Pastel Bloc at UC Berkeley

“Another group with pink masks carried shields with three arrows on them, calling themselves the “Pastel Bloc,” and said they were there to counter any violence from “Black Bloc” protesters.” (link)

Hm, okay……………..

holy shit lmao

hey, i know some of the people involved in this, and that article entirely misrepresents what happened. they stated that they’d put together the Pastel Bloc as an alternative for people who – because of disability, gender, etc. – couldn’t risk arrest and injury by participating in the black bloc, but still wanted to show up and support militant antifascist action. some of the participants were street medics, there to directly aid the people confronting the fascists. the article states the exact opposite of their intent because journalists didn’t care enough about accurately portraying antifa to differentiate between “alternative bloc for those support but can’t directly participate in militant action” and “against militant action altogether.”

Fuck whoever misrepesented them.

Oh shit, good to know. Never mind, I do not want to punch.
