Quote of the Day
In a 2022 survey from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), 63% of liberal faculty said they can think of cases when it would be acceptable to shout down speakers, compared with 47% of moderates and 12% of conservatives. Nearly a third of liberal faculty (31%) believe that there are cases where blocking other students from attending a campus speech is acceptable, while just 16% of moderates and 5% of conservative faculty feel the same way.

Critical differences in protesting between liberals and conservatives. Here’s why
This is consistent with my assertion that “liberals” are inherently violent (see also here). The use of force to get their way is part of their nature.
This tells me that they know they cannot subject their ideas to a public debate and contact with reality.
Prepare appropriately.
And in the totality of the matter. One see’s that allowing them to limit free speech only gives them excuse to limit everything else they don’t like.
Is it brainwashing or hubris that makes them feel someone should not/could not do the same to them?
They prove once again that equality/equity cannot and never have existed. They were only tools to gain power over everyone else. They have become everything we said they would become. To date.
And only one place it can go from here. Let it never be said everyone was not warned.
Ol’Remus bares repeating;
“Middle class America is no less violent than any other people. They seem passive because they’re results oriented. They rise not out of blood frenzy but to solve the otherwise insoluble. Their methods of choice are good will, cooperation, forbearance, negotiation and finally, appeasement, roughly in that order. Only when these fail to end the abuse do they revert to blowback. And they do so irretrievably. Once the course is set and the outcome defined, doubt is put aside. The middle class is known, condemned actually, for carrying out violence with the efficiency of an industrial project where bloody destruction at any scale is not only in play, it’s a metric. Remorse is left for the next generation, they’ll have the leisure for it. We’d like to believe this is merely dark speculation. History says it isn’t.”

A good question is how well are they preparing?
I went back and found my last E-Mail with Remus 2/24/2020. His wife was quite sick and he did not last long after she passed.
If the militias and Antifa give any sign of their readiness I think they are in for a surprise if things go sideways. Sure hope they don’t. They keep having neglagnt discharges into them selfs and their partners in formation with them. That is not a good sign don’t get me wrong I am sure they have some capable groups and they will show up when least expected. Most of their current technics are layered swarms not very functional with firearms. Seems to work best with Molotov cocktails and hand to hand with nonviolent groups of old or young people. They do like to come from the rear.
They don’t want to just limit the free-speech of people they don’t agree with, they want them dead. They want it legal to murder you for exercising you’re free speech. They believe killing conservatives who make public speeches is acceptable to stop that speech. To them words are literally violence. And in their twisted minds you saying something that they disagree with is akin to physical assault with the intent to murder, they literally think you saying something they disagree with is the equivalent of you trying to literally murder them and therefore they are justified in killing you as a form of self-defense.
They hate you and want you dead. To the left that is universal. They hate everyone not them and want everyone not them dead. It’s not just gun owners.
I thought FIRE was the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
Either way, it’s instructive that so many “liberals” think it’s OK to limit speech and/or limit who can hear certain kinds of speech, up to and including physically blocking people trying to enter a building to attend a speech. It’s a bit concerning that the number of “conservatives” who think that’s OK is significantly more than zero.
Doubly so on a college or university campus, which is traditionally where people go to learn and experience multiple viewpoints, including — or perhaps especially — ones that differ from their own.
A student who doesn’t want to learn is just wasting his time and his parents’ or the government’s money, but a student who tries to stop others from learning should be expelled immediately, with a notation in the files warning other schools about them. Any college administrator or professor who doesn’t understand this does not understand the mission of the college and should be fired, with a notation in the files that they are utterly unfit for any role in higher or lower education.
Just another manifestation of the lefts number one mantra….Rules are for thee, NEVER for me.
