No, most people do NOT agree with that. Maybe most people in your circle of friends, but not most Americans at least.

The problem IS the loans. You loan 100k to an 18 year old who doesn't have the understanding of the long term ramification. The colleges love it because it is easy money for them. Little Johnny gets a degree in Women's Studies and doesn't understand that he has to pay the loan back, even though he has a job as a waiter. Some kids have it together, most have been so utterly coddled for so long, they've never had a job and simply can't comprehend the numbers they are dealing with.

The solution is to stop government funding of loans, which will lower the price of college (they will hate this), and MORE privately owned education choices, not fewer. Half the kids are getting degrees in crap that will not provide them a career in ANYTHING. The colleges don't care, they get paid regardless.

And trying to pretend that letting Milo Yiannopolis speak is just 'Gay Jewish Immigrant speak about the dangers of Islam' is fucking insane. He is the poster boy of the new Nazis. Well, not any more because he turned out to be totally and utterly morally bereft and a proponent of pedophilia, but don't say that out loud, you might not want your Nazi side to be associated with such people.

The gay Jew who won't stop talking about how much he loves the taste of black cock... is the poster boy of the new Nazis.

This is why we're not taking you guys seriously anymore.

Inaccurate and untrue speech is still protected by the First Amendment.

No, not in all cases. Yell fire in a crowded theatre or slander someone and you are not protected. Is this really news to you?

Uh, it's been known for *years* that the "fire in a crowded theater" thing is BS.

But banning Nazis... THAT crosses the line? THAT is unacceptable?

I don't want to live up in the world you're projecting with your fucked-up worldview.

Given how the Alt-Left has spent the past 8 months calling everyone to the right of Stalin any bad name they think can stick, including Nazi -- to the point that Bernie Sanders supporters are "Alt Right Nazis" now for embarrassing Hillary in the primary -- yes, I find "banning Nazis" to be crossing the line.

It was the Alt-Left that has diluted every political insult they have, to the point that they're literally meaningless. Now they want to decide who gets to keep their American Civil Rights based on what bad name they've been called by the mob?

No.

Facebook has kill Isreali groups, kill Republican groups, kill police groups. Has anyone actually killed Republicans or police because they were egged on by Facebook groups?

Well, there was that group of Alt-Left BLM members that livestreamed a racist kidnapping and torture of a special needs white man on Facebook.

And there are alt-left groups online that Micah Johnson were in that may have radicalized him enough to kill those 5 cops in Dallas.

But I don't know of a smoking gun as of yet, no.

But I do take issue with this:

Flying the Nazi flag at a march is "aiding and abetting" an actual enemy of the USA that millions of Americans died defeating.

No, it isn't. The original Nazis are nearly a century gone. Anyone flying the flag now is just a tryhard LARPer who is doing it to upset people. And it wasn't "Millions of Americans." The death toll in WW2 for the US was a little over 400k.

Well, there's a line of thinking now.

If Google, Cloudflare, et cetera are all going to abuse their positions of privilege, then why not oppose Net Neutrality and let the ISPs knife them to death?

This theory is called DAD -- Digitally Assured Destruction. Basically, people push back against Google's unilateral abuse of it's userbase by holding Net Neutrality over their heads like a club. If they don't start being good citizens of the net again, we let the ISPs loose.

Ironically, a cornerstone of the alt-left's ideology is that words they don't agree with are *violent.*

They use this term specifically so they feel justified in trying to murder people that disagree with them. They use this term so they can justify harassing, doxing, and oppressing people who disagree with them.

Because after all, those "White Lives Matter" guys and the tryhards pretending to be Nazis are being "violent" by existing, which means it's ok to try to murder them with homemade flamethrowers -- that's just self defense, right?

Pray the alt-right never get to the point where they agree, because if they do, this is going to escalate very, very quickly.

Allowing calls for violence is not a free and open world.

The few white nationalists at the march were marching alongside a handful (I heard there was only one) of Neo Nazis, and a much larger contingent of people who were simply opposed to the idea of tearing down statues because they offend PC obsessed millennials who have declared them unIslamic. Er, sorry, politically incorrect.

They were preaching nonviolence and they were nonviolent. Know how I know?

1. There was a march the night before -- where they had all those torches -- which was completely uneventful. The violence didn't start until the Alt-Left -- Antifa -- showed up the next day with metal bats and blocked their path, assaulting them when they came close.

2. There was an unnamed militia there with assault rifles. If the Alt-Right was violent, there would have been mass casualties on the Alt-Left side. There weren't.

3. What kind of retards would fight in court for the right to march then riot at their own march? That doesn't pass the smell test.

They've already kinda experienced this.

It turns out that most people don't buy the nonsense "Racism is power plus prejudice and white people have all the power, so only whites can be racist, and you can't be racist towards whites, just prejudiced, and that's ok because white people are responsible for all the evil in the world" crap that radical Alt-Leftists spout off regularly. Which means that anti-racism rules on say, Facebook, Twitter, etc have been hitting the most radical of the Alt-Left, which has been *pissing them off something fierce*.
