Google "Antifa silences speaker," and you'll find literally hundreds of cases of exactly that (I just did to verify).

I Googles that exact string and I can't say that I see even enough cases to count on one hand. Do you have any concrete examples that you think are representative for the behavior that you are referencing?

Googling “earth is flat” nets you thousands of results from very passionate people willing to share their experience and expertise. (I just did to verify)

I guarantee it's just a bunch of heavily edited clips of people like Tim Pool being told they're idiots by college kids.

Conservative speakers are so very sensitive to being called stupid.

I don't think you understand what "silencing" is. If they were actually silenced, you wouldn't be able to find anything about it online.

People who are "silenced" are not "googleable with 100s of examples."

Those articles are using the word 'antifa' as a slur, not as an organization.

It is like saying "the woke mob silenced a speaker", it doesn't mean anything. There isn't a 'woke organization' that is planning anything

A movement is better terminology than an organization, fair.

But okay - I'm confused what sources you would accept? There are "Antifa" groups on social media that literally advocate for doing this, I've seen it first-hand.

Sure, but since anyone can claim the term, what is to stop someone from creating a false flag group on social media to make them look bad?

Which SPECIFIC persons are being silenced and which SPECIFIC topics were they attempting to speak on?

It’s a huge diff between someone being ”silenced” for speaking their minds on bike paths versus being ”silenced” for indirectly or even directly promoting a new holocaust. And from your vague responses it is not clear.

Ah yes, when the first result on Google is from a group known as a right wing think tank...

>American Enterprise Institute, a prominent center-right think tank in Washington, D.C., that promotes free enterprise, limited government, and individual liberty through research and policy advocacy in areas like economics, foreign policy, and social studies

I too can get paid think tanks to publish hundreds of reports on how communists are taking over America... Doesn't mean communists are actually taking over America.

If you don't trust a center-right think tank with video evidence, but you're advocating for a far-left movement... you need to see more center.

I've literally seen, with my own eyes, people of this movement shut down speech on my own college campus so many times. Probably everybody I've ever known at any college (Harvard, BU, BC, Northeastern, Middlebury, UC Berkeley, NYU, Columbia, etc) has seen this first-hand. How are you denying such an obvious reality?

Through what mechanism do they "shut down speech"?
