The unsupported use case of Bix Frankonis’ disordered, surplus, mediocre midlife in St. Johns, Oregon.

No fear, no hate, no thoughtless bullshit, and no nazis.

Read the current manifesto.

I Am Antifa

Mine Furor today announced, “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.” Antifa, of course isn’t an organization; it’s a principle: antifascism. Here’s a sampling of the people he’ll be designating as terrorists.

You’d also have to include groups like the 107 Independent Supporters’ Trust (a.k.a Timbers Army), and many other American soccer fan clubs.

This is not nit-picking. The control of language is important here. Mine Furor is telling Americans that they must choose between fascism and terrorism.

Let me be clear: I am antifa.

Addenda

  1. You know what local antifa has been up to lately? Making masks and hand sanitizer and other mutual aid activities.

  2. By contrast, Mine Furor has been running around the country without a mask on and telling people to look into injecting bleach. Who's the terrorist here?
