Jesus Christ, I never claimed that genocide wasn't evil. What I was saying was that if you want to be able to legally assault people because they're evil, you must first have some government organization that defines "evil" in an objective and clear way, so the public completely understands which people can be targeted. Of course advocating genocide is evil, but if you're talking about making a major change in the law, one promoting and allowing assault, people better be drat well clear as to whom they can assault.

who is advocating changing the laws on assault

yeah i think it's being overcomplicated a bit

it's just see nazi - punch nazi, where "nazi" is defined as "person who thinks genocide is good and cool"

Eh this isn't particularly fun discussing this and it's just wasting my time, so I'm going to bow out. To recap my positions:

1) Punching douchebags who think genocide is a swell idea is entertaining and amusing.
2) However, I feel normalizing violence isn't a great idea, and could lead to huge problems down the road.

Peace out

no one's saying the battery should be legal, it's clearly against the law

however reacting negatively to it is another story and very telling of your character.

just because its illegal doesnt mean it's morally wrong.

Yes but they aren't stopping fascism, are they? They're just risking arrest and their university careers (looked like a university campus to me) by assaulting a Nazi who is never going to have his mind changed, no matter how hard people attempt to knock it out of his skull. He's just gonna go lick his wounds and come back another day, but now feeling vindicated and oppressed. If it's really you getting off on the refractory period of the Nazi being sad at home with no friends, wincing and crying as he puts bandaids on his antifa battle scars, then at least come out and admit that that's the real thing you think is good about this.

Don't pretend for even half a second that this is 'beating' fascism any further than in just the literal sense, you're just fetishising an idiot getting beating up.

Doesn't matter if this fuckface still hates blacks, as long as he shuts the gently caress up about how great it'd be if they were wiped out. Facepunching will encourage him to shut the gently caress up.

like this, put punching:

I'm not sure what could be done to convince Spencer that he is in fact, wrong. People like this tend to be so far removed from reality that I don't think normal appeals to logic or emotions will make them reconsider their positions on killing black people. I suppose this point is arguable, but while I don't have any numbers to back this up, I don't think the conversion rate of white nationalists to more tolerant people is very high. In this case, steps have to be taken so as not to make these positions normalized and mainstream. As mentioned upthread, people like this depend on people to be "civilized" and give them a chance to speak in public without fear of retaliation. They use this chance to make the bile they spew more palatable, dressing it up in phrases such as "alt-right". I think that it's important that we, as a society, declare that advocacy for genocide is not okay, and if that message takes the form of a fist to a white nationalists face, that's just how it goes.

Violence is bad and should never be considered a substitute for discourse in 99% of situations. Where the person being punched is a literal unapologetic nazi is that 1%.

The person who did the punching should still be arrested, charged, etc. After they serve their punishment, I'll buy 'em a beer.
