I thought Hacker News was above Nazi-comparisons, but if we are sinking to that level, perhaps we should also compare similarities between left-wing groups engaging in politically motivated acts of violence and the Nazi brownshirts.
For example, consider the group UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks called:
> more than 100 armed individuals clad all in black who utilized paramilitary tactics to engage in violent, destructive behavior designed to shut [Milo's speech] down.
(But I'd rather we avoid Nazi comparisons altogether. They can be an effective way for an author to get attention but they can be used by both sides and they rarely lead to useful discussion.)
