If CBC can be fearless for educating on Antifa, and the absolute mind-melting double speak going on south of our border, then we in Canada should not be afraid to speak out and claim the term whenever possible. So serious props to CBC for airing this, *especially for signal-boosting Mark Bray.

(Speaking of which, despite what the Xitter & Reddit bots push, journalism like this is *precisely why PP wanted to defund and even abolish CBC - and precisely why he is so dangerous.)
Because you are either an antifa/anti-fascist, or you are a fascist. Full stop.
(I break down that loaded statement down here:

And so while I always try to approach my in-person conversations with respect, camaraderie and the pursuit of common ground - I have no issue with speaking my *actual unfiltered views online because many of ya'll need to stop riding the coat-tails of activists both today and those who fought for your unquestioned privileges you now enjoy.
But my window of tolerance has been rapidly closing. "If you are neutral in times of injustice, then you have sided with the oppressor".
So get your s**t together.
I'm sick of people calling leftists snowflakes or tone policing our legitimate outrage, claiming it only "pushes people away" - f**k that take. If you can't handle us saying get your s**t together or accuse people of being "too political" when so much is at stake, then it is YOU who are creating the division - and willingly so. Because too many of the marginalized or activists in our community have been pleading for FAR too long for vocal support, mutual aid, and direct action.
So while I am always open to friendly in-person dialogue and the pursuit of truth, know that I am giving less s**ts about watering any friendships who refuse to stand in the way of injustice. Paradox of Tolerance, and all that.
Because my friends, are Inspired Warriors.
.. Not fascism-enabling purposeless party-goers dancing in the ignorance of what the rave scene has always truly been about.
And there I go gatekeeping again! This is because... if you do not inoculate in advance and speak out and *actively stand your ground towards anti-racism, anti-fascism, decolonization, and public health safety; if you *welcome the *very real Zionists, anti-vaxxers, and/or Trump/PP/fascist adjacent supporters that are active in our communities, then it is *you who are gatekeeping those who are victims of these systems of oppression from feeling welcomed - and above all safe - if your spaces or circles. Our separation is a *response to yours - well intentioned or not. Period.
So you are either antifa... or you are a fascist.
Stay tuned below for the more bite sized Part 2 of my series on The Ethics of Violence.
The term βAntifaβ comes from the German word for antifascist β born from movements resisting fascist leaders Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hi**er. Today, it ref...
