Remind me again: who are the fascists? Those talking? Or those who don’t allow free speech?
Maybe someone would put a mask on to show us all…
Antifa agitators shut down an event at the King’s College in London featuring Ayn Rand Institute President Yaron Brook and alt-right sympathetic Youtube personality Carl Benjamin (a.k.a. Sargon of Akkad).
Violence ensued, and several security guards suffered injuries, according to a statement put out by King’s Libertarian Society, the student group sponsoring the event.
“This was an act of violence, clearly intended to silence Yaron and Sargon’s planned debate, via a series of jackbooted totalitarian tactics that unfortunately proved successful tonight,” the groupsaid.
On Twitter, antifa activists celebrated their victory.
