At no point in this long article did Diana Moscovitz even attempt to address the most important issue, namely how these revelations might affect Elliot’s value in my upcoming fantasy football draft.

Antifa isn’t milquetoast. They are anarcho-communists.

Nah, talking about what happens when they get power.

Oh, I hate neo-Nazis, skinheads (are they still a thing?), KKK, and whatever other racist groups you can think of and wish they didn’t exist. Unfortunately they do exist, and are legally allowed to do so. They also had a legal right to show their sorry faces at a rally with a legal permit to do so. Anarchy and…

Violence is violence.

That’s where you are wrong. Black nationalists are praised, Hispanic nationalists are praised, but white nationalists are evil scum worthy of death according to the left. a Black sports star can go on the field and put up his fist and say black power and nothing will happen to him. A white guy does it and he’s…

MLK and Gandhi both promoted non violent opposition because they realized you can’t convince anyone of anything if you make it easy to muddy the waters with “they’re also bad!”

So we can also have Punch a Communist day?

The right punches commies.....

Nope,

Shhh, quiet down, that’s racist talk. Hyperbole and extremism are the only correct responses this day and age.

after Trump put Neo-Nazis on the same moral level as people who despise Neo-Nazis

But the real danger is that people like Pareene give ideological comfort and justification for “not voting” or “voting 3rd party”, thus influence WAY WAY more than his 1 vote.

This is the western Europe that has enacted anti-hijab laws and anti-burkini laws? It’s actually legal in Europe to fire someone for wearing a hijab. Is that really the kind of nonsense you want here? Germany is enacting a law forcing Facebook to remove posts. Is that really what you want? Xenophobes are afraid of…

In a blog posted today, the ACLU makes a pretty compelling argument (IMO) for defending all speech, even that of white supremacists:

You seriously don’t think that police would use stuff like “pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon” or “what do we want?, Dead cops! When do we want them? Now” to erode BLM or similar groups?

In a free society, the only acceptable answer for bad speech is more speech. Protecting unpopular speech is the very reason the First Amendment exists - because depending on who’s in charge, what is considered “unpopular” can change in a heartbeat.

The argument is SO STUPID. “Oh it’s a slippery slope, if you ban nazi stuff, what’s next? The bible?”

I think I have a decent grasp of history. Decent enough to know that generally speaking when free speech has been challenged, it isn’t rich, white males that are the targets. I know that the Espionage and Sedition Acts weren’t being wielded against Nazis, but leftists. Most attacks on free speech were attempts to…

It’s not actually that crazy. What is or is not considered offensive or horrible speech is highly dependent upon the culture and time period. Right now, obviously we find Nazi and white supremacist language and ideas to be horrific and well we should. Unfortunately, ten years from now, we may find Black Lives Matter…
