    Antifa and “the Black Bloc” are not organizations that disrupt protests, they are decentralized left-wing political strategies that do quite a bit of organizing for protest movements. they are just protesters, and the vast majority of the people who self-identify as antifa demonstrably don’t do violence. but again, right wing groups designate any kind of left-leaning of liberal protest action as “antifa”, so the actual utility of opposing “antifa” is kind of dubious to me. the entire BLM protest was called antifa by the right, despite the protest on average being quite peaceful.
