'Look at the definition of the words in the label not what people who use it are actually doing' has never been a good argument.https://twitter.com/christianjbdev/status/903665871100530688 …

I see your point, but unless we agree on terms, how can we assess Linehan's original comment that "if you're not Antifa you're not moral"?
-
We need to define our terms but this doesn't take long. 'I'm not talking abt being opposed to fascism but the actions of the group "Antifa"'
-
But isn't that what the guy was doing (albeit in a haughty way)? Also I often find agreeing defs takes way longer than I would've predicted.
-
Possible he genuinely thought ppl are criticising opposition to fascism rather than the group known as antifa but unlikely.
-
Agreeing definitions is often impossible. You just have to know what the other person means.
-
Usually ppl claiming that opposing antifa is opposing anti-fascism are trying to conflate them & say antifa is the right way to do it.
-
But the tweet he was responding to implied anti-Antifa=pro-fascism=immoral. He was rightly saying Antifa and anti-fascism aren't synonymous.

Christian was, yes. I was agreeing with his criticism of the other tweet. Are we at cross-purposes?
