Doesn’t matter if they’ve been around for one day, one year, or one hundred years; or if they are a loosely connected bunch of crackpots or a well organized cabal. If they are advocating violence (and actually using it) against a group of people, even if they consider “these people” to be a threat to the American way of life, then they are guilty of using the same tactics that we find so offensive in groups like the KKK and are therefore on the same moral ground. Just because you find them less offensive and less pervasive than other hate organizations doesn’t make them any less a hate organization. And make no mistake, the people calling themselves antifa are advocating violence and actually using it.
