A sign that says "The right to openly discuss ideas must be defended" brings out the absolute worst in people.

"They" want a conversation, at least that is what they tell us. Complete BS.
Noted. Andy seems to be making bland statements implying he's against cancel culture without actually coming out strong against it. Was his name on the Harper's Letter? I didn't see it. Maybe i missed it.
It's your party, Andrew.
I am surprised Sullivan didn't sign the Harper's letter.
Today's blog post? Shunning heretics is in. Free speech, open debate, tolerance for other views is out. https://bit.ly/32b3yam
A neutral sign turns these so-called anti-Nazis into a seething rage filled obnoxious speech stomping brown-shirted pile of....
nazis
Like we, the enlightened classic liberals, didn't know all along it was all about canceling freedom of speech.
This seems to be a variation on the "hood prank" video, where you pull some stupid shit on a ghetto B and then make a video of him huffing and puffing about what a dangerous motherfucker he is. People who are easily incited are funny, if they don't actually hurt you.
When do Nazis discover that they are the Nazis?
Freaky scary.

As far as I know, Sullivan may not have been asked to sign the Harper letter.

"The spirit of wokeness." Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The brilliant "rebuttal" of his position: "Go away Nazi scum."
You know he's a Nazi because if any group defended freedom of speech, it was the National Socialists and their libertarian leader, Adolf Hitler. Inga Logic at its best.
Ingsoc 2-minutes of hate. Remember, not a cautionary tale, but a how-to-manual.
The first 21st century trans-witch?
If Trump doesn't win 40 states and the popular vote, our republic deserves to go down in flames.
The Second ensures the First.
For God's sake, why does this surprise anyone?
Both the Marxists and the post-Marxists never had any truck with "free speech", with they either called a "bourgeois value" or a "hegemonic discourse".
These people are not "nice". They are not "misunderstood", they are not "oppressed". These people will put us into gulags & kill us by the millions the first chance they get. Keep your powder dry!
According to Howard, the mob pushing this guy around are as courageous as the troops that hit the beach at Normandy.
According to Inga, the physical assault is Steve Bannons fault.
Say what you will about the Nazis, but they really knew how to "cancel" dissent.
National Socialists and their libertarian leader, Adolf Hitler
Social justice, diversity, redistributive change, Selective-Jew, and Cecile clinics, too. Far-right (or alt-right) in the left-right, totalitarian-anarchist nexus is leftist.
It's your party, Andrew
It's my party... and I'll cry if I want to
This what a proactive anti-intellectualization looks like. I guess.

...and how much $ does HE want to have a discussion?
The Tree of Wokeness will be watered by the cancelled lives of Dissenters
Trump should form the "Z-Party"
...and all the others will be the 'Not Z' Party
This is how you get a LOT more Trump.
It's a small, innocuous sign held up in an inconspicuous corner by a mild looking man. What gets me is that these are the people who claim you don't need police You just need women like her to de-escalate charged situations.....No one in the crowd told this woman to calm down. This includes the bobbies that were in the crowd. Some of this was assault....I admire the guy's courage and forbearance. That was the only admirable thing on display. There won't always be an England.
This video is three years old -- from May 2017.
That doesn't make it irrelevant. To the contrary, it's important to realize that we've been building up to this for a long time. But it shouldn't be taken as a sign that the COVID-19/BLM insanity has made things significantly worse (even if it has).
A little context might help. What ideas did he want to discuss? Were the demonstrators wrong to assume that he held abhorrent views?
(This may get me cancelled but I think it's sexy when Black women speak with a British accent.)
The behavior on display makes more sense when you realize politics is a secular religion. Really internalize that - it will make your head hurt slightly less.
In religion there are generally two sides to everything - very little gray nuance. Saved vs. unsaved, chosen vs. infidel, heaven vs. hell, good vs. evil. You simply choose a side, turn off your brain, and react as trained and how your faith dictates you should. In this context, everyone is acting "logically".
Time to watch Showtime's "The Tudors" again; similar story with better looking people and amazing costumes.
Trump should invite him to the White House.
A humble man, with a very humble sign.
And they just couldn't stand to leave him be.
These people are sick!
Only 75 years since WWII. Moseley would be so proud.

