You know those Antifa accounts that are springing up all over Twitter? They are all linked to the same Russian bot that got Boston Antifa kicked off! Saw them tweeting a Russian video, clicked to report it, and you will never believe what came up!
I clicked on "report tweet" and immediately saw this message:
Get the fuck out Russian bots! OK thanks for playing!

The spies led seemingly ordinary middle class lives. Their children thought of themselves as American and were as surprised as everyone else to find they were part of a Russian spy ring.

Link to tweet
Is that an anti fascist rally or an orgy?
Oh and that wasn't the only picture of S&M parties and dildos I saw on an Antifa page - I need to go take a shower now.

(3,284 posts)That looks to me like fetish/leather pageant in Sydney Australia. Those troll/terrorist accounts pretending to Antifa are all picking images that will make far right-wingers gag. It's all "Antifa is gay!" or "Antifa wants GIRLS to watch football!" or "LOL, Antifa are weak, they want everything gluten free!"
It's the level of discourse of 12 year olds.

(13,081 posts)Most of which are too obvious, anyway.
Why the fuck would Anti Fascists need a convention? How stupid does one need to be to believe this obvious bullshit?
"Are you a fascist?"
"No."
"Good. If you see any fascists, post it on social media. Meeting adjourned."

Read enough Russian history, and you'll come to a general conclusion that one of the standard flaws in the Russian Macho Male Character is a tendency to want to telegraph and posture, even if the gesture risks complete failure of a plan.
Like the one they're failing at right now.
They should not have EVER let us find out.
Stupid. Totally stupid. They will, like us, emerge from the coming conflict utterly changed as a culture and nation. They didn't think it through well enough. 'Russian Sneak Attack' is going to become a catchphrase for 'Bumbling Fool'.
