Life out in the world has never been easy for conservatives. The great Rush Limbaugh's description of how the left thinks of us was spot on. Conservatives are "racist, sexist, bigoted homophobes." But in the era of Trump 2.0, and even more recently, since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, that description has been amplified by the left. Words are now violence, and younger Americans now feel that some degree of political violence is okay. It doesn't take much to figure out that those attitudes are coming from the college campuses they inhabit, and in case we forgot, it didn't just start with the reelection of Donald Trump.
Self-described Antifa militiaman Prof. Dwayne Dixon publicly bragged about chasing James Fields and menacing him with a loaded Armalite-style rifle during the attack on Fields that resulted in Heather Heyer's death.

On Thursday, new details came to light about a 2018 panel discussion held at Harvard University's Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights. The title of the discussion panel was "You Don't Stand Around and Let People Get Hurt: Antifascism After Charlottesville." The main speaker was Professor Dwayne Dixon from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. The same Dwayne Dixon who was placed on administrative leave by UNC on Monday after reports of his activities associated with a now-defunct far-left gun group called Redneck Revolt surfaced.

Video of the discussion has been scrubbed from the Carr-Ryan Center's YouTube page following Dixon's being placed on leave. Still, portions of the talk reveal unsurprising stances from the participants regarding political violence and its place in political debate, and how long those stances have festered on college campuses.
The panel consisted of Education Professor Timothy McCarthy, American History and African American Studies Professor Vincent Brown, and American History Professor Lisa McGurr. Brown introduced Dixon this way:
Many of you are aware of the ongoing vigorous debate over whether it's OK to punch a Nazi. I personally happen to believe that the ethical question was settled by WWII and Raiders of the Lost Ark. All four of [the panel members] are committed to study, interpretation and reasoned debate, but are well aware that deliberation might have distinct limits in the face of opponents who would prefer to see us eliminated.
Dixon talked about Redneck Revolt and the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. He portrayed the group's participation in the rally as heroes fighting back against neo-Nazis, White supremacists, and fascists. McCarthy then associated Trump and then-Vice President Mike Pence with fascism, saying that the LGBTQ community has:
...a sense, perhaps quite real, that we are indeed at war and that this is a different kind of phase of war that is more specific, more linked to domestic insurgency of White supremacy, the rise of that, a fascist state under the Trump-Pence regime.
He added a reference to the 2018 political climate as an "emergent fascist moment with all the signs of that from history that if we're paying attention."

Also, not surprisingly by today's standards, just one of the Harvard panelists, McGurr, came to the discussion thinking that Dixon's advocating for violence might not be the best idea. However, by the end of the discussion, she said this:
This was a beautiful, brilliant, wonderful, very convincing talk. So, you know, I actually came in here relatively skeptical about your (Dixon's) use of, you know, coming armed to Charlottesville, and what happened in North Carolina. And at the end, I'm kind of convinced, actually, you know, that there is a place for this.
As if we didn't know it, this kind of disturbing nonsense has been pushed on college campuses long before the Israel-Hamas war and the murder of Charlie Kirk. Young skulls full of mush (another Rush-ism) are being fed the notion that political violence is okay as long as it is the "right kind" of violence, "right" being the operative word. It's not a stretch to believe that this will ramp up. The Harvard faculty members did not respond to a request for a comment. Not because they feared ending up like Dwayne Dixon, but because they condone what he is advocating.

Students at UNC planned a rally in support of Dixon. He released a statement on Tuesday, portraying himself as some sort of freedom fighter/victim, saying:
The administration's decision to suspend me has implications for everyone on campus. This is not about a single person; it is an issue that affects all of us. This rally is powerful community demonstration of our shared desire for a better world. In solidarity and love, we struggle together to preserve our liberties.
As if faculty advocating for political violence wasn't enough for parents shelling out the $59,076 a year in tuition, there will be visiting (warning: offensive language) Professor "LaWhore Vagistan's" spring semester class on the television show "RuPaul's Drag Race." As the snooty host in the snooty restaurant in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" said, "I weep for the future."
🚨 This is Dwayne Dixon — the UNC professor currently on leave for his affiliation with Redneck Revolt.

“When the left uses violence, in the rare cases that it happens, it’s resistance. I’m never gonna stand by and let people get hurt.”
