Young people of varying left-wing ideologies protest specifically toxic right-wing speakers, and yet conservatives like Peter feel very comfortable framing this as "the problem with liberals in general." Are these protesters violently rebelling against conservatives in general? or just the ones who hold specific views?

Within the culture of the university, it is absolutely a left-wing problem. Posters like New Era, a college instructor who condones violent protest against people he doesn't like, is my case in point.

I disagree with the blocking of the doors or the violence that eventually erupts, but people like yourself and peter VERY conveniently fall into the comfortable categorization of the problem being "liberals" or "the left" or whatever, and not of the much more direct issues of resorting to physical violence. This specifically is not an issue that is (in any way) exclusive of left-of-center ideologies, so it's categorization as a left-wing issue is disingenuous and deserving of the the laziest of rebuttals (which is why you find you're not "getting anywhere").

Great, so we agree that violence isn't an acceptable means to shut down unpopular speech.

It's just ridiculous and moronic is all, that liberals are generally categorized as violent protesters unable to form the lines of thought required to defend their position (according to Peter), but when conservatives get called out for being racist, they panic and vote for Trump or cry foul.

When did I do this?
