No, see that's now hot it works. When you make excuses for someone, that makes you an apologist for them. In this case, you claim "The Left" is to blame for the violence of these shitstains, which makes you a Nazi apologist.
And I'm not a "liberal", they are right-wingers compared to me.
He's an employee of a company who was at a white supremacist rally. That company rightfully doesn't want to be associated with white supremacists. Nazis deserve to be discriminated against in every legal way. Not hiring them, and not retaining their employment, is a legal way. There is a literal fundamental difference between ideologies that are based on intolerance/ethnic cleansing and those that aren't. It's okay to not tolerate ideologies that are based upon intolerance/ethnic cleansing. Intolerance itself isn't wrong. It's what you're being intolerant towards. You're literally defending people who support ethnic cleansing.
I'll admit that I've been involved in helping groups in UVA find and report these people.
You have the right to peaceful assembly under our First Amendment. You're not allowed the right to violent assembly nor are you shielded from public backlash for your views. You're only protected from the government.
As a Virginian who saw the mess first hand and got the hell out before the keg exploded, these assholes shit on their First Amendment rights. They had no intention of peaceful protest and tried to stir trouble from the moment they arrived. It wasn't Antifa or BLM there antagonizing them. If anything, Antifa and BLM were acting as pseudo peacekeepers this time, were kept away from the main rally by police officers just to avoid issues, had extremely small numbers, and spent most of their time getting these lunatics to leave bystanders alone or were getting into fist fights with them outside of businesses for the antics they were pulling.
These protesters chose to show up in riot gear and military weapons. They chose to show up and march on UVA and attack UVA students and groups on campus ILLEGALLY. They chose to throw cups of piss on innocent minorities. They chose to attack and harass people and journalists for not joining their rallies. They chose to attack police and counter protesters when the city told them "enough is enough" and to get lost.
You know who was there counter protesting? Virginians. Every day Virginians from the local area and nearby towns banded together and were largely acting as peaceful protesters. Despite what Fox News and Breitbart want to spin it as, Antifa and BLM were a total non factor this time.
Things escalated to violence when the protesters began attacking people on a college campus, attacking people leaving businesses, harassing bystanders, etc. It then exploded later on when the city said enough was enough.
A-hah.
Is that so.
Riiiight...
Those are refuted every day. But since you obviously do not actually read them, here's a quick digest: The Socialism part of the Nazi party comes from the origins, in the NSDP. Post '34, the Nazi's went after any socialist they could get their hands on. You think jews were the only one gassed? Communists and socialists were there as well. Here, have a couple quotes from Hitler: "I absolutely insist on protecting private property ... we must encourage private initiative". "Our adopted term 'Socialist' has nothing to do with Marxist Socialism. Marxism is anti-property; true Socialism is not."
...Oooh, how socialist of him.
"I use my time defending Nazi's and claiming they were actually socialists, but really guys, it's okay, because I vote for the Left!"
Yeah. Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
It does. We still shouldn't ban views. Communists/marxists and Nazis are both the same kind of shit but I rarely hear anyone say we should ban the previous thoughts.
Or liberals with a capitalist mindset? If we listen to arabs the liberal capitalist agenda has killed far more in their regions than nazis killed jews.
Private entities can ban whatever the fuck they want. Your First Amendment right only protects your speech from the government.
The government can allow hate speech if they want to but if private businesses and citizens don't condone it, well tough shit. People on the right had no problem saying "well businesses and private people can do what they want!" when it came to arguing about being able to discriminate against LGBTs but suddenly it's so wrong when it's white people on the receiving end?
I'm more on the libertarian than authoritarian side of the horizontal axis, so you ar wrong as usual. Keep tilting at those windmills.
"Socialist" is a wide label. It barely overlaps what you refer to as "liberals".
The people in the article participated in a Nazi gathering where they rioted, threw cups of piss at the locals, and threatened to "burn down the place and gas them" at shops and restaurants that had mnon-whites inside. These are the people YOU defend.
No, I am not. But I see you also build strawmen out of shit.
Private citizens using the tools legally at their disposal.
Most companies already have policies about what you are and aren't allowed to do while hired and hate rallies are funny enough part of that. If they don't want their employer finding out they want to a hate rally, don't go to the fucking rally.
edit: It's in your fucking hiring paperwork and contract.
