You know, you are so obviously blind to any violent ones on the left or those calling for that violence, it's sickening.
As many other fellow posters, I too face that dilemma as to whether fully allow KKK members, WS and neo-Nazis to openly spew their hatred or opt to stop their Constitution-allowed speech.
It is a tough conundrum. The problem rests with how that hate speech manages to recruit gullible and somewhat ignorant young people to join in that hate-filled ideology.
The best comparison I can make is whether we would opt to STOP radical Muslims to recruit disenfranchised young people to become terrorists for a dubious cause....After all, we sometime monitor what may go on in a Mosque to intervene if that environment is spewing hate filled and violent behaviors......
We all must make a choice regarding our love of free expression, and our desire to be safe from the spreading of more hatred.
No problem with:
What do we want?
Dead cops!
When do we want it??
Now!
Fuck you!
This fails as a false comparison fallacy.
The issue is not the advocacy of violence, the issue is the advocacy of hate, bigotry, and racism – the sole purview of the right.
Unlike most on the right, ‘the left’ doesn’t seek to disadvantage gay Americans, transgender Americans, women, and Muslims.
And unlike neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and others on the extreme right, ‘the left’ doesn’t practice the hateful bigotry and racism hostile to religious, ethnic, and racial minorities.
Moreover, no one on ‘the left’ condones the violence committed by any faction, which is not the case with neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and others on the extreme right, who condone acts of violence against Muslims, Hispanics, and African-Americans.
Consequently Trump, his apologists, and most others on the right are in fact wrong – it is not ‘both sides.’
