Most of us are Anti-fascist, since fascist like the Nazi’s are extremists that were responsible for many atrocities during WWII, but Antifa appears to be a broad collection of left wing activists using harassment, digital activism, doxing, violence and vandalism to target moderates and right wing activists alike. Most of their anger to fascists is justified since fascist policies are extreme;

1. Authoritarian leaders or Supreme rulers with a high degree of central authority
2. Support Mass surveillance and property theft
3. Support violence to achieve political objectives
4. Believe that Government should control business and extort profits for their supporters
5. Support ultra-nationalism that is intolerant of foreigners or minorities
6. Promotes corruption for the benefit of political insiders
7. Often have a Darwinist or Supremacist view of society

While it is obvious that the fascists right exhibit these traits, anti-fascists also appear to have some of many of these traits. I have been spied on, had intellectual property stolen and been harassed by the Trump AND Biden administration, even though I am a moderate centrist that does not support extremists. You can read more about it in my post Theft of Everything.

I believe new tech has enabled both sides to spy on, rip off and harass the general public and abuse it for political purposes. This new tech is being exploited by the top 1% from both parties (in Big Tech, the Media and the Government) and this has resulted in the issues we’re currently experiencing.

An example of this is the unregulated development of Artificial Intelligence and the mass surveillance and intellectual property theft that has been happening for the past few years under both administrations. Palantir, XAI, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and others have unrestricted use of AI to spy, steal, censure, attack and generate deep fakes and false advertising (which are all illegal) but it continues without consequences. Theodore Roosevelt said that Plutocracy (Government by the wealthy) is the lowest form of Government and he is correct.

Fascism is a serious problem, but the socialists are also using AI to manipulate and control the General Public so the people must demand they adhere to the law and respect our civil rights to restore democracy and avoid vigilantism.

The recent actions by ICE in Minneapolis illustrate the fascist right disregard of the law and their ability to distort the facts to confuse the Public. There leaders must be fired, but we must also look at the root causes, which is the ability of both parties to exploit AI for mass surveillance, vandalism and harassment for their own benefit.

In addition, while Hollywood and the media have traditionally been seen as left, they appear to be benefiting from this under both administrations which makes me wonder if this is a left vs right problem, or a rich vs everyone else problem?
