Violence is only okay when you simply don't like the person. Proven to be true on this forum time and time again.
Saw these protests last night. Terrific stuff.
A friend placed a wonderfully worded post on her Facebook last night about the Berkley protests. It was quite inspiring and have to agree with the sentiment that it likewise inspires me to see so many opposed to fascism.
Just to give you an idea, Trump himself held the LGBT flag on scene, filled in a crowd of conservatives and wasn't outright shunned.
Ten years ago, if bush held a LGBT flag... You know, I remember when Westboro Baptist Church was considered the home of the bad guys.
It seems like we had true reasons to fight and we would fight with comprehension and common understanding. For every sheet written "GOD HATES FAGS" or "HOMOSEXUAL IS GAY" (still find that one funny), two others would pop ridiculizing the movement.
I don't know, maybe it's me having a twisted vision of the past, but it seems to me that back a few years ago, we used to fight cleverly, not with fist, intimidation, and violence.

Political left, right similarly motivated to avoid rival views
[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
Yeah terrific stuff. Protesting alleged fascism by behaving like a fascist
Oh and historical fun fact: Behaviour like this, or more violent was the reason behind founding of both SS and SA. In short, if you start using violence against your political and ideological opponents, they will start using it against you too. Are you ready for that?
Talk about feeding the trolls. Milo is a real-life internet troll that makes bank by making politically incorrect statements. Just ignore him and he goes away; why is that so hard to comprehend?
O rly. I don't buy that. Even if true, it hardly matters when I'm looking at Twitter, The Guardian, Neogaf, or other bastions of liberal fuckery and seeing all sorts of support for the violence and plenty of "just look the other way when it happens" rhetoric.
Also an issue is the university giving no shits about it so long as it doesn't hurt their bottom line.
It just shows that the time for debate is over and the skull cracking needs to begin.
See that's sort of the problem. It's not really lefties fault for wanting to silence misinformation. Really it's the right wings fault for believing so fervently in misinformation that their stances can be called political, as well as going out of their way to avoid educating themselves in an era where education is a Google search away.
What's sad is now you have two sides of an argument telling each other what they are saying is lies, because alternative facts have become equivalent to actual fact.
There are no worse scum in this world than fascists, rebels and political hypocrites.
Donald Trump is only like Hitler because of the fact he's losing this war on all fronts.
Apparently condemning a fascist ideology is the same as being fascist. And who the fuck are you to say I can't be fascist against fascist ideologies?
If merit was the only dividing factor in the human race, then everyone on Earth would be pretty damn equal.

The people taking to protest and some taking to vadalism are not the same.
If I organized a protest of individuals for what we thought was worthwhile, and another group of individuals used the opportunity to do otherwise, that is not necessarily the cause of my protest. Nor would I and my company have control over such.
You can try to bun down my house but that would just make you a criminal. But if you wanted to protest on front step against facism, I welcome such.
