Antifascists mask up so they don’t get doxxed or targeted by fascists.
Nazis literally do the same thing, just the words “Antifascists” and “fascists”.
Also the second talking point is thrown around by liberals, conservatives and in my country also some communists when people talk about masking up. I believe the act of masking up usually does not impact the idea one does stand for, so antifascists, activists and anarchists who mask up are just as legit as those that dont. And Nazis that dont wear mask are as shitty as those that wear a mask
So because both sides wear pants, we can’t criticise what’s in their pockets?
It isn’t about the physical act of putting a mask on. It’s about the massive hypocrisy of marching around claiming you’re the ‘superior race’ while being too terrified of public opinion to show your face.
Seems like we dont really come to any conclusion here, because I dont really see the hypocrisy in that. Like genuinely. Might be because I mask up for protests/actions I attend and I never feel hypocritic about that. Like I feel I still fully stand behind my opinions and ideals and thats why I have a real hard time imagining how that would apply to others.
Besides, why use sexist language like pussy? In my experience its mostly used to shame people for not adhering to a toxic masculine ideal, which is something we should get past IMO
that’s fair. i wouldn’t generally use it here, but if someone was mouthing off at me and i knew that they displayed misogynistic behavior in general, i might go for the short form just because i’m sure it would irritate said person more.
fortunately, the last time someone wanted an argument in public i just blew kisses as i cruised away on my etrike. it’s my favorite way to defuse, like, anything.
But I wrote: thing. Whitout “s”. So my comment was just focused on the act of masking up as a way to stop consequences of their action.
Did I write my comment in a way that made it seem like I thought antifascists do the same thingS as nazis? Because if so, please tell me how I can improve my phrasing so that I dont get 10 angry antifascists in my replies that seem to think that is what I actually mean or communicate.

We can absolutely call them pussies for that.

it’s short for pusilanimous, not a body part reference.
Sorry but I doubt anyone knowing the word pusilanimous would actively decide to use the easily misunderstood short form.

You mask up when you fight almost unbeatable enemy (gov). You dont mask up when you fight normal dude, girl, little boy.
Nah, they don’t do the same things.
Antifascists strive for humanity. Fascists don’t.
Yes they dont do the same things.