Brilliant!
The time for discussions with the commies is over.
#AbortTheLeft #AbortTheMSM
Buy guns and ammo.
Prepare
I need Lefty Mike and Lefty Mark to explain the missing context in this video.
"I need Lefty Mike and Lefty Mark to explain the missing context in this video."
We have a Lefty Mike now?
After watching the video, there's not much that can be added. It speaks for itself.
It is a short trip from here to 1930's Germany.
Self awareness is not a strength of socialists.
23 million Russians, 50 million Chinese and 1.3 million Cambodians were unavailable for comment.
I've met a lot of dumb people in my life, but every day lately I see someone dumber than them all. How do you even get dumb enough to call that man a Nazi and his sign "white supremacy". We need a new word for people this stupid. It looks like brain damage.
People suck, especially the people attacking the man.
Kudos to that fellow for maintaining his composure. Apparently the police agree and side with the attackers.
Libs being fascist terrorists, nothing new about that. Been going on for years. They haven't tried to hide it for a very long time.
It would be interesting to know who the lone man is and what has become of him in the last three years.
It didn't "bring out the worst in people" I brought out the worst people. These people cannot have any redeeming qualities that would balance out this behavior.
I don't see any problem with defunding THOSE police.
"Were the demonstrators wrong to assume"
I don't think I've ever felt compelled to say this before, but my God, Steve Uhr, you are a vile excuse for a human being.
"We need a new word for people this stupid."
Pity "democrat" is already taken.
@Darkisland
merci beaucoup! Have a great weekend!
I predict that the left cannot survive we’re free speech is allowed.
So, answering my own question, the lone man with the sign is identified as DC Miller. He was responding to a controversy over an art gallery named LD50, accused of being some sort of alt-right / NAZI front in 2017. DC Miller wrote a piece about the controversy on Medium.com.
The Medium piece also references a website for DC Miller to raise money for a defamation case he is pursuing.
"We need a new word for people this stupid."
Deported.
Exiled.

Of course they have reasons why your particular speech is problematic and must not be expressed and heard.
Bob: Thanks for the read. These people really are insane. Now I have an idea where the expression "hackneyed" comes from.

Read the fucking sign. Dopey looking white guy holding a sign. What more context do you need?
Yeah. They were wrong.
Anything else you need answers for?
Those who would use force to suppress the PEACEFUL execution of the "free speech" rights which should be protected by our constitutions must be forcefully reminded that the "right to keep and bear arms" allows for the ultimate defense of other rights.
LOL at GingerBeer. Yeah, details of the story from the "Hackney Gazette" is a real irony.
heh. De-fund the WOKE.
This looks like the start of a mob scene in a horror movie.
Matt Sablan: "This looks like the start of a mob scene in a horror movie."
Actually, this looks like the start of every single lefty mob confronting any idea they don't like, throughout history and across the globe.
But only every single time.

"steve uhr" - do you just type for the sake of throwing something out there or is your brain still capable of logical thought? The comment I had to LOL at "...that he held abhorrent views...". Isn't that what his sign is all about freedom of speech? Or are you willing to delegate regulation of speech to some supranational organization like those dick-less Silicon Valley bums Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. Over 70 years ago “1984” a novel covering 'Loyalty to Big Brother is demanded' was published. In the novel the three Party slogans promoted by the Ministry of Truth were: “WAR IS PEACE,” “FREEDOM IS SLAVERY,” and “IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.”
The novel depicted a frightening future of forced conformity and intolerance and brutal punishment for those who would not obey. But even Orwell’s vision was not as crazy as today’s Democrat Party backing the frauds - BLM and ANTIFA movements. The picture of this man and his sign is being played out by thousands (maybe millions - H.K. for example) all over the World. What will you give "Steve Uhr" when they come for you and your family. My friend, they will come for you, don't ever doubt that fact. Read Robespierre in the French Revolution - great example.
