The problem with chumping civil liberties for one odious group of people is that it makes it much easier to chump them for a group of not-so odious people. We saw this during the USSR.

That doesn't mean that Nazi marches are okay but we should treat them as they are - domestic terrorism (poo poo even Jeff Sessions declared it domestic terrorism) and prosecute them under that label, not say "hahahah you know that free speech thing? it's actually not that cool and I'm going to take it away because if I do that I can guarantee it'll never be used to oppress other groups that actually have something valuable to say."

Yeah rights don't function if they're not enforced, and they're not enforced if enough people don't give a poo poo. Making sacrifices to the right of free speech by standing up for nazis isn't going to make that right super powerful so it will be enforced all the time. It still won't be enforced in all the other situations that nobody knows about or gives a poo poo about.

what if we had some kind of law, and we enforced accountability of that law, applied to all people? like maybe a "list" of rights and civil liberties. then we could have groups that specifically ensured those rights were accessible by everyone?

You know that it's possible to be a leftist who supports free speech rights correct? You're not a spineless liberal simply for not wanting the same government currently considering punishing BDS with huge bipartisan support to also start regulating speech.

Also, what exactly do you want done about the first amendment? You can't just wish it out of existence. Like that German law you pointed to earlier, I don't think laws like that are some terrible 1984 dystopia but you literally *can't* do that here, it would be struck down 9-0 by the SCOTUS.

Democrats lost the White House to a reality gameshow rapist over the course of the past decade by compromising before they even sat down at the negotiating table. But okay, let's set our constraints to what's achievable based on the Supreme Court whose most left wing member called an NFL player peacefully protesting the senseless police murder of innocent black people "stupid and selfish."

Actually, you saw it during Ferguson when the militarized police were tear gassing peaceful protesters. You can throw out empty platitudes all you want but it doesn't deny the fact that the state-sanctioned violence is racially targeted against peaceful protesters, especially those who do not seek to be senselessly murdered by the police on-demand. We are not starting from a net-zero state of pure liberty here, we are starting from a net-negative state of white supremacist state-scanctioned violence and hate speech for white people, and violently oppressed speech by people of color. Antifa violently opposing and suppressing Nazi organizing is a positive step in undoing this continued injustice.

You misunderstand. My argument is that free speech is an imperfect thing and is enforced imperfectly, not that it "sucks."

the ACLU has historically stood up for free speech absolutism, regardless of who's doing it. at this point, it would be good if they picked their battles wisely and put the neo-nazis and white supremacists way down on their list, if they put them there at all. the fact that they were blatantly the criminals in this situation and not the left-wing protesters makes this a much easier thing to do

the rationale is that this is ok because white males are not an oppressed group and it's only fair to "punch up." it's based on a perverse kind of social justice that aims to bring more privileged people down instead of lifting more oppressed people up

a good example: when dylann storm roof (the black church shooter) got burger king when he was in police custody, people get enraged because he got special treatment. true social justice isn't saying "he should face the same punishment as black people in custody," it's saying "everyone kept in custody deserves to be treated humanely"

No, but not every ISIS member shoots up a schoolbus either. Some make bombs and others shoot down helicopters. There are a variety of charges that can be laid at the doors of these people, every single person won't be covered by one single charge. Not unless you can get them all up on RICO which I doubt.

It's pretty clear that by Saturday it was no longer a protest, it was a riot with two mobs. That's not protected by free speech either.
