Please, you're too good to start ragebaiting. Don't go down this road.

They're already peeing their pants because they know that when they say "Antifa" they mean anarchists and there's no way to identify a "founder" or "leader" or "financier" with people who organize horizontally, so they have no targets. A total mystery to them, just like the location of the clitoris.

I've tried to talk about the history of antifascism in the U.S. (here & in my book) & how most people considered the fight against fascism "over" at the end of WWII but anarchists didn't; we fight fascism no matter who the target is & so have always fought Israeli apartheid. Antifa = anarchists.

I had them together this year and I had allover body aches the next morning pretty bad, but just for a few hours and then totally fine.

You inspired me to watch it before I had to pick up my kids from school. So fun.

Lane Smith 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🤘🏻🖤🔥 @leftlanesmith.bsky.social · 14h

I wanna be someone's hot antifa boyfriend so bad but alas my dance card is empty 😅

Lane Smith 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🤘🏻🖤🔥 @leftlanesmith.bsky.social · 14h

First I was mad that people don't know the histories of UK Antifascist Action & American ARA & so on but now I'm kinda like fuck it, let's make up glorious Antifa folklore, why not? Luigi was just practice. We can have great tales of Antifa girlfriends in this post-truth era.

She's the inventor of relationship anarchy, and she gets as many partners as she wants that are cool with it

They want to have it both ways. We're chaotic and disorganized criminals, or we actually have an agenda and a political plan. Mash em together and call it "premeditated" instead of planned or organized.

Lane Smith 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🤘🏻🖤🔥 @leftlanesmith.bsky.social · 17h

Exactly.

Lane Smith 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🤘🏻🖤🔥 @leftlanesmith.bsky.social · 18h

I agree it can be an ND thing & I think it can also be a cultural thing – there was a lot more loud, assertive, overlapping conversation among my Jewish stepfamily when I was growing up which really helped me break out of my super shy, wait to be invited caution, bc it was intense but loving & safe!

Lane Smith 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🤘🏻🖤🔥 @leftlanesmith.bsky.social · 18h

We should hang out! 🥰

I know it’s not technically polite, but I love having a conversation with other people who are comfortable with short interjecting interruptions. To me it makes the conversation feel more like something we’re weaving together rather than alternating individual presentations. It feels more alive.

Fished all the broken bits of shot glass out of the garbage disposal without cutting myself. 🏅 No, I'm not sitting at home doing shots alone, I used it as a medicine cup for my kid's amoxicillin, don't judge me.

Yay! My music buddy! 🎶🖤
