there’s a lot of ways to do antifascism, but special shoutout to the dude who just posted a bunch of “Avengers: Endgame” spoilers + tagged a buttload of fash accounts

1/ I haven't really thought about this? If we consider that antifascism is (1) a politics of autonomous community self-defense, and (2) sees itself as battling on two fronts, against both the state and the far-right, there's actually a *lot* of pop culture that fits this trope.
2/ We can look back to 1952's "High Noon" as an example of something that involves some of the same themes? Will Kane attempts to organize a community into standing up to the Miller Gang, and is helped by his Quaker wife, who sees the failure of her pacifism.

3/ Or "Captain America: Winter Soldier," which sees Steve Rogers fighting both Hydra agents and the US government. Neither is really what I'd consider a perfect example, but you can see similar themes?

4/ Or check out "Rogue One," where a small group of rebels directly opposes the Alliance Council-- which wants to appease the Empire, not fight them directly-- to steal the Death Star plans and prevent a weapon of genocide.
