"Speech, expression and assembly" represent the triumvirate for truth. Short of breaking existing laws around physical violence and incitement to physical violence, the more we have of all three, the closer we come to that more perfect union, offering the most freedom for the most people with the least government interference. But in an age of internet technology with deep fakes, bots, hacks, and myriad pathways to craft and deliver mis- and dis-information, radical left-wingers can abuse and use those liberties to tarnish conservatives, desensitize our communities to certain phenomena, and squelch our freedoms. It behooves individuals, our government, and even watchdog organizations to pause before reacting to information from somewhere on the internet.
As an example, did you know that, on February 25, America’s neo-Nazi and White Supremacist groups sponsored a national “Day of Hate”? You probably didn’t hear anything about it unless you are Jewish and your inbox was inundated with emails from various Jewish organizations, synagogues, and even local condo boards, warning of “an online campaign by domestic violence extremists, calling for an anti-Semitic “Day of Hate.”
As it turned out, despite the terror this announcement caused in Jewish households and houses of worship across the country and as far away as Israel, the “Day of Hate” passed without incident, as reported in The Forward, a progressive Jewish publication.
It’s good that nothing happened. The last thing anyone wants, including this skeptic, is more violence. But anti-Semitism is on the march, and we must monitor and be aware of it no matter the source—white supremacists, non-white supremacists, Antifa, or Islamic extremists. The problem for Jews and non-Jews alike, as evidenced by the “Day of Hate” that never happened, is that America’s politicians, journalists, and activists are only concerned with anti-Semitism coming from white people.

The FBI has been trying to identify “white supremacists” lately. I would not doubt if this was one of their operations to impact public sentiment.
Speech is speech. Sticks and stones MFrs! Sadly, it appears that much like the 2nd, the 1st amendment isn’t absolute. Right joementia? 👹🖕
Neo-Nazis and the KKK are a small group of losers and kooks. They aren’t going to threaten anyone other than threatening to stay in their parents’ basements without a job until they are well into their 30s. The last time the KKK had any power is when it was the terrorist, paramilitary arm of the Democrat Party. Now the Democrats have BLM as their paramilitary arm. BLM has a lot of antisemites in it. But they are going to get a pass.
Harnessing? They created it. The only Jew hate out there is at Berkeley, USC, the Ivy schools and in the black and moslem community.
