No one said that what happened in Germany was okay. Literally no one. I'm saying that you're comparing apples and oranges; they are NOT the same group internationally. American antifa is a very very very different beast. A much more docile and ineffective one.
They share the same ideology the same midst and hunting people down and then punch them is not docile at all. Many of these people come to these protest to attack protestors. And yes they are just now forming but they also take a lot of Inspiration from Antifa in Europe. To ignore this movement will lead to more radicalization.
Also for consequences and censorship Just a week ago a black women was fired from I think it was apple because she dared to say that you also can find a lot of diversity between white males. This caused a real outrage and she was fired or stepped down to be replaced by some white women. This is the perfect example why social media mob hunts are also a form of censorship, free thought and freedom of speech.
And this was the sentence that got her fired because of some ideological racist mob.

If you believe censorship only happen when the government is enforcing is that I have to tell you that this is a very naive thinking.
