Blame on both sides

Did your history lessons ignore Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot? They were considered "Left".
Many of the more extreme alt-left activists are only too happy to oppress anyone with a different opinion to themselves and incriminate reason often while hiding behind the moral high ground or using it to try and shut down differing views, etc. while trying to impose arbitrary restrictions or redefine what is normal in pursuit of "social justice" which just as much applies to your post.

Well, a lot of the "alt-left" are screaming for white genocide and that all white people should die, damn, even white people are saying this too. You not heard of that or seen it?
Hey, here is a example: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/21/johnny-eric-williams-trinity-college-professor-cal/ this is the first thing I found when googled, but I seen people both black and white saying that white people should die reposted from twitter and places. If you search for it the hashtags, you might find more.
But there was blame on both sides. It's widely acknowledged today that the crippling reparations imposed on Germany after WWI basically created Hitler, and the environment he needed to gain power.
Perhaps not so black and white as you say.
Quiet until the moment that it infringes upon you?
The current world power and the predecessor are currently almost entirely neutered because of the reaction (Trump/Brexit), how much more can this escalate into absurdity?
It's also very unsurprising that supposed centrist mascots (Trudeau and Macron) are totally inadequate or being shown to be so by incredibly biased media, mind you Trudeau seems to just be an ******* honestly and Macron isn't being as forthright as he's let on.
I think one of the major difference is the "alt-left" don't generally go out and attack/kill random people on the street, rather if they use violence it's against extremists on the other sides (at protests and rallies). Neo nazis and white supremacists do go out and assault and kill "randoms" on the street.
Not that I'm condoning the violence of those on either side, rather pointing out there generally is a big difference in the type and timing of the violence (and it's unusual for an "alt left" to kill someone, unlike a far right "activist").
Out of interest what are people's opinions on this?

Apparently he hung the Nazi flag out for an unrelated reason to the protest.
Partly that was because traditionally a good number of the more extreme left despite some who truly had non-violent principles, would rather someone else got their hands dirty for their ideals usually by manipulation of emotional rhetoric, etc. seems to be increasingly less truly non-violent types within the more active left these days though.
Granted the extreme right tend to be quicker to more violent means in general.
And thats different to the "right"? Both sides have many people happy to spout **** to rile people up, although currently the "right" have certainly got a larger proportion, people like Trump mainstream media outlets are just the start.

Antifa and the extreme left.
Totally non violent.
Never heard any of them use slogans such as "Bash The Fash" or "punch a Nazi" or carrying baseball bats emblazoned with FCK NZS.
Haven't seen a single one of them block a highway and smash cars to smithereens.
It's astounding how quickly relatively intelligent people can discard their moral compass and justify criminal actions if it is against their perceived enemies.
Just like the poster above, jumping through hoops to deny that wherever communism goes holocaust follows.
If people used their brains and realised they were being used as pawns in a big political game then perhaps less of them would be getting run over, beaten and maced. All they are doing is hastening the arrival of a military state. The banning of public gatherings to protest and the silencing of the public.
It's going to be great when the government decided to do something truly despicable and your rights to protest have been quashed by the actions of these yobs.

Because universities are a breeding ground for the left. The so called "intelligentsia" believe that they have the moral high ground. That their opinions are completely right and by definition anyone who disagrees is completely wrong.
It's like the immigration argument. On the whole immigration has been a good thing for this country. The health service would likely collapse without it.
But pointing out that immigration, and mass immigration particularly, can have negative effects is effectively banned. To say that immigration puts pressure on the housing system, on school places and on some places creates ghettos is the moral equivalent of shouting "HEIL HITLER" in the eyes of some people on the left.
When you try to stifle any debate and immediate dismiss anyone you disagree with as a racist then there is NO debate. After that there will ONLY be violence.

Lol at people immediately comparing moderate conservatives with neo-nazis.
Ahh yes, all those moderate conservatives carrying swastikas and making nazi salutes...
You mean apart from the studies that show that belief to be a myth of the right
Hell, even our resident racist from Shropshire when trying to post evidence of said belief didn't actually read his source material, which said it was a myth
