Content warning: anti-fascism / language

I would like to see the abbreviation "antifa" phased out, and everyone saying "anti-fascist" and "anti-fascism" instead. Make it as obvious as possible what 47 and his buddies are trying to sweep out of their way.

If "extravagant" means "exceeding the limits of reason or necessity", you'd think "vagant" means "at/within limits of reason or necessity", but no, English has to screw with us. 😠

It took me slightly too long to find out why everything around here is labelled “IJ”, but this is an unrelated discovery that also supports my theory about “Y”.
