA.
@
Sound like a shot name, the antifa shot
@
The Trump admin falsely arrested an ex-olympian for damaging the reflecting pool. has sent ICE into cities that have shot many innocent people and has used the FBI and Justice department for carrying out personal vendettas and has interfered with elections. This is just another attempt at suppressing democracy in everywhere.
@
For crying out loud ANTIFA is not a group, there is no membership ...It must be a slow News day in the UK if they are dredging up this old trope!😂😅
@
But right wing violence, like January 6 and all the ice killings, that’s OK right?
@
I'm anti facist and damn proud of it.
2:43 so being anti facist is not illegal in the usa, yet. Good to know, not that I'd ever visit again. Never voluntarily enter the usa.

Is there even a group named Antifa? 😂
@
Ummm, because election time is coming. And for those with the attention span of a gnat, they need to be reminded constantly, until they check that box, who the Evil Monster is 🙄😵💫

"Is the far left a significant global security threat?"
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yyyyeeeeeeeessssssssss.
@
Because the feds need a boogeyman to justify their paychecks
@
Ends to a means.
Refuse to end it because it serves a purpose. 👿
~ not to the benefit of the innocent.
@
The BBC actually talking about the far-left for once? Are we living in some sort of alternate universe here?

America is insane
@
Antifa means anti fascist and anti racist also anti nazi because we stand against the corrupt dictator regime
