It's not about what he deserves, it's about what the effects are on his appeal. This increases his appeal, just like Milo loves having counterprotests (the rowdier, the better) at his campus talks. The proper response isn't to hit back, no matter how appealing it is. It's to cut them off in advance. Campuses and venues can easily enact policies that have the effect of excluding these people from speaking. Policies on ticket priority can keep them from bringing in paid supporters, which keeps them from profiting. Counterprogramming can sap their audience and promote an alternative narrative. The right wing isn't beaten by being attacked or reasoned with, but by cutting off their air.

Nothing cuts off someone's air quite like a punch to the throat.

When I say "punching a nazi is good", I don't mean we should pass laws legalizing violence if the target's opinions fit certain criteria, I mean that if someone's willing to risk jail in in order to punch a nazi they are doing the world a service.

If you're in a position to change laws or policies, yes it's true, I don't think you can tailor that stuff precisely enough to only target nazis once filtered through the entire system of government, police, courts etc. But if you're just a citizen on the street and you see someone who is definitely a nazi and you want to punch them even though that's legally assault, I applaud rather than scold you for doing so.

By the way, Spencer's buddies don't seem to be handling the punch thing well. Their current strategy is "WE TOTALLY FOUND THAT SAVAGE CUCK'S FACE BY COMPARING PHOTOGRAPHS AND HE'S AN ACTUAL CUCK WHO EATS poo poo AND WEARS DIAPERS". It doesn't seem to be sticking, for some reason. So no, they're not currently riding the victimhood wave too good, no.

I gotta side with FreeKillB on this one. I laughed at the video, and sure the guy has terrible opinions, but I'm not going to start condoning or calling for unnecessary violence. Sure bash the fash is fun and yeah it sure seems great to just shut all these assholes up so they can't spread their dumb opinions, and risk causing actual harm to others. But in my mind it's not the way to do it as it just doesn't seem any different than what they're doing. The idea isn't to silence and snuff out their opinions through fear and intimidation. It should be to pull them into light, critique them, and ridicule them. Poke holes in their core beliefs. So instead of making people afraid to be Nazis, you make them understand why being a Nazi is stupid in the first place. I guess I am a CIS white male though, so I'm practically never going to know what it's like to be intimidated by Nazis. I can see how that may influence my opinion, but I just don't see violence and our own intimidation as being a good resolution to the problem.

Whether it's the right guy or not (it's not) is irrelevant, since they'd be making the same accusations anyway. It's not working because people only saw the punch and getting punched makes you look like a weak loser no matter what

This is literally the worst thing you can do. Their "ideas" are self evidently terrible and all this does is grant them underserved legitimacy. Most people are poo poo debaters and all you'll do is allow them to spew unrefuted bullshit and you'll make people more sympathetic to the Nazis.

They aren't afraid of breaking the law when it suits them. They aren't gonna play the same game as you. They literally advocate for genocide.

Legitimizing Nazis by trying to debate them on the floor is stupid because they aren't beholden by the same rules as you.l They don't need to play fair or make proper logical argumenets or any of that. You care about truth and being right and justice. they don't, so they don't have to play by any of the rules that care about that poo poo. Don't give Nazis a platform. loving punch those shits. You have to on some level buy into democracy to debate someone, and buy into the fact that your opponent could be right- by debating them, you are doing that. And they will respond by yelling emotional poo poo and self-aggrandizing and even if their argument is poor it gives it VISIBILITY. The only way to deal with Nazis is a loving punch to the face and utterly refusing them a platform to speak wherever possible.

Nah, I mean he was supposed to get "assaulted" and then bravely take down his evil SJW assailant to show how strong the Alt Right really is, but it turned out that when push comes to shove he's a whiny little flop-haired bitch who can't take a punch even if it's planned ahead of time. Now he's on damage control, his base hates him, and the Left has learned that Nazis getting the bash is meme fodder to surpass Metal Gear.

The fact that he was talking about memes when the attacker struck is my main evidence.

You guys are probably right that it's a dangerous proposition and a threat to democracy, and I might not have the best ideas on how to handle it (I don't like what Germany does either), but I can't in good conscience advocate for violence when they're not posing an immediate physical threat to someone.

Considering the guy literally advocates for black genocide and publishes articles that talk about questions like 'do we really need the black race', the fucker might not CURRENTLY be committing a violence, but he sure as hell advocates societal scale violence.

The point isn't that Muslims and Nazis are interchangeable, the point is that the chain of self-justification is basically identical.
