Thank you for the effort.

You mention the years a few times- the claim I was asked to cite was in the past tense and I deliberately sought sources from before the current regime. This is your sole criticism of the deBoer article. Antifa was still called Antifa and it was still short for anti-fascist in 2017 and 2021.

Wiki says:

>Some on the political left and some civil rights organizations criticize antifa's willingness to adopt violent tactics, which they describe as counterproductive and dangerous, arguing that these tactics embolden the political right and their allies.

>Both Democratic and Republican politicians have condemned violence from antifa

>CNN describes antifa as "known for causing damage to property during protests."

Among many other similar statements; I think your summary is inadequate.

I can't argue with false flag conspiracy theories, so I'll leave it at that.
