In this brave new world where words mean the opposite of what we expect, it may be helpful to have a little objective information on organizations with deceptive names that are active in our society today:
Antifa (as in anti fascism),
This is a newly active movement. It is not a group or organization, but a tactic of opposition to everything good, normal, moral and ethical. They are totally amoral, intolerant of any opposing viewpoints and organize to shut down any divergent voices by any means necessary. This is a reincarnation of Occupy and other hyper fascist movements pretending to be anti-fascist.
Michigan People’s Defense Network, http://mipeoplesdefense.net/
This is a new group, with very little documentation available, so I leave you with their own website as documentation. Although it is sparse, what the group says about itself (beginning with its name; so clearly mimicking communist lingo, e.g. People’s Republic of China) clearly establishes that they are very left-wing, anti-Christian and oriented toward violent confrontation of everyone that they disagree with (as in “main-stream America”). When they say, “It is necessary to come out in defense of anyone under attack by racists and fascists. We are prepared to physically defend any victim of such threats or attacks. We are also dedicated to the rejection of institutionalized racism,” they define everyone they disagree with as racists and fascists. Furthermore, by creating imaginary categories such as micro-aggressions and broad categories like institutional racism, they can pervert any action or word into an “enemy of the people.”
Oh, and here is a report on their latest campaign: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/07/27/catholic-mens-conference-in-crosshairs-left-wing-activists.html
Southern Poverty Law Center,
This was once a reputable organization. Now it trades on its former integrity and headline grabbing smear tactics to raise enormous amounts of money. Masquerading as an anti-hate group, it is responsible for the vilification of what most of middle America thinks is normal, like heterosexuality, Christianity, patriotism, etc. They are directly responsible for violent responses to conservative people and organizations.
