Many antifa and anarchist groups work closely with ppl in academia. The people largely shaping the movement are not all the same people on the ground, broadly speaking.
Personally, I'm afraid of all the militants... most are unwittingly carrying out an agenda not in their heart. Over the course of my generation as a late gen x-ers, folks started substituting politics for a personality.
When I produced the March Against Monsanto in pdx in 2013 and 2014, we had black blockers. I'd never seen them before, but they were trying to tell legitimate protestors to go off the planned path... seemed completely without reason. Luckily very little of the crowd followed their lead. I still don't know why they felt the need to disrupt an incredibly peaceful crowd...

Good questions, Meghan, although I am not finding this guy very credible.
Why? Genuine question
YES. It does help TWUMP and, if I still had any faith in politics, it would REALLY piss me off.
Oh man, I wish more activists produced zines, like the dangerous pamphlets pushed by that hustler Thomas Jefferson.
