A sad and disappointing number of leftists have decided that the violence, vandalism, and arson committed by “Anti-Fascist” protesters in Berkeley last night was justified because Milo Yiannopoulos is a “Nazi,” and anything… *anything* … done in the name of fighting “Nazism” is justified.
As Milo has never advocated genocide, political violence against opponents, or the control of all industrial assets by the state on behalf of German workers… he does not fit the commonly accepted definition of “Nazi.” But as I am reminded constantly, “literally” now means “figuratively;” “absolutely” is an acceptable affirmation; the Oxford comma is dead, and “Nazi” now means “someone a leftist hates on the basis of their ideas.”
It used to be that if you disagreed with the left, they called you a “racist.” Now, they call you a Nazi. Coincidentally, the decision to label all opponents as “Nazis” comes only a week after the left decided it’s “OK to Punch Nazis.”
By the way, no one was arrested for the violence at Berkeley last night. So, the violent leftists now know that they can act out with impunity.
Update: Left-Wing Columbia U. Professor (and Friend of Obama) Rashid Khalidi says that the Obama White House is “infested” with Joos. But it’s OK, he’s not a ‘Nazi,’ he’s a Mohammedan.
If that’s how they react to opposing ideas, what will they do to opposing football teams?
UC Berkeley has home games with Weber State, Ole Miss, USC, Washington State, Arizona, and Oregon State scheduled for this fall. Clearly, UC’s police department can’t be trusted to protect visiting teams.
It’s time for students and alumni (especially alumni) from those schools to demand a change of venue. If UC isn’t willing to move these games to place, it should be forced to forfeit.
I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

This “foolishness” and lack of academic focus is why Silicon Valley prefers H-1b Visa-hires. While the snowflakes are whining, hiding in their safe-spaces, and playing with puppies, the foreign students are working-hard back in the dorms and the labs on their studies.
Lol CrayCray, you’re trying to appeal to the freaking Young Turks for aid? Nobody pays them any attention nowadays, they’ve outed themselves as progressive shills months ago. Besides, a Youtube channel calling themselves the Young Turks is about about as reputable as a channel calling themselves the Hitler Youth, Young Pioneers, or Red Guard.
They’re supposed to be anti fascists yet they act like fascists. They call their opposition Nazis, yet they have a lot more in common with Nazis.
@ James: Yes, it’s really ironic that the people whose movement has the colors black, red, and white, and who smashed up storefronts over a gay Jew… say they aren’t fascists.
It’s hilarious that the Antifa scum think they’re the Rebel Alliance, when in reality they’re the First Order.
Most of what the Leftist Mellennials know about “Nazis” they learned from Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Boys from Brazil, and afternoon reruns of Hogan’s Heroes* and ‘Allo ‘Allo** on Cable.

@6 the Nazis and the communists are exactly the same. the only thing different about them was what they called themselves. in school we are always taught that communism and nazism are the opposite ends of the political spectrum. sure the government of Nazi Germany was the complete opposite of the government of communist Russia. the life of german citizens in relation to their government was the complete opposite of Russian citizens. these are just lies taught by communist teachers to cover up the fact that communism is just as evil as Nazism. Nazism is universally recognized as evil and these lies the communists tell are to cover up the fact that the communists were the Nazis ally. and if anyone tells you the communists fought the Nazis they have it backwards, the Nazis fought the communists.
Hard to believe that police could not corral 150 2%er anarchists/communists/national socialists and those that would aid and abet them. This explains the delay in the Senate to affirm Sen Jeff Sessions as US AG.
@10 Howard Dean is an idiot, but you already knew that.
@11 correction: confirm, not affirm
Brown Shirts beating up dissidents are “the future of America.” People who believe in individual freedom and personal responsibility are Nazis.
Rioters are citizens “exercising their right to assemble.” Arson and looting are “engagement.”
If a woman has consensual sex with some American guy who turns out to be a lousy lay, she’s a “rape victim.” If a gang of Muslims force a 14-year-old girl to have sex with them against her will, it’s her fault for not wearing a burqa. (If she wore a burqa, it’s still her fault, because they could see her eyes.)
If a guy pledges allegiance to ISIS and yells “Allah Akbar” while shooting unarmed victims in a designated gun-free zone, it’s the NRA’s fault. And Islam is a peaceful, tolerant religion that had “nothing whatsoever to do with it.” The killer was “taught to hate by a (Christian) preacher on a Sunday morning.”
If you have to shop around a little for a caterer or photographer, because some of them service same-sex weddings and some don’t, then your rights are being violated. But if gay people are being executed in Iran, you have no right to criticize the executioners’ peaceful, tolerant culture.
And war is peace, slavery is freedom, and ignorance is strength.

London’s moslem mayor says that terrorism is part of big city life, yet Tokyo is the biggest city in the world with no terror or moslems. Anywhere with moslems terrorism is just something that happens, accepted as part of ones day.
The recent airport bombing in a moslem nation had a youtube/periscope come out about it were they didn’t even have the airport blocked off at all, it was just part of life.
