@TheOldGuy That would actually be a smart move... "Antifa" is a non-explicit label that can be defined any way one wants - including misdefined.

"Anti-fascism", on the other hand, means what it says and it's more emotionally difficult (usually) for people to declare they're against people who are against fascism.

I think people make much too much use of abbreviations and acronyms, and of analogies and metaphors when referring to ideas, instead of plainly stating what they want to say in a comprehensible and unmistakable way.

They also choose analogies and metaphors that tend to apply a layer of intended emotional pre-interpretation that suggests an already-adopted position on the subject.

If we all discussed and debated things in a less-emotional manner, we might actually arrive at intelligent conclusions together.

Instead of using figurative framing, it can be illuminating to use literal language and see what changes in tone or inference.

Then you can deduce what the figure highlights and what it obscures.
