Alt Left Professor arrested on multiple felonies

[The Oblivion]

its almost like the far right, and left, are all a bunch of fuckin idiots crying and causing problems for normal people.

Why don't you actually quantify this and give some actual proof? You just giving examples doesn't prove there are more violent left extremists than right extremists.

His examples were so shit they kind of prove the non-existence of left-wing terrorism.

I mean...the weather underground...they went to extraordinary lengths to avoid killing people. That's not terrorism.

[Stacyrect]

Again not even close. With the alt-right, they called themselves that. Richard Spencer, the Neo-Nazi made the name. The Republicans and their voters embrace these people, even electing them to public office. Whereas with the fringe left, no one holds office and the right wing made up the name to try to show that there is hypocrisy on the left and that we embrace them. We don't, we shun them unlike right wingers like yourself. You will say you aren't right wing, but you sure aren't fucking independent like you claim with your defense of right wingers constantly.

Not really. Alt-right is a label leftist media slapped on all of us. Which is why alt-left is now used to broadly define progressives on the left. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander

There's one person in this conversation who kills people for money, and it isn't the Marxist.

95 million deaths seem to cast some shade on this suggestion

No, actually Richard Spencer came up with the alt-right. http://www.npr.org/2016/11/27/503520...bate-around-it

No one is using alt-left except for alt-right people like you as there is no alt-left. But yet, you have alt-right people in office that support someone like the neo-nazi Richard Spencer.

[Grimbold21]

Because it is a false equivalency. There exists no leftwing counterpart to the alt-right. So it would be a descriptor that makes no sense.

Same with regressive, actually, given that the people you'd want to deride as such, are actually progressive. Again, makes no sense.

Call them what they are: Anti-Fascists. Or heroes.

Your unwillingness to acknowledge their existance doesn't mean they don't.

[Mormolyce]

You literally just described Antifa.

Or you think that, because fascists accuse the "antifa" boogeyman of being fascists and you've been listening to alt right propaganda.

Congratulations! You are our one millionth uneducated American who thinks all enforced famines happened under socialist systems only.

Coincidentally proves the superiority of education systems in countries with socialized higher education.

The burden of proof is on you.

[Alexeht]

Something Alt-Right supporters who don't realise the Alt-Right is self named (By neonazis trying to make themselves sound more mainstream) put towards anyone slightly to the left of the Alt-Right movement.

Then alt-left (or leftists) is feminazi/communists coalition for destabilization of western culture.

take a look through his post history, you'll see that the reason he is denying it's existence is because he is one of them. Hell just look down at my signature.

[Grimbold21]

No it isn't. I didnt make an assertive claim. I posed a question as to why we should wait for these extremists on the left to call themselves anything, before we can do it as well.

Left wing extremism exists, communists, anarchy-communists etc... not the alt-left, its a meaningless buzzword if it does have a ideology to go along with it.

They already are part of an ideology group.

So much hate in this thread. Haters gonna hate I suppose.

I prefer the term ctrl-left myself

All of those groups fall under a group we can call progressives or we can call alt left or we can just say leftist groups. Alt left is the preferred term because people get upset when they get grouped in with the pedos, you can flip back to page 10 to catch those highlights

Or maybe it's because they are fascists

That statement by Hitler absolutely does represent left wing philosophy. So it's not really much of a gotcha.

He was also a vegetarian. So I suppose anyone who agrees with him on vegetarianism is a fascist too?

Oh yeah and the Nazis were also the first to ban smoking in public buildings like offices of government and hospitals. So if I'm opposed to smoking in hospitals I'm a Nazi too, I guess.

You should follow up on the end of that sentence

[derpkitteh]

i like this label for this brand of leftism. labeling it alt-left will give it the same negative vibe that alt-right has, and it deserves that considering how dangerous it is to the fabric of this country.

label and stigmatize it until they eventually back down.

and it's good he's getting in trouble, of course.
