Fascinating parallels between beliefs in & #39;antifa& #39; always needing to be & #39;bussed in& #39; from somewhere else (never your own ever so normal settlement!) & the faerie folk living in an Otherworld just beyond mortal sight
Leave a saucer of milk out for the antifa folk lest they bewitch your cattle, blight your corn and tear down your racist statues
Seriously, this belief in a mischief-making troupe that you will always be told is from some Other Place - nobody& #39;s clear on exactly where, they just know it& #39;s not here - really does have folkloric precedents

They come from the moors and marshes, do the fey folk, so you& #39;ve got to watch for & #39;em
they did take our goodly Winston and left a changeling all of grey boards in his place!
Further to the same point. Remember how faeries and itinerant performers are both deemed & #39;shadows& #39; by Shakespeare? https://twitter.com/TPM/status/1271577840023199745?s=19">https://twitter.com/TPM/statu...
& #39;nay nay goodman calm thyself for this is no faerie band, tis but a troupe of tumblers and mummers& #39;

& #39;dang it sarge this ain& #39;t no antifa this is just a bus full of hippie jugglers& #39;
Neolithic flint arrowheads were once taken to be serious evidence of faeries. Compare this to the way satirical articles and joke credit cards are seriously taken as evidence for & #39;antifa& #39;.
We shall mask the changeling with an effigy of goodly Winston that he might straightways be returned unto us https://twitter.com/MediocreDave/status/1271808980063522820?s=19">https://twitter.com/MediocreD...

If you think you have caught an antifa but it proves to be a mere mortal, why, that just proves how tricksy and cunning the antifa are https://twitter.com/iucounu/status/1286301917279387648?s=19">https://twitter.com/iucounu/s...
up at 3 am searching my entire house by candlelight for the pesky antifa who keep stealing my socks, finding nothing, going to bed concluding that I must have scared them off. & #39;they& #39;ll be stealing some other bugger& #39;s socks now& #39; I chuckle knowingly
I am wearing one of those long nightcaps in this scenario
they do betwitch the creatures of the woods and fields to their will! https://twitter.com/LAGilman/status/1280635195322818560?s=09">https://twitter.com/LAGilman/...
the king of all antifa is said to ride upon a weasel attended by a great cloud of bees

for his lieutenant he hath a weaponized mole
so I was thinking & #39;if only there were some equivalent of the superstitious belief that spiteful faeries can turn the milk sour& #39;

I& #39;d completely forgotten the superstitious belief that spiteful antifa were turning milk into cement
milkmaid, in tears: the FAIRIES have turned the good MILK into CUUURRRRDS

NYPD, in tears: the ANTIFA have turned the good ICE CREAM into CONCREEEETE https://twitter.com/andrewkimmel/status/1270179032038961152">https://twitter.com/andrewkim...
I will continue to update this thread for as long as the parallels keep cropping up https://twitter.com/eats_master/status/1305966266289537024?s=19">https://twitter.com/eats_mast...
Please note that exactly as with the faeries, it is the *small* woodland creatures that are believed to be under the antifa sway

Ask yourselves why people don& #39;t anticipate a trained antifa attack moose, for example
