I would love to see a series of comics featuring Uncle Sam and Auntie Fay as like, a modern Archie and Edith. Or maybe as bitter divorcees but Sam is always shooting himself in the foot and blaming it on his ex-wife Fay, but she's logical and always catches him in his own trap with some sort of clever fourth-panel punchline.

Ok, we can write anti-fascist...it's just a tiny bit more verbose...
...right?

A lot of folks in Ireland have an Aunt Aoife.
You should never use the term antifa, ever.
It's a right-wing scare term, don't help them by spreading the meme.
You don't need a term for anti-fascist, just like you don't need a term for anti-murderer or anti-slaver. It's the default state for any sane person who isn't under the influence of the fascist population.
sure, but two questions:
How do you position yourself when the default opposition is fascist (there is no official left party in parliament eg Hungary, US)?
Who are all the dudes in "antifa" online spaces, is it all just a CIA honeypot or are they just kiddies?
You can be anti-fascist and call yourself as such (though, I'd argue that everyone is anti-fascist by default). Just don't use 'antifa'
The term 'antifa' specifically is a right-wing meme that's being intentionally loaded with a bunch of negative connotations. This meme exists to support scaring the labor class voters away from the left, dividing the class against itself and to attack the monied elites who support left-wing causes by using the legal apparatuses that were created post-9/11 to target 'terrorism'.
By accepting and propagating that term you're helping the right to apply their memetically poisoned label to their enemies.
We have a whole generation of Americans who suffered and died fighting fascism. We call them the Greatest Generation. Patriots, heroes, and veterans... not antifa.
Think of 'antifa' like 'woke' and 'DEI'. They create these terms and load them down with a bunch of connotations so people can be bigoted or fascists without having to confront that fact. There is no antifa.
Antifa is not really a thing, they could also call it anti personal hygiene club because that's kind of how they smell.
Also there is a diversity of leftwing ideas that are at odds with each other.
The MAGA right tries to make this into an organization with clear goals and that's just ridiculous.
Anybody taking bets on what the “unalive” equivalent of antifacist is going to be?
