Walmart is selling “Antifa” clothing that “will [allow you to] express yourself inside the opposition to the ideology, organizations, governments and people from the far right (fascism).”
The mega-retailer is offering at least 13 different sweatshirts “made in Mexico of 100% COTTON for all-day comfort” promoting the group whose activities were “formally classified” by the Obama Administration “as domestic terrorist violence” as early as April 2016, according to Politico, despite the group’s efforts to downplay this determination.
“Antifa,” or Anti-Fascist Action, is an informal grouping of communist, anarchist, and other far-left street gangs. Drawing inspiration from the German Communist Party’s street fighters of the 1930s, the modern movement grew out of the European far-left punk scene in the 1980s. These unapologetically violent bands of leftists were largely unknown in the United States until recent years, when America’s post-Occupy Wall Street far-left began adopting the name.

. . . . in their zeal to build its online store. Inmates running the asylum.
Maybe there is a bright side seeing the FBI is investigating and looking for members of Antifa (Anti-First Amendment) for terrorism. Just how fast would they decide it is not in their best interest to be receiving those subpoenas for discovery based on Homeland Security broad powers.
DHS has classified Antifa actions as domestic terrorist violence. What’s next at Walmart? ISIS flags and T Shirts?
It will be handy to know who to shoot, at 300 yards or more, if they are wearing a sweatshirt that says, in effect, "I'm a Commie. Kill me..."
Try wearing a red MAGA/Trump cap to school... but this shirt is fine!
Selling ropes to hang them with
See if they have “White Lives Matter” stuff. I doubt it.
Just checked. They don’t. It gives you black Lives Matter and lgbt Lives Matter
Oops. There’s an apron with White Lives Matter. Looks like the speech police were sleeping.
Capitalism rules.
The trouble is that the left is a bunch of whining, virtue-signalling snowflakes who will scream bloody murder any time something is perceived to even slightly prick their delicate sensitivities.
The only way we'll counter this is by screaming bloody murder at anything that offends our sensibilities.
And there's the rub: to defeat snowflakes, we'd have to become snowflakes.
And, sorry, I'm not a snowflake.
Walmart: For Walmartians!
When did DHS do that? I have not hear about this. Seriously.
They aren’t the “peace, unicorns, and anti-NAZI” party, they are really Bloodthirsty Communists.
Miltant haters.
Ask them about Israel.
Scratch the surface and you’ll find hateful bigots.
When did DHS do that? I have not hear about this.

Best I can determine ...... at the close of the last week of August 2016, word went around the media that President Obama’s FBI and Department of Homeland Security had classified Antifa “activities” as “domestic terrorist violence”.
Interesting article by Andrew McCarthy on the subject of whether or not to designate Antifa a domestic terrorist organization:
‘Designating’ Antifa a Terrorist Organization Is a Bad Idea
Let’s close by getting back to the civil-rights concerns. I know this sounds crazy, but Donald Trump will not be president forever. In fact, he hasn’t been president that long . . . meaning, it was not so long ago that we were dealing with an Obama administration — and its media-Democrat pom-pom squads — that regarded limited-government conservatives, Second Amendment proponents, and many veterans returning from overseas military service as “right-wing extremists” who posed a threat of “domestic terrorism.” Someday, maybe sooner than we’d like to think, Democrats are going to be in power again. Do we really want to give them enhanced federal powers to harass ideological opponents under the guise of “designating” domestic terrorist threats?
Right this minute, in terms of confronting Antifa or any other domestic terrorist organization, we have a more robust array of state and federal law-enforcement powers than we have ever had. Moreover, coordination between federal and state law-enforcement and national-security officers is as good as it has ever been. All that is required to gut Antifa is THE WILL TO DO IT — the will to say, “Regardless of our disparate political views, we Americans draw the line at violent extortion that eviscerates our right to speak, assemble, and engage in constitutionally protected political activity.”
The socio-anarchist-Communist Left sells things.
This is not Capitalism.
It funds “the cause”.
Revolution isn’t free.

This militant seditious mindset is what Wallyworld in bed with. And to think they clutched the pearls because they found confederate flags offensive.
AKpress used to sell Whitey Must Pay and Burn Down The Mall t-shirts.
I’m all in favor of anything that makes the enemy easier to spot.
“DHS has classified Antifa actions as domestic terrorist violence. What’s next at Walmart? ISIS flags and T Shirts?”
Probably. Just so long as there is no Confederate flag apparel for sale. Can’t “offend” anyone, you know. Except for you and me and the rest of us who don’t matter. But we keep giving our money to these mutts.
