When someone says “what is the point of #antifa?” or “what are they trying to achieve?”, I’m tempted to explain, but in every case so far that I’ve tried the person has no interest in understanding, and it’s just a waste of time and bytes.

This should be obvious to me. What is there to understand? It’s about stopping (anti) fascism (fa).

I think people are thrown by the idea that you can oppose something political without a lot of overhead.
