They seek exciting and sensationalist stories without regard for any consequences in the real world. They twist their stories to manipulate the readers towards their viewpoint.
But worst of all, they have the gall to present themselves as the upholders of morality and the paragons of democracy. Any criticism you may have for these people is deemed "anti-democratic", which in most peoples heads already is a trigger word for "evil", no amount of arguments can sway them.
You got it backwards.
The only definition from that page that is not related to some extremist marxist/anarchist movement is this article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-fascism
And even that one uses the logo of the Antifaschistische Aktion. None of the other historic Antifascist movements described in that article are in any way relevant today.
Today, "Antifa" is synonymous with "Antifaschistische Aktion".
https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antifa&diff=20053...
Let me cite the German Wikipedia:
> Antifa (Akronym für Antifaschistische Aktion) ist der Oberbegriff für verschiedene, im Regelfall eher locker strukturierte, kurzfristige autonome Strömungen der linken bis linksextremen Szene.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa
Here, Wikipedia describes Antifa as an umbrella Term for "autonomous groups" in the far-left extremist scene.
"autonomous groups" being:
> Als Autonome (altgriechisch: αὐτονομία, autonomía, „Unabhängigkeit, Selbstständigkeit“) oder autonome Gruppen werden heute Mitglieder bestimmter linksradikaler[1] unorthodox-marxistischer beziehungsweise anarchistischer Bewegungen bezeichnet.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonome
Describing them as members of "unorthodox marxist/anarchist" movements.
For all I can remember, this was the definition of "Antifa" here in Germany. Despite constant whitewashing and overton-window shifting attempts.
There is a big shitstorm on Twitter and an edit war on Wikipedia right now, because the left wing of the German Social Democrats have appealed to Antifa.
Wrong.
> The Antifa movement in Germany is a political movement, composed of multiple far-left, autonomous, militant groups and individuals who describe themselves as anti-fascist. The use of the epithet fascist against opponents and the understanding of capitalism as a form of fascism are central to the movement.
This is the definition of the word, no matter how much lefists try to whitewash the term and shift the overton window.

Good job though.
It's pretty easy.
EDIT: A good counter example to this correlation could be Japan. Low gender equality but also low female participation in STEM fields.
Why? Because Japan is a rich country.
- Walk to the next village
- Take a bus to the next city (bus comes by every 2 hours)
- Walk to the train station
- Take the train to the next city
- Take another train to the next city
- Walk to the outskirts of the city to where I work
And I live in Germany, which is presumably the public transport heaven.It would also take me several hours every day.
My car costs me maybe a maximum of 90€ every month and takes me to work in about 15 minutes.
I know what you will say. "Just live in the city and use a bike to get to work, faster and costs nothing! (apart from the bike)". But that would not only reduce my quality of living (let's face it, the countryside is nicer) but also let my rent costs skyrocket (average price per m² more than doubles).
This is also something I have observed in my job. I am in a typical enterprise software shop and I feel like women are more likely to see programming as "just a job", while men are more likely to put more passion into it. But most people in general see it as "just a job", so maybe hobbyist female programmers are just rare because female programmers in general are rare.
Who knows.
And yes, "families fleeing war" are potential terrorist candidates. There is quite a possibility of future generations to radicalize. This happens (Europe exports quite some fighters for ISIL) and it will happen in the future, because the foundations are present. The refugees coming here will be mosty the future bottom of the lower class. And being poor, having no perspective and being insecure about ones identity aren't really things thatr you want to experience combined into a single adolescent boy.
And "families fleeing war" are not the only ones coming as refugees. It is also the fleeing fighters of ISIL.
We'll be in some deep shit in the coming years.
And now, I'll just wait for the downvotes I guess.
The most annoying thing is compiler instructions with special formatted comments. And Rob Pike calls that "elegant design".
