DISAPPOINTING AMOUNT OF SYMPATHY FOR HATE GROUPS :(
Why are some people (in 2017) so quick to defend the rights of groups that have roots in violent rhetoric towards people who are different? The KKK never went away, its just taken different forms. Now instead of a lynch mob they are a legally valid entity with rights to assemble and spread their message of supremacy. The disappointing part is how many ardently defend them under the guise of free speech. Free speech shouldn't be a blanket term for all speech, we need to use context. Ask yourself, if we were in the civil rights era would you be supporting the rights of their predecessors?
The real terrorists are on the left, i.e ANTIFA and BLM and the leftists-Cultural Marxists in general.
If they were not burning down cities, attacking people at random, or shutting down differing opinions and calling everyone a "Nazi" or a "Racist", then KKK would be just a few hardcore fanatics with no influence whatsoever.
It is not the conservatives or the Alt-Right who are destroying art, trying to erase history, or hating people they do not agree with. People should look into the mirror first, and fix their own shortcomings instead of attacking their superiors.
Because otherwise we'd be just like them...
False equivalency
Care to elaborate?
KKK, Neo Nazis and far right nationalists aim to take away others rights due to their perceived superiority. They deserve to have their right to spread hate taken away because it literally causes danger to black people, women, latinos, immigrants, asian americans, the disabled, queer and trans folks and so on.
Ok. Get it. You and me won't agree ever. But that is alright. I will fight for your right to voice autrageous authoritarian views I consider to be dangerous, just the same. Because I respect your freedom. Farewell!
Antifa and BLM aim to take away others rights due to their perceived superiority too...
you are claiming that YOU have the right to enact violence upon people who offend you.
there is no victim until someone throws the first punch... and YOU are throwing the first punch
