It's striking how willing Greenwald is to make this completely farcical point, surely knowing better. Those other protesters just have this unfortunate habit of winding up in jail or dead under more-or-less mysterious circumstances.

It's striking how rarely the most powerful centers of neo-fascist power - the Pentagon, the CIA, the NSA, huge corporations, Silicon Valley masters of the universe - are the targets of anti-fascist protests, almost as if the easiest and least powerful targets are chosen instead: twitter.com/annakhachiyan/…

Hooded antifa chapters are hardly the only form of civil protest fitting in some sense under "anti-fascist". In a way it may be the absolute least proactive form of activism under that rubric.

When you show up to fight Proud Boys or whatever, the police rarely condescend to do more than enforce unequally. Try going after the feds and see how long before you are found dead in a car trunk somewhere, like, I don't know, any number of activists recently.
