Inclusiveness does not actually mean everyone should be included.

Are you shocked and appalled I would say that? For example, neo-Nazis should not be included and tolerated in civil society. White supremacists should not be included and tolerated.

Are you on board with me now?

Of course, that leaves us with a narrow tightrope to walk in terms of free speech and how far it can go.

Some speech is illegal and dangerous, but we do have to tolerate a lot of speech we don’t like.

However, we do not have to pretend to like it.

We do not have to pretend there is anything socially useful or redeemable about neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

We have rightly condemned those groups in commentary against what is now known as the “alt-right”.

This is a new term to most of us and therefore not clearly defined for many people.

The Globe and Mail defines alt-right as referring to “a collection of groups or individuals espousing racist, fascist or white-supremacist ideologies.” Fair enough.

But we are only a sensible society if we also condemn what many are now calling the “alt-left”, and that is not happening.

Could we define the alt-left as a collection of groups or individuals who espouse racist, anti-white, anti-police ideologies?

I have publicly talked and written about what I call the racism of Black Lives Matter Toronto.

One of its co-founders has written about the inferiority of whites, that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a white supremacist and that one needs strength not to kill white people.

Aren’t those racist views? Yet BLM angrily defends them.

Do we look favourably on people who defend neo-Nazis?

Many people who rightly condemn the alt-right nonetheless support Black Lives Matter Toronto and a group who call themselves “Antifa” — short for anti-fascists.

Antifa is often nothing more than a violent mob.

Its members claim to be against neo-Nazis, and reserve for themselves the right to use violence against them.

As Candice Malcolm pointed out in the Toronto Sun last week, Antifa members popularized the idea it was okay to “punch a Nazi”.

Perhaps you feel it is okay to punch a neo-Nazi, but as Malcolm noted, “(T)his is a slippery slope. When there were no Nazis to be found, Antifa began punching conservatives, police officers, journalists and anyone else who questioned their militant tactics. “In Quebec Antifa thugs began setting fires, vandalizing private property and pelting police officers with smoke bombs, fireworks and glass bottles.”

Innocent people were attacked in Quebec City by Antifa.

A Global News journalist was thrown down a flight of stairs. His cameraman’s camera was smashed.

It’s unclear to me how such actions are useful in opposing neo-Nazis.

I’m disgusted by white supremacists and neo-Nazis and I say so, publicly.

But it’s disturbing to see support from supposedly responsible people for Black Lives Matter Toronto and Antifa.

Too many politicians and media who condemn the alt-right, find the alt-left acceptable.

It’s past time for these politicians to speak out publicly against those groups on the alt-left, by name.

Racism and violence are not acceptable no matter who does it.

It’s not all that brave to oppose neo-Nazis. It’s logical and correct.

But we should condemn racism of any kind, including racism against whites.
