As Andy Ngô pointed out in a tweet earlier, wildfires are not Antifa or BLM's normal MO. They like to target businesses, police & government property. I'm not saying there is no connection, in fact at least in one case there definitely seems to be one; but we need to be very careful about spreading things that aren't true.
I sense a lot of pressure building up, a lot of people are on edge, and I don't want to see that turned against us because of rumors that may later be shown to be untrue.
We don't know that it's specifically antifa, but it is a large number of people engaging in arson. So far I've only seen confirmation that one of the arsonists is Antifa/BLM affiliated, but can't confirm whether any of the others are affiliated. We absolutely do have evidence of a large number of people committing arson in a short period of time:

I agree. Skepticism is healthy for either narrative. We need solid evidence and sources; otherwise it is larp.
Some other poster said it wasn't true, so who knows what to think. We need confirmation that is unimpeachable.
Ask for Sauce. If not provided, its a larp.
That's where I am at. The rubber has to hit the road.
Can't tell if shill or not.
Antifa/BLM is literally calling for arsonists to burn the forests and at least 2 Antifa/BLM thugs have been caught and arrested.

Okay, sure, so what of Islam's stated aim of using arson as a terror tactic?

Not to mention the date being altogether portensous.
I don't think there's enough here yet to be able make that link.
I would need to see someone from ISIS or another Islamic terrorist group taking credit for starting these fires, or hard evidence showing it was an Islamic extremist that was setting them, and I don't think we have that.
I could see the date being important; but if I'm not mistaken these wildfires started a few days ago, not just today.
Yes but wildfires are burning on the anniversary date and, mostly, I'm hinting at BLM/Antifa being Islam's useful idiots. I do agree my argument is tenuous but worth keeping in mind as events unfold.
Fair point.
With the amount of crazy things that have happened this year I think just about anything is possible at this point.
I've seen two photos and they were clearly Antifa.
The are likely anarchists, it remains to be seen how many are affiliated with Antifa, but I wouldn't be surprised.
