If what happened at UC Berkeley makes you uncomfortable, I invite you to be in that discomfort for a while.
If what happened at UC Berkeley gets you more riled up than the right wing Trump supporting Alt-Right Nazi terrorist in Quebec City who opened fire on a Mosque and killed six people, just a few days ago, I invite you to ask why that is.
We are living in a time when Steven Bannon, a white nationalist (read white supremacist), is one of the most powerful people on the planet, and is unleashing the full power of the Federal government to unleash a racist anti-working class agenda on the planet. And is doing so while he and Trump give a green light to vigilante right wing violence that hurts and kills people and terrorizes our communities.
It’s crucial to remember that no one looks back at Germany during the rise of the Nazis and says, “well at least they respected the Nazi’s freedom of speech”. They say, “Never Again”.
Again, is here.

By the way, I know people that believe differently than you aren’t people as far as you’re concerned, but it’s actually possible to be upset by both events.
Maybe he’ll tell us how much we should be upset about Trump’s immigration actions relative to the attacks in Paris last year that killed 130 people or the in Cologne Germany where 1,000 women were sexually assaulted. I just don’t remember all the protests springing up those years. Weird.

I didn’t remember them probably because they were small and didn’t garner much media attention. Anyway, there were a few thousand people protesting the “Muslim ban” around one airport in my city alone. So I guess we’re supposed to be about 100x more outraged about Trump’s action then what happened in Cologne. I guess it’s supposed to be good to put things in perspective.
Fuck you you goddamn fascist asshole! Fuck you for daring to consider yourself one of the good guys while you cheer women being maced and men being beaten with metal poles for voting differently than you. Fuck you for thinking you’re justified in lighting buildings on fire and calling it a “protest” If you’re so proud of your convictions take off the goddamned black mask and step into the light you authoritarian fuck! Antifas are nothing more than a bunch of whiny trust fund babies larping at being revolutionaries. By the way, thanks to dumbasses like you that fuck Milo’s… Read more »
