And without strawmen can you tell me what is the purpose of Antifa?
And you seem to have skipped all the other stuff that was said, does supporting anti-Fascism mean that you hate "America?" Does it make you racist? And what about the comment about Mr. Coates? Do you think Marvel shot itself in the foot when they hired a black writer for Captain America?
The purpose of Antifa is to oppose what it considers fascism through direct action. However, their definition of fascism is very broad, and their direct action often involves unprovoked acts of violence. It's the latter that I'm more concerned about. Mudslinging may be a common part of the American political sphere, but outright attacks should not be. Antifa are known to used physical violence against not just the alt-right, but anybody they disagree with. I've already spoken about their various acts of violence in Berkeley. They pepper sprayed a woman for wearing a MAGA hat, attacked a Syrian Muslim because they thought he looked like a Nazi, and hit a man over the head with a bike lock while he called for calm, among other things.
Now to answer your questions. Yes, you can be against fascism without hating America. But it's not an all or nothing thing. You can oppose fascism without supporting Antifa. Hell, you can hate both fascism and Antifa. It's the same with racism: opposing fascism doesn't make you racist, but you don't have to like Antifa to be anti-racist. Don't pretend Antifa are the only people opposing fascism. That's a textbook false dichotomy.
Now, let's talk about Coates. I don't think Marvel shot itself in the foot by hiring a black writer. But I do think they shot themselves in the foot by hiring Coates. Why? Because his previous book
got cancelled after only two issues due to poor sales, which a lot of people have blamed on its heavy-handed political themes. Given that this book
also has heavy-handed political themes, things aren't looking good.
