> I'm glad we're clear that your support for black civil rights doesn't go as far as supporting Martin Luther King. Where did you get this from? Black-bloc refers to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc . If anything, my support is exactly for folks like MLK (and even Malcolm X) as opposed to the domestic terrorism of other groups at the time. > And I'm also glad we're clear that you're prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to fascists. As I also gave the benefit of doubt to communists! > And that you think that a belief in fascism and white supremacy and a belief in Islam are appropriate things to compare. Do you not follow world events? There is indeed a subset of Muslims who believe that non-Muslims are infidels and are fit to be killed or taken advantage of, much as there is a subset of whites who believe that non-whites are fit to be killed or taken advantage of. And some extremists of those subsets apparently use cars to kill gatherings of people. It's a pretty apt comparison. > And there's a difference between defending freedom and hating it, but I think it's clear you already know that as well. Well, yeah--defending freedom usually requires us to deal with real facts critically and to be able to engage with our opponents directly instead of putting words in their mouths.
