I love this fantasy you've crafted for yourself.
If Antifa doesn't attack anybody, you can ignore your strawman and insult them by calling them weak.
If they do, you get to play your victim complex that you are so eager to play (Despite white supremacists still far outweighing anybody else in the US in terms of political violence) and call them a mob or some other violent epithet.
The issue with making a label on a group like that, is if there's no actual hierarchy, then even identifying them as part of that organization can be quite difficult. They could change their name to the Girl Scouts next week, and without intelligence on the actors involved, then you won't have much on them. Is it then just a matter of assuming anyone with a black sweatshirt is part of them?
In the end, this would mean a lot of work trying to name them, and since they are not usually public figures, then all that work is done behind the scenes by law enforcement. That leads to privacy issues, and a lot more leg work to identilify a nebulous group.
Should they be called a terrorist organization? Probably. Can they actually nail down many of its members? That's a lot more difficult. Meanwhile, the Proud Boys can also be labeled as one, but their organizational hierarchy is much more obvious.
You'll notice, Trump and his administration are maki g no steps to label the latter as one. That says a great deal as to what this is really about.
Good ole crisis actor Andy Ngo is back with his lies.

I'm so incredibly, thoroughly shocked that such an upstanding journalist like Andy Ngo is caught lying once again.
The 2nd link was just somebody posting that picture without text. There are a bunch of other examples of the same response by other people to the first tweet.
SHOCKING that Right-Wing grifter and fascist Andy Ngo is caught lying and distorting what is really happening in order to fuel his grift and spread fear and anger into boomer hearts.
What's next? A right-wing grifter going on the BBC and calling a super conservative they disagree with a liberal communist because their feelings get hurt by facts!!?? A right-wing grifter saying hitler had some good ideas?!?!! A Right-Wing news outlet claiming to be unbiased and intellectual running a story about Antifa based on a prankster!?!?! Fox News the biggest conservative "news" outlet in the world picking up all of these grifters and legitimizing them?!!?? LOLOL Stay Classy Fascists covered in milk, shaken not stirred or filled with quick dry cement as sERiOuS FoX NewS rePOrTeRS claimed.
I know, my mind was blown and I was totally and completely shocked that conservatives who call themselves reporters and/or newsmen would be caught flagrantly and blatantly lying.
Truly, truly shocked.
Next you'll tell me that their only gay somewhat internet famous supporter was proudly arguing in favor of reducing or questioning the age of consent laws on a public forum.
As much as I support the message Antifa want to send I am still triggered that they go out dressed like they want to rob a bank. I been to many protests and I have never had to cover my face because I consider myself proud to be what I am protesting for. I aint telling people how to dress at a protest but obscuring your face just looks like you don't want a peaceful protest at all. It looks like you want a fight. And if that's what you want, then you have already lost.
Maybe I am just too old and don't get it :P

let me put it bluntly how do you tell Antifa from regular people who are against white supremacist? anyone can claim to be Antifa and you have no way of verifying it since that label is arbitrary. You are basically saying anyone against the racists is possibly a terrorist which is fucking insane.

If the cops are against you, its best to hide your face.

I keep telling people that by the same logic that all conservatives would be terrorists becease of the ones that comitted acts of terror(Breivik and the christchurch shooter come to mind).
...and then we are only talking about terrorism, not war crimes.
