The recent doxing of a Proud Boy school board candidate by the Midwest Youth Liberation Front highlights the work being done by teenage antifascists.

Article is from 2021, but I’d never heard of the “Youth Liberation Front” before.

    For anyone interested, this podcast miniseries from Robert Evans has a discussion of tactics and ethics from many of the folks who were the main organizers of the Portland protests in 2020. A large number of them are teenagers - to the point where they took steps to hid the kids’ identities for the podcast. Not a direct tie to the folks from the article I would guess, but very similar group.

    It was a very interesting series, and (unsurprisingly) paints a very different picture of what went on in Portland in 2020 than police and magas try to claim.

    As with any such podcast miniseries, this is best listened to in release order.

      Hmmm… yes Robert Evans the anarkiddie who tried to cite examples of business owners trapping customers in burning buildings to argue that incident response should be discarded in favor of a grass roots response and recovery mission by locals.

      Robert Evans is blatantly biased and by his own admission actively participated in the “Rose City Antifa”. He’s literally the left-wing Andy Ngo, and equally brain-dead. But he has a nice voice so people still listen.

        Actually he only introduces this one, nearly everything is directly from the other folks I mentioned. (IIRC) He essentially platformed the organizers to release this information via podcast.
