    Maybe three times in thirty years. Which is about how long I've known how propaganda actually works.

    Which neo Nazi skinheads are also doing. The hilarious part is that all of you on the right are ignore that. You're just acting like it's the left.

    Useless.

    Quite honestly, ignoring them is the best thing to do. They feed off attention. They feed off publicity. If the media and the general populace ever really did ignore them, they'd go away. Giving them attention is giving them power.
    I agree, it is sickening how many people in this country who belong to the alt-left want to end freedom of speech as we know it.

    I've asked this question before and you alt-lefties never answer: What are people, who respect free speech, supposed to do when someone preaches reprehensible viewpoints?

    LOL. Oh, so it's different, got it. Even though at the last rally a Nazi ran his car into a crowd like an ISIS agent and killed a woman. Hypocrites. Literally disgusting hypocrites.

    Apparently the Scalise massacre didn't result in enough backlash to prevent the tragedy in Charlottesville. Trump by condemning political violence on both sides, seems to have brokered a cease fire. The 1st amendment is far greater value to Americans than either parties fringe groups. The political violence hasn't been one sided. There's your hypocrisy.

    I'm not an alt leftist so I can't answer your question. I also don't believe alt left or right exists it's a deflection from the horrors of the true far left and far right and the odious outcome of their ideology.

    Like I said... nobody on the left can answer my very simple question. Thank you for admitting it.

    What are people, who respect free speech, supposed to do when someone preaches reprehensible viewpoints?

    Isn't it interesting that he felt only a leftist could offer an answer a simple question? Like asking "what time is it" ... Can't say, I'm a libertarian?

    People on the right support free speech and have been able to answer the question. People on the left ignore it or admit they can't answer it.

    Actually, that question is very deep and merits serious thought.
    How much effort are you willing to devote to it?

    I'm not a leftist. Ask someone who is. You can claim this as an admission because you see this as some form of black and white world were everyone is in one box or the other but that sort of rigid, uninteresting thinking is of no use to me.

    Well, I don't think the op is interested in deep thought or else he would not be trying to score political points and shoeboxing people into ideologies simply because he disagrees with some **** some people say.

    Like I said. Uninteresting.

    Deep? It's either yes 100% ... yes, but with this caveat ... or NO. The SCOTUS has already decided what falls outside the boundaries of protected speech. Pretty straight forward. While your pondering what the definition of hate speech is, consider that nazis can also be victimized by hate speech. The content of the speech, not the ones targeted by it, is the key point.

    How much? Well, to break it down to units of measure you can relate to. Three polished turds worth.

    The fact that you can't answer the question proves you are a leftist liberal.

    The only people who think this is a "deep" question are those who do not respect free speech.

    I have an answer to the question. You asked for an answer from a specific type of person.

    The only answer is to listen, in my opinion. The problem with this country is that everyone does too ******ned much talking.

    But whatever. Go score your points elsewhere, worthless ideologue.
