Tell that to the YPG/YPJ, who have killed more Islamists than any right-wing group.

Then surely you also hate the Amazing Athiest, an athiest, left-anarchist pothead who consistently rails against political correctness and endorsed Trump?

Ah the same groups that had former volunteers banned from speaking by my former uni's student union which was a union led by Islamists and far-left ideologues.

Sounds like an alliance of Islamists and tankies to me.

Yes, the right is just as guilty at times. But long ago, if conservative students had shut down pro-LGBT speakers, far-left speakers, etc from speaking the left would have lost it and been bringing up the issue of right to free speech.

Exactly. The roles have been flipped.

Outlets are only valid when they support the conservative narrative.

Because it's illegal to kill people who aren't waging literal jihad in most countries.

Germany has been crushing the "free speech" of Nazis since their modern republic was formed.

In other words, the far-left.

...and your point is what, exactly?

My point is that it's a far left, feminist militia who is actually the one fighting (and winning) against the Islamist menace, not a bunch of alt-righters.

It may shock you to learn this, but the "far left" is not a monolith. I'm a democratic confederalist, not a Stalinist.
