I've grown increasingly impatient of the false equivalence we see whenever left-wing progressives behaving badly in the streets through Antifa or on campus.
Robby Soave at Reason is the king of this sort of tactic going as far as to call conservatives who dare to defend themselves on campus as 'snowflakes'.
Apparently, the second there's push back that's considered totes the same as acting like progressives on campus. Go on youtube or live leak and look up 'progressives on campus' and weep.
Now try and find the same thing from conservatives - or libertarians.
Get the picture?
It's the same thing we see now with how the media portrays non-left wing groups like Proud Boys or Jordan Peterson or even The Tea Party.
None of these groups are racist or call for violence. There are plenty of examples of Antifa committed acts of vandalism, thuggery and attacking peaceful protestors. Black Lives Matter even has the death of five police officers on their record. The list of their indiscretions is long but doesn't get the attention it deserves in the media.
I especially enjoy the contempt for The Tea Party. What was it? 500 000 people who protested and picked up after themselves, chatting with police and holding their affairs in peace? Compare that to Occupy Wall Street and the mess they left behind.
But hey. 'Both sides' do it!
No, they don't.
One side does and you know who it is.
