I’m not sure. Also, downvotes don’t really matter on Lemmy / Piefed. And I don’t care if I’m downvoted anyway 🙂
I just find it curious that anybody would downvote a post to an article that warns about the weaponization of a term to suppress dissent. The only explanation I have is, those who downvoted saw the title “We are all antifa” and immediately voted it down because they’re not antifa - completely missing the point of the article because they haven’t read past the title.
