Assuming this is a serious question: There are people who are not themselves fascists who object to the direct action tactics (read: violence, vandalism) sometimes employed under the banner of "antifa."
It's always curious to me how property damage weighs the same or worse than violence against real humans.
I've had people tell me with a straight face that broken windows make one group just as bad as the group threatening violence based on ethnic lines. I don't get it.
itll make more sense if you consider that the right wing has been selling the idea that there is only one fredom/right - property ownership under capitalism
and with that hayek setup, the property isore important than the life. you can be tortured, imprisoned and murdered, but as long as you still own a factory, you are a free man.
its silly, buts its the driving idea behind western culture for the past 40-50 years or so
If someone were to come to my workplace and smash a window, for example, I think it's pretty fair to interpret that as a threat that they might smash the people working there next.
These people are easy to find. Listen for people who are acting like a hero because they boycott Amazon or some other with-your-wallet kind of activism, and suggest nonviolent sabotage. They clutch their pearls so hard, each becomes a tiny neutron star, and you can then triangulate their position in real space based on the gravitational waves from those collapses.
Judging from noblog's opening statement of "connecting radical people" together with a welcoming bomb, I'd suspect they are very welcoming to open, peaceful discussions, particulary with those holding opposing views.

No. Just because I am not against people golfing, does not making me a golfer.
If you're hunting down and prosecuting anti-golfers for their beliefs then you're at least a golfer-sympathizer. A golf club licker if you will.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
It makes you okay with golfing, or not care enough about the impacts and implications of golfing to form an opinion.
It's like they say: if there is a golfer at a table and 10 other people talking with him, you have 11 golfers.

Pol Pot and Stalin were self-proclaimed anti-fascists, so opposing them makes one a fascist?
Yes. Or pro-fa.
