Antifa or Antifa, depending where you live in this country, the anti-fascist who go mask into demonstrations, why are they masked? They do not want to be identified. Antifa has always been a buzzword. In the media, a buzzword is a word or phrase that becomes very popular for a period of time. They will move quickly and talk about Antifa this, this, uh, uh, group that's been identified on the far left.

Um, how do we read that? And just today, the president Trump has declared Antifa as a terrorist organization. And that's the reason why today. We're gonna focus, um, Antifa and whether you call them Antifa or Antifa, the group has become a relatively recent buzz word in the news. Yet the antifascist movement has been around for nearly a century.

So what exactly is the modern Antifa and where does it come from? Well, historically anti fascism has been defined as a reactive and Milton opposition to fascist groups in power.

According to Merriam Webster, the definition of Antifa Antifa is a person or group actively opposing fascism. The second definition is an anti fascist movement. An example from tart Chitlin would be. Antifa is the backlash to the backlash at defensive response to the growing presents of right wing extremism.

The first known use is 1946 in the meaning defined at the first definition, and from the etymology point of view, Antifa was borrowed from German. Antifa short for anti-fascist dish in anti-fascist tissue act tune, meaning multi-party front initiated by the German communist party in 1932 to counter narcissism.

Pivot of, you call it whatever you want, but they're people that want free speech. If you look at what's going on with free speech with the super left. With Antifa with all of these characters. I'll tell you what, they get a lot of publicity, but you go to the real campuses and you go all over the country.

You go out to the middle West, you go out even to the coast in many cases, uh, we have a tremendous support. I would say we have majority support. I think it's highly overblown, highly over. I totally agree. And we see it on the ground and some people say, Hey, I'm, did you recognize that voice? Have a guess.

So guys, that's it for today. I'm Daniel Goodson. Thank you very much for tuning in. Bye. We could even engage in some light and gun-free fact checking every now and then you could while your friends online by being the first to figure out that this supposed image of a. Antifa demonstrator beating a policeman in Charlottesville was actually an altered photo of Greek protests taken years earlier.
