I never support ANY group until I know what they are really up to. Some of the worst groups out there have "liberty" or "freedom" in their names.
And what about the Anti-fascist movement (Antifa). You are against fascism aren't you? So you supporting Antifa?
I'm not talking about supporting anyone. I didn't say it's not your job to investigate a group you may want to support, I said it's not your job to figure out what a group stands for, that's their job. So if I see "defund police" and I think it means eliminate police departments and think "that's stupid" and move along. Now if I see Antifa, and think, hmmm anti-fascist sounds like a good thing, then I will look more into them.
