Shia LaBoeuf, Richard Spencer and the lessons of Gandhi

A new reality has dawned on the neoliberal world that the left has forgotten everything that made them liberal, and have instead become intolerant and hateful, this is beyond strange. I remember being taught in school about the triumphs of Mahatma Gandhi in liberating India, all without a single instance of violence initiated by protesters. We were told that he brought the great subcontinent to its knees and secured the freedom of a nation. We were told that Gandhi was a great liberal hero and that civilized liberals everywhere could imitate Gandhi with ease, and with a strong enough cause we could force the world to our will with insurmountable power.

Today however, none of this applies to the left. Antifa instead punches white supremacists whether real or just perceived. Here is a picture that shows you what antifa thinks they do, shoving thier boot into the face of a person making the Nazi salute. They claim that they are "denying a platform" to intolerance by doing this.

Not only does this fail to help, it acutally does something to hinder the free flow of ideas, something which would help in defeating genuine fascism, and it lends a good deal of oppression points to Mr. Spencer when somebody throws a very laughable punch at the side of his head.

Sure that's one instance of radical violence but what about Shia LaBoeuf? Shia went insane recently because his art project was set upon by 4chan trolls who took to the streets. The trolls broke him and his cultists utterly, they lost thier composure and became violent. The opinions of real people were too edgy it seems for Shia's ill-planned 4 year art project which ended in only 4 days. Meanwhile the trolls perfectly embodied the principles of non-violence as they approached the camera and shouted their opinion, praised Kek and drank and smoked in the night, calling Shia a neoliberal poseur. Their energy and playful behaviour was impossible to control, yet they had no intention of violence because they had no great tabernacle of feminism and liberal culture to defend from impiety, nor did they have a fixed ideology other than being against oppression.

Gandhi has thus shown us the path to destroying neoliberalism and the corporatist machine that relies on our infighting to survive. The regressives will wither and there is nothing they can do about it because when you have power you necessarily hate non-violent protest, and as a result you necessarily lose the public relations war.

The alt-Right itself can keep on using this tactic and that's preferable for all intents and purposes since some of them can be quite extreme, but this also helps the rest of the anti-establishment movement indirectly by exposing the establishment as generally oppressive in their desires and behaviour.
