i'm bi, and i'm not an aryan either. my blood's really muddy.
i'd rather he be able to speak, so that they eventually can't make it so i can't speak.
y'all don't realize, it's naive. if you weaken the system so they can remove his rights, it can eventually lead to you losing yours. literally all of human history shows us not to trust those in power over us to have our best interest in mind forever. eventually, someone will come along and exploit us. the harder it is for them to do that, the better.
since the start of this nation, they've been able to speak their ideals freely and have done nothing but lose support ever since.
they will never gain a foothold, they won't ever control anyone again.
and yes, it has before in the past and it will again. you let them take it once, they will do it again. eventually it won't be "hitler was a cool dude" that's the only thing you can't say, it'll be "X political party sucks". eventually you won't be able to criticize dear leader. then you've got a north korea-style dictatorship, and their boots are on your neck. there's no hope of rising against it because you let them take your weaponry, no way to call for help because they control what you can and can't say.
it happens every time, all throughout history. you let them take things, they start to take advantage. it's the mark of a fool to not learn from the past.
A kid with propecia was attacked and beaten by antifa, a man and his son were beaten down by Antifa with "No Hate" shields because they thought they were Trump supporters. Multiple journalists and police officers have been beaten by Antifa and subsequently hospitalized.

Compilation of Antifa attacking people. The ones where they are mob kicking and stomping are probably the most disturbing.
I mean, that's just the first few I could find, but they were easy to find.
Then you have the fact that Antifa is violent globally, and historically.

"Of course, critics of violent anti-fascism are correct in arguing that violent actions can inspire a backlash that accelerates fascism."
You can see the increased support of Nazi's in Germany (1928-1932), and well as Fascists in England (1936) and Italy (1922) following Anti Fascist violence.
The same was true for Hitler. Mussolini had the support of 2% of the population in 1922, but was able to campaign as a strong leader who could end the communist anti fascist violence in Italy. In Germany the Nazi's had 3% of the national support in 1928, then won the election in 1932 after promising to stop the violence from Antifa and the communist anti fascist groups in Germany. The Fascist party in London gained more political favor after the Anti Fascist protest that lead to the Battle of Cable Street.
If history has taught us nothing it's that people respond negatively to violence, and using violence to further your cause will only push people to whatever organizations you oppose.
Battle of Cable Street

Anti Fascists injure and kidnap 175 cops. The stop a march but cause the British Union of Fascists (BUF) to grow by 50% within the next month. "Rather than smashing fascism, the battle turned out to be a recruitment tool for the BUF."
"Take the time to sit down and talk with your adversaries. You will learn something, and they will learn something from you. When two enemies are talking, they are not fighting. It's when the talking ceases that the ground becomes fertile for violence. So keep the conversation going."

Today your video taught me:
Anyone in a black shirt belongs to antifa, this was not discussed at our weekly meeting in antifa headquarters.

Citing an image as obnoxious doesn't discredit it in any way.
You're really not good at this are you?
