Be extremely careful!!! Antifa's goal is often to provoke other people enough so that they can get the other people arrested and prosecuted as a result of what the Antifa thugs start. And remember, rarely do Antifa members suffer any consequences from getting arrested. People fighting against them however get the full force of the law brought down upon them.
When Antifa members decided to brawl with Proud Boys in New York the Antifa members were able to hand over the identity of the Proud Boys members that were in the fight. According to the DA's office, as of now the Antifa members in the fight are unknown, even though they spoke to the police at the scene and refused to provide any information about themselves, or apparently remove their masks.
And the NY DA used social media postings by the Proud Boys members in their trial, portraying them as the problem.
Think about that. Who else do you know who can be in a fight, and then when the police arrive talk to them while wearing a mask, and not have to provide ID to the police even though the police know they were in the fight?
Anybody else who tried that would be arrested on the spot by the police.

Antifa is part of a larger team that includes the press AND city cops (if the city is run by democrats). Your instincts are correct and your collection of facts and analysis of those facts - is impressive.
