My best guess: It's because you're a liberal and not part of a visible minority. Also, you don't live somewhere with a serious far-right problem.

Thugs have no legitimate place in the political process. Both the fascists and the antifa tolerate (and to some greater or lesser extent, encourage) thuggery on their behalf; therefore, they are both dangerous fuckwits.
(Also, I rejected the terminology of left and right to a significant extent some time ago; it lumps looney propertarian gun nuts in the same category as fascists, and state communists in the same category as anarchosyndicalists, proving its own bogosity.)

They're quite different. Antifascists who espouse violence hurt people because they have chosen to be Nazis. Nazis who espouse violence hurt people because they were born a different colour or sexuality. This isn't complicated.

1) Antifascists make trouble for (non-fascist) bands with ambiguous imagery.
2) Not all fascists are national socialists.
