How does one pronounce Antifa?

Is the emphasis on the last syllable: an tee FAH

Or is it on the second syllable: an TEE fah

When I get my orders from Soros to get on the bus and go to Peoria, I want to make sure I’m saying it right. 😆😆

Yes. Even Rachel. She’s like the lefts Lou Dobbs. My heart condition can’t take being that angry after the show

My fav news is Amanpour & YouTube & Seth Meyers

I think the anTEEfa is purposeful. Sounds more evil

Just not as an organization and not with the goals and methods attributed to them by the likes of Barr and Faux "News"

It's pretty simple - they're Nazi punchers. You will see antifa turn out to counter-demonstrate at white supremacist and neo-Nazi events. They aren't interested in vandalism or breaking windows. They turn out to punch Nazis, and that's it.

All of the United States and the world fought fascism. That is why pukes only say Fa. Their base doesn't know any better.

ANTI-FAscist. Pukes made a good thing a bad word if you only say Anti-Fa.

But then people would probably think it was anti-fashion. Which might be a thing in its own right.

“Antifa” is just a right wing talking point over a mostly non-existent group.

“Anti” as in anti-corruption. Then “fa” as in f*kin’ fascists strewn throughout our political system.

The fascists will assume these are busloads of seniors going to the nearest casino. Hiding in plain sight. They’ll never see us - and our scanners - coming.
