Richard Spencer was all over the news before the punch. He had a fawning profile in Mother Jones. He was not hurting for exposure before this. He was roundly mocked for it, and it was great. He's become a punchline - no pun intended - as the white supremacist who got his face bashed in and has been threatened and/or physically assaulted when he's been in public, including having to leave a white power rally because he was scared. This is a good thing.

Yeah, Trump was elected before Spencer got punched in the face. Hillary Clinton had the whole deplorables thing and was raging against Pepe the Frog. The climate in the country was already chugging along in that direction, so saying Richard Spencer getting punched in the face gave the alt right more exposure is disingenuous.

Seeing Richard Spencer get punched in the face isn't going to turn anyone into a Neo Nazi that didn't already believe in white supremacy.

Yeah that punch is just something for pearl clutching liberals to cry about.

It isn't expanding Nazism or something stupid like that.

Haha don't worry everybody it's okay for me to advocate for assault as a weapon to police political speech--I'm Jewish.

It's a big Whatever from me. A bunch of my family ended up in the camps. A few people on my Mom's side of the family even moved back to Poland from NYC in the 1920s because they thought their daughter was becoming too modern, not covering her hair, missing Temple and everything. On my Dad's side my great grandfather's memoirs from pre-war Vienna have him looking out the window seeing leftist students getting violent, proving their conviction and winning over nobody, the general population recoiling from that sort of thing. Violence is cyclical and hate is met with hate every time. It serves no real purpose but to inflame a righteous sense of tribalism.

If you care about the outcomes of your politics, you should accept nothing less than strict pacifism in public, and more helpfully you should also believe in targeted assassination behind the scenes. Even if they become martyrs, it's not like they're around to control their legacy.

Like, you find you simply must do something about this street preacher then you befriend the guy in public, show the world that you are above his petty hatreds, then have him quietly choked to death in a whorehouse. Don't punch him in front of a camera. That's just so stupid and unproductive I can barely comprehend it.

So calm down (I'm not the Nazi or threatening you) and let's use data. Guess what that giant spike is? Look at what his tend data looks like since.
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=richard%20spencer

Anecdotally, I had no idea who he was before he for punched, in guessing most people here didn't either. I also can't really name any other Nazi, but I will the next time this happens. As has been said, his danger is that people see him and say "I just think you should pay them less, I'm not that bad" and think it's normal. Every time these guys get attacked more people see that.

You have no evidence of your claim other than a vague people who may or may not be Nazis gave more money.
that is all you got but you are extrapolating a poo poo ton from that. Meanwhile history does not support your hypothesis, even recent US history at that.

Lavar Ball: In my day I could have easily been light middleweight champion
Vasyl Lomachenko: *Paws Lavars hands down like a cat and hits him with 7 or 8 clean punches to the face and body*

I love Vasyl so much, he fights with imagination, he half pirouettes and throws uppercuts off a pivot to what looks like a sidestep but actually is a step forward, he seems precise and perfect, but when you look closely there are so many choices and a depth of reason, he's like a Vermeer painting that became a professional boxer

I think if I was going to watch any annoying half assed impresario beaten by a boxer, the boxer I would choose would be Guillermo Rigondeaux, there's something about his style that makes his opponents feel hopeless, it's impressive.

Actually it would be nice to line up all the slimy thieving boxing promoters and have the champions at each division fight them for one round at a time.

Hand Row posted:

What about the next 3 years of that horrible contract.

They basically have their starting five locked up on big deals for the length of his contract, so as long as he's better than a minimum guy over that stretch they'll probably be fine. It might get a little hairy when Kemba needs to re-sign in 2019 but I sort of expect them to blow things up by that point anyway.

In the short term, he'll probably be better next year than anyone they could realistically get in this summer's terrible center free agent crop. It's unfortunate he got hurt this year but it's hard to be too angry when the team is already locked into mediocrity for a while and they didn't give up anything of real value for him
