A loose association of anti-racist groups who engage in popular resistance to fascism. Antifa members recognize the state's refusal to take action against fascist violence and are thus forced to take matters into their own hands to protect their communities.
Antifa members are historically literate and have studied how European fascists used free speech and free assembly as weapons to seize control of their governments and ultimately do away with such liberties. They understand that Nazism and fascism are fundamentally violent, dictatorial ideologies that must be squashed and will exhaust all nonviolent means before resorting to defensive violence.
The establishment vilifies Antifa groups as "terrorists" precisely because they challenge the white supremacist social order and frustrate the ability of white supremacists to use racial minorities as punching bags.

Cornell West: "If it hadn’t been for antifa protecting us (black Charlottesville clergymembers) from the fascists, we would've been crushed like cockroaches."

Get the Antifa mug.A person who subscribes to the horrid belief that women are human beings who deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, rather than gold-digging sluts, crazy bitches, harpy shrews, attention-seeking whores and vindictive liars who deserve to be insulted, degraded, ridiculed, abused, beaten, raped and murdered on a daily basis for the crime of having a vagina.
As the old feminist saying goes, "If we get raped, it's our fault. If we get bashed, we must have provoked it. And if we raise our voices, we're nagging bitches."

Get the Feminist mug.A pejorative term for people who acknowledge the existence of racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry. It was created by insecure straight white cisgender men who are terrified of losing their privileged status and preferential treatment in society as well as their ability to treat women and minorities like pieces of trash with public approval.
Person #1: I don't think it's OK to kill a man just because he's black.
Person #2: STFU AND DIE YOU STUPID SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR!!!

Get the Social Justice Warrior mug.Acting with a degree of civility towards your fellow human beings; regarded as tyrannical suppression of free speech by conservatives who cannot bear to be respectful and considerate of women and minorities. Ironically, the term is wielded by hypersensitive right-wingers to smear and silence viewpoints that deviate even slightly from far-right ideology.
The term has become a convenient scapegoat for politicians to evade responsibility for their own failed policies and safeguard the status quo. By directing the people's anger away from the real sources of their problems and towards "political correctness", politicians successfully preclude genuine political discourse and actual problem-solving.

Person 1: Gays are disgusting disease-ridden sluts who should burn in hell.
Person 2: That's not nice.
Person 1: HELP!!! POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS SUPPRESSING MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!
Comedian: Blacks are chimps who should go back to Africa. Am I right?
Audience doesn't laugh.
Comedian: Oh? Are you all PC?
Audience member: No. We just didn't think the joke was funny. That's all.
Comedian: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS RUINING COMEDY!!!
Citizen: Our for-profit health care system has left millions without health insurance and drives hundreds of thousands to bankruptcy every year. Why don't we expand Medicare so everyone can receive decent and affordable coverage?
Politician: I hear you. But I think we really need to be talking about the epidemic of political correctness that is harming us all.

Get the Reverse Racism mug.Examples of double standards:
(About a male boss): "I love his take-charge attitude!"
(About a female boss): "She's such a bitch! She's probably on her period."
(About a man who has sex): "What an awesome stud/legend/boss he is!"
(About a woman who has sex): "What a disgusting slut/whore/skank she is!"

Get the double standard mug.A naive (and typically uneducated) person who has fallen prey to the media's anti-Muslim smear campaign waged by the elite in a calculated effort to dehumanize people sitting atop a geostrategic oil-rich land and thereby manufacture consent for imperial wars in the region. In other words, it is a useful idiot who can always be counted on to rally around the flag against the enemy du jour.
These sad, insecure people are not interested in discovering the truth. Indeed, the vast majority of them have never personally met a Muslim, nor have they made any attempt to educate themselves on Islam's rich history and culture. Instead, they are solely interested in feeling morally superior and will thus only seek out information that confirms their anti-Muslim beliefs whilst tuning out all facts and evidence to the contrary. Muslims simply provide an easy scapegoat on which they can pin their problems and project their personal flaws and wrongdoings.

Islamophobes will endlessly shriek about false rape allegations and then turn around and falsely accuse all Muslims of rape.
