On Mark Bray And Antifa

As I mentioned previously, Professor Mark Bray has fled to Spain to protect his family after receiving death threats from Trump and Charlie Kirk inspired goons.
He is the author of Antifa: The Anti Fascist Handbook which is the best book about the true history and story of antifa:

"What we’re seeing today in the U.S. is increasingly fascist. MAGA, I believe — and I study fascism, I don’t say this lightly — is a fascist movement,” says Bray, referring to Trump’s political movement.
ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI: "That’s one of the things about antifa. You’ve heard President Trump say multiple times they are organized, they are a criminal organization. And they’re very organized. You’re seeing people out there with thousands of signs that all match, pre-bought, pre-put together. They’re organized, and someone is funding it."
This is just a ridiculous lie.
SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON: "To demand oversight on federal law enforcement? I’ve not seen them cross the line yet, and that we have committees of jurisdiction who have that responsibility, but it’s not risen to that level. What I’ve seen is the abuse of law enforcement by radical leftist activists. You know, most recently, the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there. I mean, it’s getting really ugly."
HAHAHAHAHA! Threatening. Right.
Turning Point USA, the far right campus group founded by Charlie Kirk, had called for Bray’s firing and branded him “Dr. Antifa.”, even though antifa is only one thing that Bray teaches about and covers. Kirk maintained a "Professor watchlist", which listed left-leaning professors, as if there was anything wrong with that.
As he and his family were about to board their flight to Spain, and had already gone through the security check, checking their luggage, etc., and were cleared to go, they found that when they were about to board the plane they were informed that their tickets and they could not board.
Bray said "This is around the same time that Andy Ngo and Jack Posobiec, two of the far-right provocateurs who had been harassing me online, were meeting in the White House with President Trump to discuss antifa. I just can’t believe it’s a coincidence."
Andy Ngo has also written a book about antifa. His book is anti-antifa, though. He's a shit disturber who gathered the "Information" for his book by attempting to goad antifa protesters into beating him up in Portland during the George Floyd uprisings there in 2020.
Bray said "The term “antifa” really kind of made its appearance in the U.S. in the late 2000s, but it’s not an organization. It’s more of a politics or a movement. I liken it to feminism. Sometimes there are feminist groups, but feminism itself is not a group. There are antifa groups, but antifa itself is not a group. It’s just sort of like more of a verb. It’s a thing you do to organize against the far right in decentralized groups.
Trump, of course, doesn’t care about any of that. It’s a useful bogeyman term to demonize protest, demonize resistance, equate it with terrorism. And it’s really, you know, an obvious page out of the textbooks about fascist and authoritarian leaders. It’s so — it’s such an obvious imitation of, you know, the kind of the Red Scare talk about communism, but applied to today."
"the paradox of fascism is that while it’s trying to gain power, it talks about the need for law and order, and to the degree that it gains power, it tramples all over the law. It does not care about the law or legality, due process, civil liberties. And so, this kind of call to murder people in this country, without, of course, even having gone through any due process — not that I’m in favor of capital punishment anyway, but that’s another story — it is this kind of example of calling for the strongman, in Trump, to use deadly force, without any evidence, against people accused of made-up crimes that are being equated with — you know, at times, some of the Trump administration people have compared it to — ISIS to antifa, right? So, to me, it’s really this kind of fascist attack on civil liberties.
And if they’re equating protesters with antifa, and they’re saying that they’re going to use the methods used for the people in the boats in the Caribbean on antifa, the implication is they are ready to kill American protesters. And, you know, we know the history of Kent State — right? — where students were gunned down in the '60s. It could happen again if we're not careful. So we really need to be very vigilant about this."
He's absolutely right about all of this.

Well, Mistah J., you gotta fight fire with fire; new uniform for the Boys in Pasty White!
Er... Stochastic mockery isn't a crime yet, right?
Even if you go with the argument that Trump has (finally) categorized them as terrorist as a scapegoat, I fail to see how that's any different from calling everyone who disagrees with the cult of democrats a racist, sexist, fascist, etc.
Here's him admitting to funding terrorism: https://x.com/WiretapMediaCa/status.....12026646704489
