kick up a vocal racket, petition, pursue every possible avenue to ban - but barricading doors is not okay...
Australia preferences prevention of hate speech over free speech - whereas USA free speech is sacrosanct... we've had Milo banned from entering Australia... etc... also men who teach "negging" and other pickup artist things that actually degrade/abuse women (to get sex- dates)... Greg Braden was recently refused a visa - Muslim clerics who advocate jihad.. televangelists/scientologists etc
I have a little experience with far left people/ideologies in this 2 decades - for a while lived with 'Young Socialists' members in Melbourne in a share house and they were asshats... very 'holier than thou'.... mightily pissed me off as being utterly as impossible to reason with and as domineering in pushing their views as the far right - however statistically they're far less prepared to use violence... a certain number will- and it's the worst PR (and actually does enormous damage to the left) - but I would take my chances with far left over far right any day as I was beaten badly by neo nazi skinheads as a teenager and they are sheer hate - whereas imo far left who are aggro have become hateful in desperate response to far right sheer hatred.
doesn't make it acceptable at all... but is the reason.
also - if you have a massive neo nazi thug bearing down on you- you can't hand them a flower!
that being said - I object to the "punch a Nazi" slogan... it's terrible - because violence increases hatred... (as in Nazi giving a press interview is hit in face full on with fist)... nope - don't do that. object in every other non violent way possible - but violence only to be used in self defence imo
it happens on both sides because violence is predominately toxic masculine behaviour
I've never got on with zealots of any belief.
