Ridiculous as all of this might seem, homeland security officials tell me that many if not most federal agents have taken all of the rhetoric about shadowy Antifa networks to heart.

chat is it good or bad when the Deep State realigns towards chasing Hyperborea

Well, since "Antifa" is a non-existent organization, it puts them on a wild goose chase.

On the other hand, it also gives them a justification to label any sort of leftist action "Antifa", thereby making it terrorist action.

EDIT: Just had a great thought: if people really wanted to waste the Fed/ICE's time, we should just leave anonymous reports of "Antifa safehouses" in the most obscure places. Send them on a hunt for something that doesn't exist, waste their time.

I think WhyEssEff is joking about the third reich nazis doing the same thing.

ELF also non existing organization. I would characterize what happened during green scare as "wild goose chase".
