Dubunking conservatively framed Antifa myths

Continuing this post, Repugnantans cry "identity politics" any time a progressive fights for the rights of a downtrodden class of people. And some liberals just go along with this framing, criticizing those legitimate social justice fights and thereby disempowering them. The better framing is social justice, but even then some progressives shoot themselves in the foot decrying those nasty "social justice warriors" who use unbecoming tactics. The same is true for Antifa by accepting the conservative framing that they are equally violent and not to be trusted or valued. This article debunks those false framings and it would do progressives well to quit accepting and unconsciously validating their frames.
