WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director Chris Wray told lawmakers Thursday that antifa is an ideology, not an organization, delivering testimony that puts him at odds with President Donald Trump, who has said he would designate it a terror group.

Since the election of President Trump and the rise in racist and white supremacist activity, the militant antifascist movement known as antifa has become increasingly active and high profile in the United States. This book analyzes the tactics, culture, and practices of the movement through a combination of social movement studies and critical criminological perspectives.Based on extensive fieldwork and interviews with activists, this book is the first scholarly sociological analysis of contemporary antifascist activism in the United States. Drawing on social movement studies, subculture studies and critical criminology, it explains antifa's membership, their ideology, strategy, tactics and use of culture as a weapon against the far right. It provides the most detailed account of this movement and also cuts through much of the mythology and common misunderstandings about it.This book will be of interest to scholars and students in sociology, political science, anthropology, criminology, and history; however, a general audience would also be interested in the explanation of what drives antifa tactics and strategy in light of the high-profile conflicts between fascists and antifascists.

Jordan Peterson has been one of the most prominent so-called intellectuals in Western politics. Bursting onto the scene railing against wokeness, he quickly became extremely wealthy through self-help book sales, podcasts and his own popular YouTube channel. Cutting a centrist image, his mainly male fan bases had a range of political beliefs. Peterson was seen as a calm rational debater who could successfully take on the left and the right with facts and logic. However, since 2017 he has been slowly pandering to an increasingly hard right audience before eventually joining Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire this month. Due to the somewhat diverse nature of his fanbase many have turned against him quickly saying he has become the caricature the left always painted him as. In this video we go through his rise on social media and how he has gained a right-wing fan base while alienating his original fans. .00:00:00 - Intro 00:05:37 - I never liked Jordan Peterson 00:08:40 - Jordan Peterson Calm and Rational Persona 00:13:10 - Jordan Peterson was always Toxic 00:18:06 - Jordan Peterson’s Twitter Ban 00:20:05 - Jordan Peterson’s Subreddit TURN ON HIM 00:31:00 - His Fans call him out 00:35:00 - Closing Thoughts My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TheKavernacle Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com//TheKavernacle My Instagram: https://instagram.com/thekavernacle/ Second Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtet3kEWqgKj6sSfMgf2n7A My Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2g88k90PsIKnDxU39lU0qi?nd=1&nd=1 My Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheKavernacle/ My Personal Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/tommycahil1995 My Medium: https://medium.com/@thekavernacle
