I do agree with your arguments, fears and slippery slopes, however free speech is not about violently hindering others to have classes, damaging property, occupying campuses and so forth. The idea of destroying Western civilization is so wrong that a mediocre mind could easily debunk in a debate. What's perilous in allowing violent protesters to intimidate, disrupt normal operations, physically occupying campuses, destroying private property, etc, etc, is that at the end of the day the other side is going to be reluctant to even unfold the debunking ideas and the debate will never take place. These are bullies. Communist revolutions were always about bullying others into submission. Throughout the stages of "revolution" and their history altogether. Fascism and socialism/ communism are ideological cousins and need to be debated out of society. This should be our focus. Debate and more debate. More free speech!

More free speech is the key. However, violent acts and destruction of private property isn't free speech and shouldn't be tolerated. Protest should also be conducted in a peaceful, non-obstructive manner, without hindering others to go about their business. Your rights can't trample mine.

@katymcpherson7925 Even though it's never too late to try to instill a certain set of values that would prevent him from becoming vulnerable to dangerous ideas, I'm afraid the process takes much much longer and is part of lifelong education and conversations that take part from much earlier stages in life. If you have this kind of relationship and not some form of shaky balance between him actually listening to you and being triggered to have a reflex adverse reacting and not listen to you at all, I'd say communicate your fears to him and explain why that's important for you to do so.
