Um, what does he think Antifa means? You notice how they almost exclusively use the abbreviation and hardly ever the full name? For those who might actually be unaware, it means Anti-Fascist.
Scott Adams is a fucking moron. He apparently thinks anti-fascists are actually pro-fascist. Dumbass.
He’s probably one of those people who think the nazis were socialists because nazi is short for “national socialist”.
Or who conveniently forget about the Southern Strategy and the great party switch. Massive, massive mental gymnastics to put themselves on the ‘right’ side of history every time
I thought it was “I did Nazi that coming”
/S
While I agree with both of you, these two points kinda contradict each other.
Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.
Many do think antifa is just a different word for socialist, so it’s not necessarily a contradiction.
It is a contradiction, though.
“Antifa are ANTI fascist - it’s in the name!!”
“The Nazis weren’t socialist - you could name yourself whatever you want!!”
A lot of conservatives have problems understanding words, especially words that apply to political beliefs. It’s party ignorance and partly a result of years of indoctrination. One example, thinking that anyone who isn’t hard-right is a ‘socialist’ or a ‘commie’ and not understanding that those aren’t the same thing. Then, fascist… many people seem to think fascist means an authoritarian government, independent of any other qualities or beliefs.
I’ve heard more than one person on Fox News or other Right Wing stations call them Fascist Antifa.
Antifa literally means “anti-fascist.” Anyone who fought against the Nazis in WWII was “antifa.”
And Scott Adams lost his f*cking mind years ago.
4k retweets and 8k likes. I’d say twitter is a shithole, but those morons are people, and they will just go sonewhere else when twitter dies.
They are probably already on Truth Social.
Every word uttered by a conservative is either a lie or profoundly incorrect. Every communication is an attempt to manipulate. This is who conservatives are.
Never trust the word of a conservative. Never.
I used to read ToiletPaperUSA on reedit and yeah, fuckin Charlie Kirk. EVERYTHING he posts online contains fallacies and conflations attempting to manipulate people, like he knows his ideas can’t stand on their own without dishonesty.
Well actually the KPD and the NSDAP did work together as they saw the SPD as their combined enemy.

Here is a PhD thesis to the topic.
Edit: I did not mean literally all the time, one single time before the NSDAP rose to power.
See @jerdle_lemmy@lemmy.world’s comment below
No. No it wasn’t. Antifaschistische Aktion was a paramilitary wing of the communists, fighting both the social democratic Iron Front and the Nazi Sturmabteilung.
The only way in which it could be said to be allied with the Nazis is that both of them opposed the social democrats, but the enemy of your enemy is not in fact your friend. The KPD saw both the SPD and the NSDAP as fascists, rather than in any way allying with the NSDAP against the SPD.
Bro I literally linked a PHd thesis
LOL, Scott Adams can’t cope with reality so he has to make up history to make himself feel better.
The fact that he’s rich is the only reason he hasn’t been Baker acted.
