I get it—Clint Eastwood gave the game away years ago when he ranted at an “empty” chair on national television. Only, it clearly wasn’t empty to right-wing eyes. I get that. There’s a whole other world of criminals, terrorists, invaders, and fascists that normal people can’t see.
Now, while I try to have an open mind, there’s just no evidence that normal people can see, touch, or measure that these things exist. And right-wingers can’t provide any, other than to get wild-eyed and demand that it’s obvious.
So, if you’re seeing an actual organization called Antifa, much less one that employs fascist tactics, well, it’s totally undetectable to the rest of the world. I also try not to diagnose mental disorders without full information, and without formal qualification, but, well, please see your doctor.
