I'm gonna take a wild stab here and guess that free speech in this context is more about freedom from consequence.
Actual blue mod response on doing what they volunteered to do. No wonder this place is infested.Originally Posted by Venara
Sounds like the free speech rally disbanded cause almost no one showed up. Alt-right barely showed if at all. (One guy in a white genocide Tshirt and a bunch of Trump hats but that's it)
Being escorted by police even back to where ever they parked
So just have 10k+ counter protesters at this point

There were some people in the gazebo at Boston Commons, just American flags from what I'm seeing on vids
Quite a bit of distance between the counter protesters and the gazebo too. Cops have much better control (but then again I don't think the free speech guys are armed either)
Nice the blm and the counter protestors are turning on the police trying to keep it calm.
Antifa attacking the police even though the NFSM group left Boston, they never started the rally and there are riots
Just watched some group fucking with the cops that are trying to keep the peace. Dude tried punching a cop then got knocked with the batons a few times before getting arrested. This was on the counter-protestor side, the group in the streets. The original group at Boston Commons seems much more peaceful at the moment.
Only a great fool would vote for a lunatic. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the candidate on the Right.
But they must have known I was not a great fool, and would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the corrupt candidate on the Left.
That was actually my thought when opening this link. As far as I'm aware, this seems to be a conservative rally. At least that's how it's being called here, but I'm in Canada so I take this with a grain of salt.
We'll see, escalation is sure to happen, the real question being "who was first".
But I have hope that nobody will use a car today since it seems to be genuinely more neutral in nature than last week.

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)..
