"Alt-left" Parading Ignorance, Stupidity, Malice, Etc.

...from the looks of them, that's not a pretty sight.

There's somebody for everybody, as my Granpa used to say when he snuck into our bedroom late at night.

It just seems like such narcissism. It's as if our country has just descended into a realm of narcissism and fashion. What do I "identify" as today? Let me navel-gaze until I decide whether I "feel" like boy, or girl, or something in between. Let me make my narcissism and navel-gazing everyone else's problem, and let me try to require everyone else to accommodate my feelings.

I want to be a 6 year old girl, even though I'm a 52 year old man, so that means YOU have call me "little girl" and "she" or you're harassing me and depriving me of my humanity.

Violence by far-left protesters in Berkeley sparks alarm

Thousands of demonstrators carrying signs with slogans like “Stand Against Hate” descended on Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Park on Sunday for what many hoped would be a peaceful march against bigotry and President Trump.

But it was soon punctuated by tear gas and a scattering of violent skirmishes. Some anti-fascist protesters, wearing black and with their faces covered, chased or beat Trump supporters and organizers who had scheduled and then canceled the “anti-Marxist” rally, citing concerns over safety.

Police, and in some cases other counter-protesters, stepped in to halt the violence or escort the victims away from the area. Officers reported 14 arrests, many of them for violations of the city’s emergency rules banning masks, sticks and potential weapons inside the demonstration area.

The clashes came despite widespread calls from activists and elected officials across the Bay Area for peaceful civil disobedience and underscore Berkeley’s growing reputation for violent reaction by the far left. Other protests earlier this year in the city turned ugly, with far-left and far-right forces fighting in the streets.

Some in Berkeley worried that Sunday’s chaos, captured on video and quickly disseminated through social media, would provide unwanted ammunition to Trump and his supporters.

...

Before the day had ended, Benitez wrote on Twitter that anti-fascists should be designated as “terrorists.”

“If the federal government doesn’t move to expose these terrorists the patriots of this country need to prepare for war,” he tweeted.

I suppose Ani ought to ignore Shermer now as well as me.

How much of my respect someone earns for their political views is based largely on how they treat their opponents.

If the question 'who do you respect on the other side' causes you to fling insults and vitriol, I guess that is what you deserve.

Firstly, no faculty has condemned the two profs. Secondly, the 54 alumni and five law professors have not condemned the values listed by Shermer. Thirdly, though carefully couched in terms of "cultural orientation" and "cultural norms", Wax's mask slipped in an interview when she clearly described Anglo-Protestant cultural norms as superior.

"I don't shrink from the word, 'superior,'" she said, adding, “Everyone wants to come to the countries that exemplify” these values. “Everyone wants to go to countries ruled by white Europeans.”

. Fourthly, Wax and Alexander's view of the fifties as a wholesome, harmonious Arcadia is rendered hopelessly inaccurate by what their pink lenses filter out.

While the values they list are commendable per se, the 1950s Anglo-Protestant middle class America is not, but that is precisely what Wax and Alexander are pining to return to. It's an era of utter sexism, racism and enforced conformism with bonus witch hunts thrown in made to look like episodes of Father Knows Best, Dennis the Menace and Bewitched.

You're right. These Antifa are more like the Sturmabteilung than Nazis proper.

Antifa are a defensive force. They are defending people from oppression. The Nazis are an oppressive force and want to destroy civil rights. To equate them is puerile.

They are quite on the offense, I suppose you aren't following the news or are selecting against such stories for whatever reason. As far as the destruction of civil rights goes, the Antifa wish to deny the universality of civil rights because they find the Nazis offensive. Not that they shouldn't find them offensive, but they should raise their voices in non-violent action counter to the Nazi voice, not attempt to beat them into silence ('defending' the rallies of the real Nazis by beating the other side is what the brownshirts did btw).

As far as actually defending people against violent action, that's the job of the police.

[JimC]

If the antifa purely stood between non-violent protestors and the Nazi thugs who have certainly been known to attack such protestors, and if they only defended themselves and others with reasonable force, then fair enough. In fact, in some cases, they do just that.

However, it's also clear that at least sometimes, they initiate the violence against right wing marchers with clubs and whatever else comes to hand, and are most probably the same people who like trashing public property when on anti-globalisation marches.

I'm not equating them with Nazis, they haven't got the same evil ideological base, but they have too great a propensity for violence at times. As I've said previously, when viewing the violent clashes between the alt-right and antifa, many people will not search for ideological subtleties, but will simply say a pox on both your houses...

You do realise that there can be no links to shit that did not happen, don't you, such as faculty condemning two professors, or others attacking motherhood type values per se as bigotry and racism.

You'll find the bit of Wax's racism, disguised as "cultural norm" that I quoted here. The letter from the alumni is published in full here and the piece by the five law professors here.
