I am a center-right conservative libertarian independent. I'm a Gary Johnson 2016-Dianne Feinstein 2018 voter. Would Antifa go so far as to call a "fascist," even though I'm not (I'm not even a Trumpist, I'm to the left of the GOP)?

Why the hell do you care what a nebulous "organization" thinks about you?

Because I don't understand them and what they would call a "fascist." I know very little about them.

I don't know but they may call you a friend or sympathizer for it due to your capitalist and right of center views but I don't think you would be hated as much as "racist" trumpists or "nazis"

You know, now I'm curious to see what the City of Boston would be like with a total population of three angry leftists and the late Hugo Chavez.

Within 15 minutes they'd get in an argument over what the price of toilet paper should be set at.

It seems Antifa hates more than just the alt-right, they also hate libertarians, establishment Republicans, and Democrats as well.

no. antifa target and disrupt fascist demonstrations. they may dislike other groups politically but they don't try to shut down, like, Jeb rallies or whatever
Would Antifa try to shut down a Feinstein re-election rally?

      This is a big part of the reason that the love affair with Antifa that spread across the American left in the wake of Charlottesville has been irksome to me and several very liberal friends of mine; they are distinctly far-left and not something that anyone who isn't far-left should be tolerating. We've had to deal with their ilk for years in the Bay Area, so we're not under any illusions as to what their real nature is, such as believing that they simply stand for general opposition to fascism.

     I do see SJoyce's comment that Antifa Boston is fake, but I will note that Poe's Law applies; real Antifa are pretty much like that.

Would Antifa go so far that they would harass a Gary Johnson voter who supports a Democratic Senator?

Oh I didn't even notice that. The comment did strike me as something they would say, though. I'm not intimately familiar with them but I've seen enough to conclude that I'd rather see them broken up and shut down than to even consider supporting or indirectly condoning them.

The people who run Antifa Boston are a couple in Eugene, Oregon. Generally @AntifaChecker on twitter is a reliable way to tell if you're dealing with a real or a fake antifa account. Most of them are pretty easy to spot because of the bios or locations (Antifa Mar-A-Lago, Antifa Beverly Hills, Nantucket Antifa, etc). The Boston one isn't like that, but it does retweet and interact with the other parody antifa accounts so it's pretty clear it's parody.

Yeah, I hoped the fact that I literally put "parody account" next to its name in my post would make it obvious to people that, like that account, I wasn't serious. That didn't turn out so well Unsure

You would be considered, from my understanding of Antifa, an enemy of the people.

LOL, even if you're Antifa yourself, there are still Antifa activists who will consider you a racist because you're still white:

beverly hills antifa is also fake. you can tell because the account is called "beverly hills antifa." this really isn't that difficult, folks.

They shared the video, they didn't make it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i6J2fcrKi8
