Being anti-nazi shouldn't be political or controversial

If you don't believe in the authenticity of the video, then allow me to share the story that ANTIFA was running a website called "It's Going Down" and one of their sources of revenue was Patreon. However, Patreon removed ANTIFA funding page as the site's extremism violated Patreon community guidelines (presumably under the "Bullying, Harassment, Threats and Hate Speech" and "Facilitating Harmful or Dangerous Activity" guidelines). If your #NotAll argument held water, then someone in ANTIFA should've fixed the website so that it wouldn't violate Patreon's community guidelines. However, that didn't happen. So either ANTIFA is generally extremist or someone rational in ANTIFA tried to make the website more palatable, but the rest of the group opposed it.

It's not like when you join ANTIFA you get keys to their website.  ANTIFA (much like you've said of the alt-right in posts in the past) is made up of a variety of different groups that don't have connection with eachother.  Their motivated by the same goal (being anti-fascist), but they operate separately with no connections between each other.  

 

This actually bolsters my point further. You're right, you don't just get the keys if you just joined ANTIFA. Therefore, the website was handled by the leaders/higher ups of the group. However, they violated Patreon's community guidelines even though they agreed to terms when they opened their account. One of the responsibilities of being a leader is to set a good example for others. If the leaders of your group went as far as to violate the "Bullying, Harassment, and Hate Speech" and "Facilitating Harmful or Dangerous Activity" clauses, then that group is simply not a good group.
