A group of people embracing the term “antifa” was one of the stupidest self-owns of the past decade

Blame American education for not teaching all the nuances between "Authoritarian " and "Fascist"? When Trump decried "antifa" it was very telling to me - once I learned what it meant. only a fascist would want to suppress Anti-fascists!

I remember W saying that it’d be easier to be a dictator, just as long as HE was the dictator, heh-heh.
I was troubled by that, were you?
Calling it the 'self-own of the decade' seems like a bit of a stretch.
Legitimize protest movements, not their critics.
(FWIW, there are legitimate discussions to be had over how much is spent on American policing versus, say, housing and education but for many all they heard was "liberals want to abolish cops")
Assuming you agree that it was - which slander-proof would you suggest for them? Do you really think that would make a difference and stopped lies about them?
