"I don't support violence that sometimes happens, but I support calling out bigotry, racists, homophobes and fascists." That's similar to saying I support White Supremacy, however I do not support the violence that sometimes happens from it.
No, not at all Eegore. Antifa stands for "Anti-Fascism". The core idea within that movement is about taking a stand against fascism.
White supremacists' motivations are based solely on race - and how whites are superior.
Two completely different things. Antifa is anti-fascism, but pro-violence by looking at historical activity from the group. Just as any White Supremacy group can claim they are non-violent, Antifa can claim the same.
That's also not entirely true. Take a look at this link:https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/X56rQkDgd0qqB7R68t6t7C/seven-things... I for one am just in support of non-violent, low impact expression. I may agree with anti-fascist philosophy but I won't support a group that assaults others or damages property to express the message.
