I don't think wars, including civil wars and bloody revolutions are a good thing. They might be warranted if, just like with any other form of violence, they are done in self-defense. But I don't think the actions of antifa members or a random person who punches someone he perceived to be a Nazi, can be considered to be done in self-defense. You cannot defend yourself in court by saying you harmed somebody because they might potentionaly become instrumental in the moral devolution of your country. I think alt-righters are dumb, that's why I read this thread but I can't find any moral justification for violence against them.
Would you punch Sargon if you saw him walking down the street towards you minding his own business? If you did I'd say you were in the wrong.

Wrap it up, altrightailures. Looks likes youtube is actually doing something resembling smart with supremacist content. See some loser whine about how he'd get flagged fro transphobia here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6MZ5-KCT3g

Also, some other dude who looks like a reject from the Gathering of the Juggalos is complaining here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dQwd2SvFok

On hand, we don't get videos to mock anymore. A lot of social justicey channel will suffer a bunch, but only if their content is mostly meta. On the other, if you want to put blatant hate speech up on youtube, you lose the ability to make money off of it, and will have it hidden to the point where your channel will probably start to wither and die. So the free lunch of using the commons to make a cheap buck by flogging minorities and immigrants probably will come to an end soon. There's the idea that Vid.Me will pick up the slack, but that might be as poorly thought out as the redditors who tried to jump over to Voat.

Cutting these guys off from easy money probably kills the organization these movements have. Sure you still have the Daily Stormer or Info Wars, but those aren't spinning out new "counter cultural" content for kids like these youtube channels are. I only wish this had been done 2-3 years ago, so this chud flood to the alt right could have been dissipated and made toothless.

I did not move any goalposts, my argument was that if you saw a person's you perceived to be a Nazi (and I used Sargon as an example as I though some of you might see him as a Nazi) and you harmed him with no provocation, except for being, what you saw as a Nazi, you would be in the wrong in both my opinion and in most court's.
Violence is always bad. But it is warranted in self-defense.

Violence is always bad. But it is warranted in self-defense.

this is a pretty useless hypothetical scenario though because few nazis are being assaulted while getting groceries or visiting their grandmothers. typically they're assaulted while they are at nazi rallies, saying nazi things, the occurance of which is a bad thing for society unless for some odd and unexplainable reason you think society should tolerate nazi speech and that shutting this speech down is worse than advocating racial and ethnic purity, or any other number of things which might irrationally antagonize your enfeebled mind like women's ankles or persons of color sitting down on the bus

You can do both. Note that it's not specially against the alt-right only. I'd suspect that the ISIS stuff and porn are also done. In short, youtube is growing up and trying to become legit. You need to push the chuds out for that to happen.

You know what methods did this Nazi "empire" use? Violence. So are you disagreeing with their goals but agreeing with their methods?

But I'm done with this tangent, I have no desire to argue with somebody who says violence is all cool and good and totally the right thing to do. If we were having a face to face conversation I would've punched you in the face to make a point but alas.

haha do you think you actually have an insightful point here or are you so stunned by your own stupdendous powers of observation and synthesis that you can recognize that both sides are bad and that maybe the truth is in the middle

because here i was thinking you were just an upset troll trying to vent your bad emotions but it does appear that you may actually be extremely stupid. because your extreme faux pacifist stance means you support oppressors and the tyrannical status quo while fooling yourself into the weakest moral superiority possible, whoops! turns out these sorts of arguments can be tricky, when you are stupid

The whole of the alt-right will out for blood over this. I cant imagine the pro free speech people is going to be pleased that relatively tame poo poo like Styx a hardcore libertarian is going to be delisted and be shadow banned off Youtube. Theres going to be so much poo poo coming when Google go balls deep through with this.

Y-yeah? Like if someone who cannot be 'logically persuaded' to not be a bigot and to cease their active campaign of violence on oppressed people (or even their active pursuit in doing so) there's not much else to do but respond in kind. They're not going to listen to 'reason' because their beliefs aren't built on it but a systematic and aggressive hatred that isn't going to change quickly if at all.

Sorry if that is somehow news to you.

Yes, but 4chan, voat, or the like don't make content creators any money. I think the central point I might not have directly stated is that without an economic incentive, the Sargons of the world don't post videos anymore, and thus stop radicalizing new kids to the alt right. That's a huge win, and a huge loss for the youtube right-wing "counter culture". I've heard that 4chan isn't doing all that great financially, and voat/8chan are microscopic compared with youtube or even 4chan. We may get to the point where the wild wild web dies within the decade, and is replaced with something acceptable to normal society.
