Charlie Kirk shot in Utah

Just an aside …
The first (and last) time I ever got tear gassed was ca 1965. It was a protest in Berkeley. There was no violence until it was initiated by Nixon’s thugs.
I know. I was there. I saw it.
If Swiz’s expects me to believe there was some different dynamic at work in this little recent Berkeley protest, he needs to provide evidence to that effect.
Right now the apparent fact is that it’s easy to provoke a group to violence by visiting violence upon them. It’s a time- honored and well proven tactic of Republican authoritarians.

Freedom is Slavery.

For the slavers, yes.

After the American civil war, who got reparations? After the Haitian Revolution, who got reparations? Governments are always defending someone's rights and freedoms, but seldom are they defending everyone's rights and freedoms, until or unless they are obliged to.

Why do you side with violent thugs?

Where by "violent thugs", you mean {snip irrelevant screed}

Why do you side with the violent thugs outside Berkeley? Why do you hate free speech?

I've not "sided with" anyone. {snip irrelevances}

So you are condemning the violent thugs who were attacking the TPUSA event and the police at Berkeley. Why was that so difficult for you?

No, I'm not. The part you snipped is where I explained that to adults not steeped in the Foxosphere, there are mental states other than sycophancy and rage. This is difficult for you to understand, not for me to understand. I am not confused.

Also, the part where you refused point blank to condemn the transatlantic slave trade or support its violent overthrow, which makes your position as a moral authority deeply questionable in my opinion.
