Berkeley Student Op-Ed: We Had To Get Violent In Self-Defense To People Saying StuffOf course, MILO never said such a thing. The narrative must distort the truth (outright lie) or the narrative would be useless to the Left.
student newspaper for UC Berkeley – ran an op-ed defending the use of violence in shutting down a speech by alt-right popularizer and professional provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. The op-ed, titled “Violence as self-defense,” was a whole series of op-eds talking about why violence was useful in shutting down political debate.
“To people with platforms who decide when a protest should and should not be violent: You speak from a place of immense privilege. As I recently wrote in a tirade against this brand of idiocy, asking people to maintain peaceful dialogue with those who legitimately do not think their lives matter is a violent act,” wrote Nisa Dang, an alumna of the university.

If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic?

Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

Ah, the old 'look what you made me do!' defense. Got me off the hook every time when I was a little kid. No doubt the protesters resorted to violence only reluctantly and as a last resort, out of a sense of duty.
And now? They're protesting against the violence of their own protests by claiming they were 'forced' into it by someone else. The poor dears had better find a Leftist sinecure quickly when they graduate, or they will surely starve.
