Article: Long on innuendo, short on evidence. Additionally, ignores a far longer history of white supremacists & sympathizers.

This piece does nothing to explain why "alt-left" is a problem, on top of that. It ENFLAMES a problem by supporting the false equivalency.

A rich white woman telling marginalised people not to fight against fascism isn't a good look.

P.S The article is shit and makes no sense.

Would you say those who took up arms to fight against slaveowners became... slaveowners?

I think what she means is as long as the colour of those taking up arms fits............

Got it.

Sorry, British dead pan.

Bronx dead pan response lol

FULL STOP Rioting is the voice of the unheard ma'am. MLK said that. We ain't rich like you. We are out here fighting for basic human rights.

If you don't want to fight you don't have to, but don't tell other ppl who are scared and struggling how to get what they need.

this is a really bad take

marginalized ppl get violence enacted upon our bodies all the time and it's ONLY when we decide to fight back, that people have an issue

the condemnation of violence is always placed on minorities; "do better", privileged folk say, as if words and "love" weren't done before

jessica no

it's easy to say that when what we're fighting doesn't threaten your life or livelihood. it's easy to say that when you're safe either way.

for people whose safety is threatened by the alt-right, violence and hatred are the means for safety. violent resistance is their survival.

"love trumps hate" is a complacent centre-left liberal ideology that does nothing for those who are truly disadvantaged by hate. that's that

Love can't trump systematic racism :/
