again: i don't oppose the premise of using violence to shut down hate speech.
i'm just not convinced that milo yanananawhateverthefuck is threatening enough to justify that kind of response. i'd rather advocate just ignoring his stupid, ignorant ass.
but i don't oppose the tactic, in theory, for the reason. and, it is disingenuous to suggest that leftists would oppose the tactic, or are literalists about free speech.
rather, faux liberals should stop pretending they speak for anybody but themselves and take their reactionary appeals to maintain the status quo back to the republican party, where they belong.
