Political mob violence by masked individuals to deprive people of constitutional freedoms is a form of terrorism.
Does it meet the US legal definition of “terrorism”?
According to that, yes.
I see. Did this “antifa” commit acts that “occur[ed] primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States”?
Lol… it depends on what is is gambit? Have fun with that.
It would help if you actually read the cite beyond the first sentence and got to the #5. It only takes 10 seconds.
gambit? I don’t know what you are talking about. I asked you a serious question. Your inclination to answer it or not is incumbent on your own personal integrity.
Sure. But it’s very silly to ask for a definition and when a link is provided not take the effort to read beyond the first sentence. So how about you take 10-15 seconds and actually read the cite?
No worries either way. I’m used to inconvenient cites being ignored.
It meets the definition of “domestic terrorism” in the link which octopus subsequently supplies.
But it would meet that definition even if the individuals weren’t masked. The masks are completely irrelevant.
And reflecting on that leads to the realisation that many of the actions taken by law enforcement agents against the protestors also meet the definition of “domestic terrorism”.
Dressed like them, held the same signs, mixed in with them. Used some of the same languages and buzz words.
They did NOT wear Nazi regalia, white hoods, or carry White power placards like the other side.
That is true, but Antifa didn’t do it. Anarchists pretending to be antifa did it.
Pretty sure that the police meet that definition too.
How does Antifa dress and what signs do they hold? How do you know how “antifa” dresses? How do you know what signs “antifa” holds?
I follow the news. Take a look at pictures of antifa pcounter protestors at the Unite the Right Rally, see the guys counter protesting the assholes with Nazi & confederate flags and KKK symbols?
Those are antifa.
“Smash White supremacy” “Make racists afraid again” “good night white pride” “In the name of humanity we refuse to accept a fascist america”, and so forth.
Are you actually having problems with this?
I see. So anyone counter-protesting Nazis is “antifa”? Your second cite is just a Google search. Last time I checked, and was checked by my professors, a link to a Google search isn’t proof.
Got anything else?
I think we should “Smash White supremacy” If I post that on Facebook, does that make me ‘antifa’?
In what way is a group of folks that actually exist ‘imaginary?’
Do they exist? Prove it. Without using YouTube videos.

I don’t need to prove the earth is round nor do I need to prove antifa exists. Now, what you want to believe is up to you. Are you saying antifa does not exist? Yes or no. What’s your stance?
Those folks were actually brave as compared to the LARPers that bully old folks for having a different opinion.
I have this weird quirk that I don’t believe something exists unless somebody proves it. I guess I’m strange like that.
