they all want to lead the fight, and they know what they know alright

It is all very well to say "if you are not with the [explicitly violent] antifascists, you're with the fascists" but what these explanations do not seem to include is actual detailed discussion of how or why I can operate on the assumption that these people won't decide that I'm the next target.

Yes this. And in addition to your disability concerns (which I share) there are of course Jewish concerns (as I know you know.) I haven't heard of an incident of antifa targeting Jewish people as Inherently Oppressive yet, but I'm sure I will. I'm sure it's already happening and I just haven't seen it cross my tweetfeed or dash yet.

And I read a tweet just last week in which some antifa was saying that if you criticise antifascist methodology at all then you're aligned with the nazis. That fucking terrifies me. Like, pants-shittingly terrified. As Emma Goldman probably thought was too basic to even state, if I can't criticise you I don't want to be part of your revolution.
