Pacifism only works if the other side respects pacifism. Fascist thugs don't respect pacifism. Letting them speak their mind is only letting them getting their message out. You don't really seem to understand the mentality of these people. They will use democratic methods in service to their cause, but they're really laughing at the fools who allow them to do so because it's really just a form of subversion. They're really pissing all over it, because they plan to destroy it. I've said before that the only language they understand is violence and that's because fascism is a doctrine of violence. It worships violence and brutality. To defeat them, you can't debate with them, because it's not rational. It's not a reasonable stance.Perhaps I misspoke. By "support" I mean support for the right to demonstrate and speak their minds. I didn't mean to imply support for their views. However, one's unlikely to hold a valid opinion on an issue if unfamiliar with both sides, and what better venue for exploring opposing points of view than a college campus? As for physically fighting brownshirts or black bloc thugs on the street. You're trying to beat them at their own game. It's likely to look good for your side, no matter which side wins.
I'm not a pacifist and I don't believe in giving them the leeway to spread their bs. Especially as a minority who they would like to see die or at least violently oppress. They're a threat, a danger to people like me and all who value diversity. I want myself and people like myself to be safe and allowing fascists to spread their filth makes the places they're allowed to do so unsafe. It legitimizes them as if they're just another viewpoint in the democratic milieu. That's just foolishness. They want to destroy you and the classical liberal ethos you hold so dear. No one ever defeated fascists by being peaceful. History tells us that. You meet force with force.
The new breed of "alt-right" fascists know that the liberal mainstream has a quaint negative view of violence (the liberal mainstream doesn't have the tools to deal with such movements), so they're trying to make themselves look professional and mature, to an extent (the mask falls when you see their gathering grounds like that "the Right Stuff" site). They're playing on the tastes of people like you in order to present themselves in more superficially acceptable ways. That's why they rebrand themselves every so often. Instead of white supremacists, they called themselves "white nationalists". They even aligned themselves with black nationalists. But they still hate black people. Now they're "race realists", "folkish", "neo-reactionaries", etc. They stop wearing KKK robes and military outfits and put on suits. It's still the same crap. Fascism in a suit with a slick haircut is still fascism.
Oh, and screw Milo. I detest him. He needs to get a taste of what Nazi boy, Richard Spencer, got. I would lol so hard. Either way, if his buddies get into power, he'd learn what fascism really does to people like him (a gay queen with Jewish ancestry and a fetish for black men). Oh, he'll learn. He's just a self-hating buffoon with a perverted sexual fetish for that which wants to kill him (his fellow alt-rightists).
You can listen to Imagine with your head in the clouds, but this is my anthem (Heaven Shall Burn is a German far-left metal band):
Nothing, just nothing, nothing will wipe this heart out
And no one, just no one, no one will break this frontline
We are, we are, we are the violent ones
We are, we are the, we are the final resistance
We're fighting to the last
Driven by your hate
Evoked in us
No one will surrender
A storm will break the silence
This storm will break the silence
Nothing, just nothing, nothing will wipe this heart out
We are, we are the, we are the final resistance
This vengeance is justice
And justice will be done
Your end is our triumph
And the day will come
A reign of terror, an age of horror
Nothing will remain
A promise to the fallen
We'll make them feel your pain
A promise to the felons
You'll never rise again
We'll take it back
We'll take it all back
We'll take it back
We'll take it all back
This vengeance is justice
And justice will be done
Your end is our triumph
And the day will come
A promise to the fallen
We'll make them feel your pain
A promise to the felons
You'll never rise again
Nothing, just nothing, nothing will wipe this heart out
And no one, just no one, no one will break this frontline
We are, we are, we are the violent ones
We are, we are the, we are the final resistance
