If we're speaking of Antifa, which I am at any rate, the same thing they did to a statue of Abraham Lincoln. I've heard nothing from white identitarians about a desire to do a damn thing about any monument to MLK or any other black Americans. They seem far more preoccupied with the notion that no monuments be destroyed.
As for words indicating intention to commit violence. Tell me which is providing that intention:
"Hey everyone lets have a rally for free speech"
Criminal speech has never had protection under the law. That includes incitement to riot.
Quote:"Let's go punch some nazis."
There are countries in which Nazism itself is illegal. That's not much of a loss of liberty.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
