Aren't the Left so tolerant?

We ban euthanasia/assisted suicide...

Does it matter? They were protesting him, and you know as well as I do that wherever he goes, he spreads his anger.

They weren't protesting, they were vandalising and assaulting people. That is on them.

I also disagree with how far PC has gone. But a) that doesn't mean I go cry about it like Milo and his goons do, and b) it certainly doesn't mean that the very other extreme to over the top PC is the solution. Not to mention if you look at the motives behind each, at least PC is based on an (if more and more misguided) idea of being "nice", whereas Milo and the so-called "free speech" advocates think it is their "right" to go around insulting whomever they want just because. If you had the option of a totalitarian regime that follows Milo and one that follows PC, which one would you choose? Which one would be a more pleasant world to live in?

Milo is an *******. How can anyone wonder why people hate him?

The vast majority of Berkely students that protested had long gone before the black bloc arrived to cause mayhem. I would call this group a terrorist organization. At best they are anarchists. At any rate, they have nothing to do with the absolute vast majority of reasoned Berkely students that are appalled by what Milo represents and protested peacefully against him.

What does Milo represent?

You are ignorant if you don't see there is a clear difference between deliberate hate speech, and freedom of speech...
I am naturally for free speech, but there should be a limit! Using speech to get a reaction or incite hatred is a violation of a human right

And for that Milo guy, I laugh at people like him...sad people who crave attention a bit like Katie Hopkins by using controversial rhetoric to push their own prejudice and shunned agendas.

And to say the left is regressing because of this is absurd, would you have made this post if a bunch of neo-nazis protested against something like black history month...no

Milo and his ilk are anti-totalitarian. Being able to say what you want is inherently anti-totalitarian. I absurdity of comparing people like him (a gay Jew who believes in absolute freedom of speech) with the nazis whilst you go around assaulting people is hilarious.

I don't really care about Milo, I don't find his shtick interesting. The funny part is you are driving these moderates to the far right. If you call everyone to the right of Jeb Bush a nazi and say it's okay to assualt nazis, eventually those people are going to be perfectly happy with the police cracking your skull with a batton or a bullet.

/pol/ is largely far right website yet by the looks of it's members that showed up to the HWNDU livestream it's also very diverse. You have non-white conservatives allying themselves with (in some cases) literal Nazis simply because of how much people absolutely despise the left right now.

If you can not say something then free speech does not exist.

When was the last time the alt-right got together and started rioting in the streets?

Do you think people should be banned from trying gay conversion therapy if they want to try it?

It does not exist.

And you are a hypocrite for thinking it does. You are against free speech of Muslim (hate) preachers, are you not?

At any rate, they have nothing to do with the absolute vast majority of reasoned Berkely students that are appalled by what Milo represents and protested peacefully against him.

For one I did not call him a Nazi. Though given how some of his disgusting views are paralleled by the Nazis, I can see the comparison. The Nazis just had totalitarianism as one aspect, as well, remember that.

Most people who are opposed to Milo do not go around assaulting people. Stop generalizing.

No they can say what they want.

When instead of ideas it turns into the action of recruiting terrorists that is wrong, not the words but the action.

If you can not say something then free speech does not exist.

Which of his veiws are paralleled by the nazis? He's literally a gay coke snorting Jew that has sex with black men. You average muslim is about 100000000000000000x closer to a nazi then Milo. Hell, your average muslim is closer to the nazis then white nationalists like Richard Spencer are. In fact by the standards of the western left, the vast majority of the world are extreme radical neo-nazis.

That's a pretty weak argument to be honest. There's a lot of things that individual people might want to try (illegal drugs, euthanasia) that we don't allow if the potential negatives to society outweigh the positives. And let's not pretend gay conversion therapy is a legitimate medical technique. There is no evidence base whatsoever showing it works, and it has been abundantly proven that sexuality is set in stone very early on in the development cycle. (Not even getting into the damage to the individual in pretending being homosexual is a disorder and the root of any underlying mental condition).

I don't agree with the outcry against Milo's speech in Berkeley. But that doesn't escape the fact that it's pretty ridiculous for the right to berate the entire left for being 'intolerant' given the actions of a very few, especially given their hypocritically intolerant views on the issues I mentioned.

However, on the note of the 'alt-right' being tolerant, here's a video of Richard Spencer, known alt-right advocate, celebrating Trump's victory in Washington in a speech espousing White Supremacy and actual Nazi salutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o6-bi3jlxk

(Not saying all Trump supporters are racist or anything, just pointing out the stupidity of the right for criticising the intolerance of the left based on the actions of very few, whilst being supported by many alt-right groups who could very easily be criticised in the same way)

Hate and anger. He is a little angry child that wants attention and has found a niche for it.
