    Antifa hides their faces from authorities because they would otherwise be persecuted by the state. Patriot Front has the backing of the state (many of them are police themselves), they’re hiding their faces from the people. Antifa are protecting their lives, Patriot Front are protecting their reputation. One is pragmatism, the other cowardice.

      If Patriot Front was a state asset then no one would have gone to jail for Jan 6th.

      antifa originally hid their faces so they could commit crimes and not be identified. Granted now as an enemy of the State hiding their faces is a necessity because mere associating w/ antifa is a crime.

        You realize the current president wrote pardons for all those insurrectionists, don’t you?

        Trump pardoned everyone for Jan. 6, and he’s the Despot In Chief. Will be forever, with the help of Patriot Front. They’re his personal army.

        Saying this after they all got presidential pardons is just insulting.

        Granted now as an enemy of the State hiding their faces is a necessity because mere associating w/ antifa is a crime.

        Antifa is an enemy of the state because the state is an enemy of the people. Also, it truly exposes the hypocrisy of right-wingers like yourself when you celebrate guilt by association with an ideological stance (antifa is not even an organized group) after years of proudly proclaiming yourselves as free speech absolutists. You’re libertarians when Democrats are in power, but fascists when Republicans are in power. Pretty convenient for you guys, huh?
