I did some digging into them last night. I didn't know much about the movement. Only that the term is used to mean "anti-fascism." It seems like they were born out of the "safe-space" movement in a university, shortly before Halloween 2015, when a student went on a screaming tirade at one of the school's officials in regard to said official NOT attempting to censor Halloween outfits that might be seen as offensive to some. She argued that leaders of colleges were not charged with creating an "intellectual space," but rather a "home" for the students.
Oh sweet Moses.
Okay, they're definitely not anti-fascism. They're anti-free speech, it would appear, and certainly not above violence or destruction of private property.
I maintain that neo-anarchists oppose both those things, though, and they stand at odds with the NAP.
