Thanks for the definition.
How is rioting to shut down a conservative speaker tolerant.

Nice try. Where are the riots? That is some weak sauce.
Do you want this posted in the pit?
Exactly. You could care a less that some college kid, mind poisoned with alt-right ideology, murdered an innocent young man in the prime of his life, with a promising military career (he'd just been commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Army) ahead of him.
That won't be featured at the top of Drudge. It won't be talked about on College Fix or Campus Reform. And you and your peers won't be starting any threads about it. But you'll start thread after thread about a handful of protests turned violent. When was the last one? Three months ago? How many have there been in total? How many could actually be classified as "riots?"
It's ugly. Most of the people on either side of the political spectrum strongly disapprove of the threat of violence to shutdown speakers. Let's not pretend otherwise and let's not pretend like for each of instance of violent protest on a college campus there haven't been a dozen threads about it on ATS and 1,000 comments in posts.
It's all you got. Something you can be selectively outraged about and point to while you high five one another and talk about how horrible "liberals" are based on your perception of a few isolated incidents involving .000000001% of American "liberals."

Liberals stand for freedom, equality and free speech.
Antifa are merely militant SJW's, and SJW's are well documented as being anti-free speech, racist, violent, etc. That Antifa came about was a natural, predictable outcome.
Then they are not true liberals. Maybe extreme left nutjobs. As I have stated I am alt-left who reject those nutjobs.

SO the liberals that rioted and took someone's freedom of speech are still tolerant?
Or are you saying these idiots are not liberal?
An alternative political movement that seeks to unite those who feel underrepresented or marginalized by current mainstream political channels, who seek to adhere to left-wing policies while rejecting what they deem the regressive left agenda; "Identity Politics", "Censorship in College campuses","Trigger Warnings", "All whites are racist", "All men are sexist" and other bs narratives .
Alt-Leftists despise SJWs/Regressive Leftists for their insanity denial of obvious facts and racist agenda

That's what I've been saying. Or at least that's what I believe. Liberals are supposed to be tolerant. Heck that's what the word means! I guess extremists have hijacked both sides. Sad really.

Don't bring conservatives into this. As we have seen, they are not rioting to shut down liberal/progressive/leftist speakers.
