Yea, the biggest problem I have with the whole punch a nazi nonsense is people have proven over the last 8 years that the term is extremely muddied and everyone is a Nazi if you disagree with them hard enough. It means nothing now. That chick who interview Milo Y was ostracized from the left for even speaking to him on less then hostile terms and they want to dictate who the fascists are? It's madness.

I remember the tea party calling Obama a Nazi, hitler, etc back in 08 and we all laughed at those people and now the modern fringe left tea party is doing it to trump, his supporters, and anyone who doesn't tow the party line.

Justifying political violence with, as a crazy person declared earlier today, no substantiation at all necessary is loving terrifying to me- way more so than whatever doomsday scenario there is where people are scared of the anime avatars from twitter taking over.

Joe snorts like a monkey when someone challenges his opinion or he feels defensive when making a statement. Anybody else notice this? I can't stop hearing it now. It's not really a snort I guess, kind of like a cocaine sniff.

I was late to the party for the Alex Jones episode but oh man that was hilarious. I love that it was episode 911 too. Another new thread subject could be who you think will be the guest(s) on episode 1,000.

More importantly I've been thinking lately about a lady Joe had on a few years back, good looking brunette whose name I can't recall at all, who was a radical advocate for a health movement essentially based on never being physically comfortable. It led her to the point of having no furniture in her house and not wearing a harness to carry her toddler, as it was the toddler's job to harden the gently caress up and latch on like a baby monkey. It was really interesting because the main idea of it was actually pretty convincing at first, but as the episode went on and she revealed the extremes that she took it to by the end of the podcast she had painted herself as a transparently actual crazy person. If anyone remembers the episode number I'd like to rewatch and peer back into that void.

I agree with most of what you're saying here, but also there does seem to have been a tangible rise lately in groups deliberately evoking Nazi and fascist imagery and rhetoric, and those people are a different story.

One punch to Richard Spencer and he immediately admitted that if they can't safely go out and broadcast their views, they will not grow as a movement. You guys can pretend that you can reason with fascists, argue your points with them and life will be better for all involved, but it doesn't work like that.

you can gently caress with fascists all you want but this slippery slope garbage where i see nerds online find any point of disagreement they can, shut the opposing person out entirely, and then call them a fascist while jerking off about committing brutal violence against them is boring whiny loser poo poo. the world isn't a binary split between righteous stalinist murderers of women and children and evil nazi murderers of women and children.

No poo poo. People are getting seriously confused since I guess Godwin's Law broke everyone's mind, but there is a very clear and present movement going on worldwide. This isn't just Milo's market of shut-in unfuckable nerds who get mad about women not loving them anymore.

I think he's full of poo poo and is intentionally pulling the victim card. It's quite the opposite as this post says here:

I think hitting them does nothing but generate sympathy for them from those already on the border of white supremacy. Add to that the childish divisive political rhetoric these days of evil white people this and evil white people that, eventually these people will feel backed into a corner and will feel justified becoming white supremacists.

All the nazi punchers are doing is fanning the flames of white persecution complex, especially since, let's be real here, white people are socially not allowed to defend themselves from racism. If I went up to a white person yelling "gently caress you, die you white cracker motherfucker" what can they really do or say to me that's acceptable by society?

It's all very complicated but idk no one likes nazis but wholesale beating the poo poo out of people is just horrible and barbaric to me and seems like it'll just cause more problems.

I think a white person could acceptably call out racism if someone angrily called them a racial slur, which cracker technically is, I guess.

That being said, I don't think there's any word for white people that carries the weight of a history of oppression like other slurs do. You'd have to get down to the level of nationality for that, and that's a completely different thing, though it is superficially similar.

Full disclosure, I never asked anyone this but for years I've wondered if the closest thing you call a white person that's offensive on a racial level that is in any way comparable to the impact of other slurs and would stick with them is to call them a racist.

Kind of a dated thought tho as the word has been thrown around so much the last few years it doesn't have nearly the impact or meaning (obama's a racist, everyone who voted trump is a racist, the oscars are racist, milk is racist, etc).

ah that's cool i actually agree with you, then. on a personal level, it is hard to care if someone who is a real piece of poo poo gets knocked out.. i don't know much about that one guy but he seems pretty disgusting. so that's whatever. i just don't like the idea of it being some sanctioned vigilante thing where everyone goes around beating the gently caress out of people because when that happens some hosed up poo poo starts going on.

also beep by grandma is right - it's nice to have a civil conversation about this where everyone shares their ideas :)

A Canadian who was directly inspired by the likes of Milo, Spencer, Breitbart, Etc. Walked into a mosque and machine gunned six people after becoming radicalized and indoctrinated by those fascist animals.

Yet you're bothered so much when someone decides to clock them for spreading that Idea, for trying to drag people back into the the worst aspects of history, and set culture back at least 50 years and invite violence and oppression to minorities and the weak.

I have said over and over that I'm terrified by the precedent mob punching sets on how we confront abhorrent views, I never said that I feel bad for these people. If I have learned anything watching politics my entire adulthood is that things are only becoming more hyperbolic, not less. That is the rub for me. I honestly do not know how to be any more clear about this.

Do you think the Dallas sniper that killed 5 cops last year was directly inspired by BLM? By your logic you must believe both killing sprees were directly inspired by the aforementioned groups.

Except Black lives matter doesnt advocate suppressing and hurting and oppressing other human beings, they advocate for civil rights. and they dont have historical precedents which resulted in millions of human beings were shoved into ovens and millions of african americans being treated like subhumans. the same cannot be said for the alt-right at all, not only do they not hide it, they bask in it.

Do you think people standing outside of mosques holding assault rifles and hateful signs are fine because they are currently peaceful? These types of people are an incident away from losing their poo poo due to rhetoric from Trump, Breitbart, Alex Jones, Drudge, etc; People are currently, as in the present, burning down mosques and synagogues. Death and bomb threats weekly. A Trump fan shot up a mosque. A kid shot up a black church. You have to be able to see the pure hatred and xenophobia these outlets and personalities are causing. I don't think you understand that peace is relative, and there is a difference between punching your uncle at a dinner because he thinks Trump is actually good, or fighting for the most vulnerable when those in power want them crushed. White nationalism is only growing, and is infiltrating our law enforcement, unchecked. This should, at the very least, worry you.
