    A lot could go wrong but the police have to stop Antifa, and all protesters who don't allow people to go about their daily business.

    It's well past time when people began speaking to their concerns rather than just marching with simple minded posters and not being able to articulate any issues they may have. But beliefs are the key here, and far more important to the left than knowledge. That's really why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 'future of the Democratic Party, refused to debate Ben Shapiro.

    Advocating for returning to segregation in the most sublime way possible? Look, if that's cool with you, then you're not gone find fault with the premise. But that reveals a lot about you personally. Again, if that's what you're cool with, then own it, Fred.

    Can you please refer to where he advocated a return to segregation?

    No, but they're not racists, right? I was simply pointing out that they have created their own media platform, so whining about being kicked off media platforms they don't own is being a bit snowflake-ish. They now can spout whatever they want behind a paywall. You gonna send them your money, Fred?

    It's subtle, Fred, but it's there and you know it. Look, these guys are smart enough not to shout it out loud.

    So you posted a link to nada.
    Oh it's those darned dog whistles again, huh? That's a common ailment among leftists.

    In fact the article was less about race and more about culture.

    You're not very observant.

    It is the so-called minorities, who are segregating from the rest of society.

    I posted a link to their new media platform. I never made the claim that it was anything but.

    Yeah, Fred, dog whistles exist, and I'm not a "leftist". Every politician who has ever held elected office understands this. And Gavin McInnes understands it as well.

    "So-called minorities" own a lot of the blame, to be sure. But, to pretend that there aren't white supremacists masquerading online as McInnes is, is just head-in-the-sand ignorance.

    Actually no site has freedom of speech and their are rules governing inappropriate conversation.

    LOL! What a bunch of clowns. It's pretty bad when a company that won't even ban Alex Jones bans these guys. But apparently they explicitly require violence to get "promoted".

    This is how Authoritarians oppress, by shutting down the ability of others to dissent.

    That's my take on them too, Antifa is really bad and since proud boys are fighting them and not covering their faces, they're great until I hear different.

    Gavin McInnes has multiple platforms on which he can spew forth his opinions. Not the least of which is his own brand new conservative platform. You special snowflakes seem to believe that the 1st amendment exists beyond the federal government. It doesn't.

    There are nuts everywhere and thumper is fueling the fire every day. No surprise.

    The KKK, Neo-Nazis, Duterte, Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Republicans must be thrilled.
