At a time when so many supposed “leaders” including the presumptive Democratic nominee for president refuse to acknowledge and/or unequivocally condemn the Antifa rioting that has turned major American cities into hellholes, seeing a company take a stand against them is a beautiful sight to behold.

The Twitter account “Antifa International”, not an official account but one that is generally considered authentic, pitched a fit Friday after finding out that eCommerce website Teespring was pulling Antifa-related merch from their site because “the word ‘Antifa … is in violation of our acceptable use policy and not permitted on Teespring.com'”:

The account then laughably proclaimed the word “Antifa” did not violate the acceptable use policy because “it doesn’t harass specific individuals” (not true), “it doesn’t promote a terrorist group or activity” (not true), “it doesn’t promote illegal activity” (not true), and “it doesn’t glorify harm/violence” (definitely not true):

How does the word "antifa" violate @teespring's acceptable use policy? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It's not hate speech.
It doesn't harass specific individuals.
It's not porn.
It doesn't glorify harm/violence.
It doesn't promote a terrorist group or activity.
It doesn't promote illegal activity.

Supporters of Antifa’s thuggish tactics poured on the outrage, and accused Teespring of “supporting fascism” or something because of their site policy:

Hey Teespring quick question, do you do prints on boots? I think it would be a great idea because it would give you a cool design to look at while you’re licking them

I'd never heard of Teespring until I found out they supported fascism. I guess kudos to @teespring for getting your name out there.

I won’t bore you with any more of the responses because most of them were the same type of vapid whinging we’ve come to expect from basement dwellers, so let’s just skip right on to the good part.

After they received yet another complaint about their decision to stop selling Antifa merch and another accusation that they were “fascist sympathisers”, Teespring had had enough:

Teespring is not a fascist company. Due to the recent increase of violent Antifa content, we have removed all Antifa related listings until we are able to review the intent behind the designs. Reviewing this content will take some time, so we appreciate your understanding.

Just think of what better, safer places Democrat-run cities like Portland and Seattle would be right now if city “leaders” took a similar stance against Antifa – and stuck to it.

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but I hear that there’s a wahmbulance on standby for the more fauxfended among them. The world’s tiniest violin is also playing for them, or so I’ve heard, way way off in the distance.
