You can't give out instructions on how to join a "violent left wing extremist group", because that "violent left wing extremist group" doesn't exist.
I'd rather not give out instructions for joining a violent left wing extremist group on a public forum.
Did you think before you asked me that?
Speaking of ideas, did you see the bit where the Georgia primary shows more whites than blacks used absentee ballots?

Antifa is an idea, not an organization.

That's okay; nobody else knows, either.
They're a left wing extremist group....they use and advocate violence.

Antifa is not an idea it is an excuse to be violent toward anyone that doesn't agree 100% with a political POV. No there is no organization as such just a very warped mind set.
As someone who has consistently identified as anti-fascist my entire adult life, and also as someone who has identified as an advocate of non-violence, I find the idea of labeling those opposed to fascism as "violent extremists" very bizarre.
Want to be critical of people behaving badly? Well I'm critical of that too.
But as I see it, the intent to label anti-fascism as a "violent extremist group" is about twisting the narrative. Spin the tale, weave fiction.
The ones in power who wish to spin this are the same people who would have had Dr. King labeled a terrorist if they could have.

And I'm talking about it not being an entity, that there is no "their", and "they" have no purpose.
Yep, still not a single named leader. Heck, at this point, I'd settle for a single named member.
Perhaps if people stopped obsessing over what slogans people wear on tshirts, we could have a discussion about something meaningful.
Meanwhile, I note the white gun toting yahoos that protected those towns in Idaho (?) from the unicorn sorry antifa invasion are chalking up the non arrival of the non existent unicorns sorry I mean antifa as a victory.
Here's a single named member...is that what you're looking for?
Sorry, but the "if people would stop obsessing over what slogans people wear on their clothing so we can have a meaningful conversation" doesn't play
And I'm talking about it not being an entity, that there is no "their", and "they" have no purpose.
Based on their web page they seem to think they are a group. they recount the founding and formation of the group.
They indicate they are "a group closed to members only"
Rose City Antifa
Ridiculous level of conflation well below your usual standard of posting.
You will have to explain how the group calling themselves a group is not a group.
What am I conflating? Please spell it out.
That would go against the narrative that ANTIFA is not a group.
Sure. the fact that there exists a closed facebook group that calls itself
Sure. the fact that there exists a closed facebook group that calls itself the Rose City Antifa in no way, shape of form proves the existence of an actual national level organisation called Antifa, on no way even hints at antifa being in anyway involved in any aspect of the current unrest. It's utterly irrelevant to the actual conversation.
No, it doesn't. Given there's no trademark or any other IP around the word antifa people are entirely free to insert it whereever they like with a complete absence of intent or causality.
Anyone with skinny jeans and ear piercings should be declared an antifa member and must be forced to pull up their pants. Especially if they have blue or green hair.No Sign Of Antifa So Far In Justice Department Cases Brought Over Unrest
Well, gosh... we can blame them and label them as terrorists... we just can't seem to find them...
