Comment on House members erupt into a screaming match following senators forced removal from press conference
fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoFor them antifa isn’t anti fascism the same way for us “for the children” bills aren’t for the children.
They do a distinction between the organisation/movement and the concept, even when there really isn’t in this case.

Why should we care about them misusing language?

You shouldn’t, but staying that they don’t understand the meaning of the word is incorrect regardless.

and their lack of understanding should be highlighted and ridiculed, not compensated and interpreted for them

But you are not highlighting that lack of understanding, you are fabricating a new one and highlighting that one. As stated, they don’t believe that Antifa is just an abbreviation of anti-fascism, they believe that it’s the name of an evil organisation that is branding itself as the abbreviated form of anti fascism.
We should ridicule them for thinking that Antifa is the new Illuminati, not for not knowing that Antifa = anti-fascism because that’s not true.
