So if I was on a march with the anti-nazi league and boots started to fly, damn right I am going to stand my ground and not back down. You are trying to teach your Granny to suck eggs. When you are part of a group that is affected you soon learn that you cannot just keep your head down and wish it away. What you are talking about here is in no way comparable. Yes there are offensive idiots on the left that want to shut down debate but you are doing the very same thing several times a day when you put the entire left into one group and dismisss them on mass on the behaviour of extreme examples. That is not the same thing as real facists who exist and are starting to crawl out of the woodwork because the climate has now made it acceptable to air repugnant voices about ethnic cleansing and to take their fight out into neighborhoods.
Trump does not help things when he refuses to speak out against those extremists. Do you think the entire womens marches across the world the day after his inauguration were composed of misguided stupid idiots who simply wanted to shout their mouths of in an act of self aggrandizing hyperbole ? Millions around the world and you are putting them all into the same category and dismissing them. You would seemingly defend Trump whatever he says. The fact that you have such an issue with Universities and can't stop yourself from wanting equivalence with all those who have genuine beef puts you into the same camp as those celebrity gobshites who just want to shout the loudest and have everyone pat them on the back.
