And taking that roadshow into the belly of the beast to see if they flip their ****.

He exposes the campus lefties as intolerant anti-free-speech nutso's, and simultaneously builds a personal brand and makes bank from his tour and future book-sales.

And Antifa has just propelled him out of the campus/twitter-sphere and into the mainstream. NYT bestseller list, here he comes.

Antifa are going to have a remarkably bourgeois experience this December, when they receive a Christmas card from Milo's publisher.
The left really hates to be laughed at.

Lol

Your side has made an industry out of offending people on the right, now you're getting it back and I don't think you realize how much worse its going to get. Trump isn't president to unite people. He's here to defeat your side.

I suppose you'll celebrate intolerance wherever you can when you have zero political power. It's not going to help your cause though.

I once had a speaking engagement cancelled because of the goddamned Illinois Nazis.

I'll explain that.

Add someone who does not support these types of actions in any form I know those that do tend to not care about beginning fair to the other side (no worse than right wing extremists in my opinion) ,so we are trying to show them that they are not kicking the other side in the nuts but shooting our side in the foot.

I'm all in favor of freedom of speech but there is something wrong when money and power overwhelms minority opinions. Trump's brownshirts are trying to limit opposition of their racist ideology and are upset that groups without power are doing everything they can not to be destroyed. Many of these people are fighting because their very survival is at stake.

Yes they have, but at the same time the left is being rejuvenated at the same time. Even more so.

I'm not on the left side, apparently, as that would seem to require tolerating jerks. If my political beliefs were put into effect there would be no Trump, as he would have been executed long ago for his shady business doings.

I am pretty sure that the "protesters" at UC Berkley were not Trump supporters at all....

And money and power had nothing to do with it....

So, your comfort zone is riots and arson but not shooting? What if someone takes it to that next level and then in answer to your complaints (or those of your next of kin) says "too bad".

Ditch the violence and the justifications for violence.

No, but behaving like the Morons in Berkeley did is just helping Trump.

Well, mine is logically consistent. That will naturally be incompatible with a value system which is logically inconsistent.

I didn't say I was opposed to violence. I was merely pointing out that what occurred at Berkeley wasn't a 'shooting' civil war. You seem to be unable to distinguish between levels of action, equating a broken window with full-scale war. There are many levels between those two things, and they are each appropriate in different circumstances.

And I will certainly not 'ditch' violence just because you order me to. If I'm attacked I will defend myself. If someone invades I will fight back. Some wars are justified. Nonviolence is not the correct response in every circumstance.

I said it leads to it. If you are intolerant towards, say, blacks, you're not going to allow them to rent an appartment in your building, for instance. Where do they go then, if few people will let them rent? Does that not harm them?

Stop moving the goalposts. The post you responded to was about intolerance OF RACE. I even quoted it back to you.

Quote:

Ignoring the hubris of that statement, please state what is inconsistent in my value system. Bear in mind that two consistent systems can be at odds. That sounds like you're now playing a rhetorical game against the other "side", rather than having a discussion.

Quote:
Even if all those racists are doing is stripping majorities of their unearned "privileges?"
I will not allow you to change the definition of "racism" to play gotcha with me. I answered your question as written.
