Sometimes I think that to the left of liberal social justice types dislike antifa because the principles of complete anonymity/secrecy in organizing means you can’t use antifa affiliation to boost your social capital or build a career, so they don’t consider it useful because they use social justice mostly for that…

THIS. Performative activism // performative allyship is sooo important to these types and they can’t wrap their mind around why someone would go do all this stuff and not tell anyone for brownie points and it draws attention to the fact that they’re so clearly in this for social capital

True true true true truuuuuueeeeee
