    By that logic people who are against Focus on the Family are against families. You don’t get to own a concept just by putting it in your name.

      Antifa is an ideology centered around opposing fascism. It isn’t an overarching group.

      Nobody put it in their name. There is no “antifa” group. “Antifa” is a boogyman so that the far right can ignore what people are saying by labeling it “antifa”.

      Against x vs

      Against what x do vs

      Against what x targets vs

      Against ideology x vs

      Against what may happen if x vs

      Against organisation x and so on

      These are not identical things

      Being against fascism is not the same as being against some organisation that does bad things

      Antifa is not an organisation. It’s an idea Just neatly contained to being against fascism

      Focus on the family is a hate group that burns down cities.

      They don’t care about any families, even if it’s in their title.
