Okay, why is Gritty a antifa symbol? I love it, but I’m just curious behind the story

antifainternational:

Oh, are you in for a TREAT!  Sit back now and let us explain it as we understand it:

The world welcomed what has to be the most city-appropriate sports mascot in history when the Philadelphia Flyers introduced us all to Gritty on September 24th.  While the upper crust clutched their pearls in shock and called Gritty “them most terrifying mascot in the NHL”, anyone from Philly or who’s been to Philly or watched an episode of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia understood that Gritty embodied all that is the City of Brotherly Love in one deranged orange package.

Besides Gritty, Philadelphia is also home to some legendary antifa crews like Philly Antifa + a decades-long history of fucking nazis UP!  So, with Trump threatening to visit town on October 2nd, local antifa drafted their new homie with this banner:

That’s all it took.  A couple of Philly antifa + a Gritty banner + social media.  This particular photo spread like wildfire on Twitter (which our own collective would like to take some credit for!) and by the next day media outlets like The Daily Beast were reporting that Gritty was antifa!  Less than a week later, the motherfucking Wall Street Journal ran a boo-hoo column crying about Gritty being antifa!  The icing on this whole delicious cake came about three weeks after Trump was unwelcomed to town when Philadelphia city council issued a formal resolution welcoming Gritty to town that also recognized him as having “been widely declared antifa!” 

The next thing you know, barely a month after Gritty’s first appearance, and maybe 20 Proud Boys get run out of town by 1000+ Philadelphians carrying homemade Gritty antifa signs and banners:

and chanting “WHOSE STREETS? GRITTY’S STREETS!”

And that, friend, is how Gritty became antifa.

P.S. Peppa Pig is an anarchist.

a remake of the movie Speed only instead of a bus carrying a bomb that will go off if the bus goes under 50 mph it’s a bomb strapped to an alt-right blogger and it will go off if he says the word cuck

the alt-right is getting owned hard the last few days, i dont see how they can recover from such epic burns

*act like a cuck every day of my life, entire political ideology is reminiscent of the wants of  a cuckold*

“my political opponents are stupid for calling me a cuck, they say cuck way too much and that makes me right”

the other night i tried to make a curry and i got chilli burns all over my face, so i thought to myself ‘hang on, doesn’t milk soothe chilli burns? it does’ and i couldn’t google because i couldn’t see so i just had to blindly feel my way to the fridge and pour out a bowl of milk, and then plant my face in the bowl of milk, anyway at that point the rice cooker went off and triggered a power surge which turned my electricity off, which i didn’t notice at first because i had my face in a bowl of milk and when i did emerge from the dairy prison i thought i had gone blind with chilli burns. so no i don’t really cook much.
