Meh. Of all the antifascists I know (mostly thriugh veterans, firearms and shooting sports groups) , about 90% are combat veterans looking for a purpose (and what better purpose than fighting fascists). Ages range up to late 50s, but most are in their 20s and thirties. A range of blue collar and white collar professionals. All really good blokes who don't want to give a platform to this new breed of rabblerousing fascists calling for genocide. They have a wonderfully dark, irreverent and direct sense of humour that I love.
Meanwhile weirdo Infowars conspiracy groups and Fox News keep peddling propaganda that it's a movement of effete Berkley kids in masks who set trash cans alight and are on a billionaire’s payroll. Pretty funny really.
Now, you could argue that fighting the rising fascist movement is, in the end, a side-show to the real power politics that goes on in DC and Wall Street. But that doesn't detract from what they do in my mind.
