If by desperate, you mean low effort, I'll sort of accept that. I spent about 90s on it.

But as to these not being "Antifa", get real. If any weren't done by Antifa, Antifa would nonetheless cheer the perpetrators on with great enthusiasm. That's what Antifa is about. They are denigrators and destroyers of that which is decent and noble in humankind.

...fascism, as per their name?

The KKK, as in your own link?

Or currently, multiple Confederate memorials[0] created specifically "to further a white supremacist future"[1], which you ever so gingerly avoided referencing directly?

I'm speaking most specifically of those who served in WWII, which in my opinion was the most heroic service in living memory. They prevented what would have been world-wide tyranny, and though not soon enough, prevented the extermination of the Jews in concentration camps.

Antifa has shit on the memory of these honorable warriors--many of whom gave their lives--by defacing their monument. For shame.

One person did that (or possibly a small group; I'm not certain of the details). Are you suggesting that an entire nebulous, poorly-defined movement is responsible for one particular action by one particular person?

It's starting to look more concerted. Check out the story about the defacement of the memorial to the black Civil War regiment in Boston. Something's up.
