I prefer making my own opinion of things. Consuming biased media will make me think a specific view is the truth, but there can be more to it

Biased media makes you think an opinion is the truth, and that's dangerous for your critical thinking abilities

When did I do so exactly? Criticizing anti-facists doesn't mean defending fascists

fascists can go fuck themselves

That's the meaning, yes, but it's a group that implies more

At this point, antifa is basically a political movement that goes beyond fighting fascism and is highly related to far-left

As an example: BLM is more than just fighting racism. It had controversies. Not supporting pride doesn't mean you're LGBTphobic

Antifascism also has its methods which not everyone can approve

knowing trump is pissed off at many media, i'm not so sure about this

Anyways, any obviously biased media is close to useless to me

I have a better counter for any statement about antifa: “Name one.”

I can't name any individual, but it's the same for fascism

Most of it comes from my personal experience, where basically anything was called fascist. I blame it on a few individuals, but it was a pain

"Don't agree with our view of life and economy, you're a fascist!" stuff like that. Those people fuck up the meaning of antifa. Same thing for the few loud individual who act violently in protests. The rude words and the "war atmosphere" used against the alleged facists surely don't help with this image

"... is always followed by" sucks as well

I don't think sharing such biased media is useful

True, I should leave it instead of fighting, but I still feel like discussing can be helpful for people stumbling on those posts later. I don't want them to believe the opposite side just because I stopped answering

It's really easy to be manipulated into believing what people write here is true. Most people think the same thing, and it's vastly different from reality

What?
