suggesting that antifa's main activity is viciously assaulting people, just because they said some "stupid shit" without thinking about it too much, just proves my point about you not understanding what 'anti-fascism is an idea' means. if you're interested in trying to understand it, i highly recommend watching the video i linked if you have some time. it covers most angles, including the kind of rhetoric used to attack and discredit it.
I don't think many people have an issue with counter-protesting, being against fascism, etc. People don't like it when Antifa radicals do illegal things (like vandalism, assault, etc.)
