Freedom of Speech (did I miss something?)

[Archon_Wing]

The only 2 sides here are fascists and those that oppose fascism. Just because a group calls itself antifa doesn't mean everyone that is anti-fascist has to answer for them, as they do not hold a monopoly on opposing fascism. just as Athiests don't have anything in common besides the lack of believing in a God. In the end, these neo-fascists should be condemned even if not everyone opposing them was squeaky clean. So "alt-left" doesn't mean too much, as the range of people that oppose fascism can be quite huge and not all of them are delightful; the allegations of hypocrisy don't work, and Trump not outright condemning these White Nationalists is not analogous to "anti-fascists" not condemning Antifa or whatnot. OTOH it is funny we have the "both sides are the same" breeding extemenism somehow. Honestly, I have come to realize that's been a really bad thing to say on many issues as people really stop caring and think everything is the same when it often is. But then sometimes it isn't. I guess in an effort to not offend anyone, you offend everyone?

And I'm not entirely opposed to violence either-- certainly if one of these neo-fascists decides to heckle people then they do deserve what's coming to them should others defend themselves, or..... others defending those that can't. If say FIT were to get in a fight with a Neo-fascist (purely hypothetical!), I would most likely take his side in most scenarios. But when you see stuff like Antifa coming to an abandoned rally and bascially look for a fight, that's just a bit hard to sympathize with. I mean in previous riots they broke people's stuff that had nothing to do with the target of their scorn.
