Not so. First, you're relying on the worst, most unreliable source in fake news today. Second, this is three years old.

It is also worth mentioning that the hysteria created over ANTIFA by Right Wing media three years ago has proven to be nothing but baseless manufactured outrage, which is their specialty.

I agree that the hysteria over ANTIFA was way, way over the top. But anti-facism that promotes violent resistance to fascism has been around since at least WW II. The weekly rumbles in Portland are between groups that sincerely believe in violence as a legitimate tactic.

Here’s a great story about one anti-fascist. https://thememorypalace.us/the-year-han ... home-runs/

Yup.

I think the organisation that promoted violent resistance to fascism in WW II was commonly known as 'The Alliies' at the time. They broadly worked under the slogan NNLM ('non-Nazi lives matter') so far as I recall.

Turns out Robert Crimo, the mass murderer of July 4, attended a Trump rally and posted a photo of himself draped in a Trump flag:

One should note, Rolling Stone has interviewed the murderer’s friends and everyone seems to think he was just a provocateur, contrarian, incel-y type who was lost to the Internet:
