if its a question of where you draw the line with regards to free speech then i'd agree it's with people who have actually done something like yell about a jewish conspiracy to destroy the white race, for example, but i'd hope the person who's face is being punched actually uttered that conspiracy and personally endorsed it, and weren't just some MAGA hat wearing chudd who's guilty by association.

people on this dead gay forum want all the legitimacy of punching nazis and white supremacists while simultaneously reserving the right to apply that label to anyone they (dis)like, whether its a conservative jew like Ben Shapiro, a microaggressing professor like Bret Weinstein, or an actual real life hatemonger like David Duke. if that level of intellectual laziness and opportunism doesn't scare you when it's paired with calls for vigilantism and violence against those so-labelled, then it should.

well, take 'based stickman' who got the name for being photographed attacking people while marching as a fascist. he calls for all muslim immigration to america to end on the basis that muslims are "filfth" on twitter, and also lists 'march of the titans:a history of the white race' as his favorite book on facebook and likes openly neo-nazi groups.

I don't think there is, which is a problem, because I don't see much of an issue with punching actual neonazis and klan members besides lingering concerns about normalizing political violence.

People are forgetting that before Richard Spencer caught one in the jaw and "see a nazi, punch a nazi" blew up as a meme, run-of-the-mill Trump supporters and alt-light commentators were being labeled as fascists and nazis. People are still being called nazis as a pejorative. If you want to reserve the right to punch nazis, then at least be rigorous and consistent in who you call a nazi, because you're inciting violence against whoever you label whether they deserve it or not.

now let's look at augustus invictus, who biolante defends as 'not a nazi'

well to start, he's a holocaust denier

quote:

“Do I believe that 6 million Jews were killed by evil Hitler? Is that what you’re asking me?” he said. “Okay, then I am still waiting to see those facts.”

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/15/holocaust-denier-augustus-invictus-announces-another-campaign-us-senate

Richard Spencer also credits him with the first draft of the 'Charlottesville Statement.'

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/article167083427.html

i dunno about his draft, but here's the first bit of what the final version of that document has to say

quote:

1. Race

Race is real. Race matters. Race is the foundation of identity.

“White” is shorthand for a worldwide constellation of peoples, each of which is derived from the Indo-European race, often called Aryan. “European” refers to a core stock—Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic, Latin, Nordic, and Slavic—from which related cultures and a shared civilization sprang.
2. Jews

Jews are an ethno-religious people distinct from Europeans. At various times, they have existed within European societies, without being of them. The preservation of their identity as Jews was and is contingent on resistance to assimilation, sometimes expressed as hostility towards their hosts. “Judeo-Christian values” might be a quaint political slogan, but it is a distortion of the historical and metaphysical reality of both Jews and Europeans.
3. The Ethno-State

Nations must secure their existence and uniqueness and promote their own development and flourishing. The state is an existential entity, and, at its best, a physical manifestation of a people’s being, order, and will to survive. Racially or ethnically defined states are legitimate and necessary.

i don't want to quote a neo-nazi manifesto in full but you can read the rest here: https://altright.com/2017/08/11/what-it-means-to-be-alt-right/

but hey, why not just check out the dude's website, where he calls out the hard-right for not being hardcore enough and calls for violent uprising:

quote:

Myriad indeed are the conservative networks. Legion in number, too, are the more hardcore right-wing publications. But none says what needs to be said.

None dares to say that the preservation of our way of life requires an insurrection of national scale. This is akin to a doctor refusing to tell his patient that the cancer must be cut out. “It would be better to talk it to death,” says this doctor. “Yes, the limb is rotting off, but perhaps with enough determination we can cause a standstill and come to terms with the fact that half your leg is lost.”

I'm extremely uncomfortable with how fast & loose people throw around the "nazi" label, especially now that we're normalizing violence against people labelled as nazis, but more broadly because i don't think playing the ad hominem game is healthy in the age of Trump when we should be more precise and more truth-oriented, and wary of feeding the narrative that all truth is subjective and reality is a la carte. that is not the same goddamn thing as defending that guy's views.

looking into it a bit more, of the remaining names on the poster there are some ho-hum conservatives and one guy (Navom) who agreed to attend before Charlottesville and ended up joining the counter-protest instead

and one black hearted villian

while gavin mcinnes has flirted with being a nazi, his true crime is laid bare by his wikipedia page:

quote:

McInnes has been called "the Godfather of the Hipster movement"[4] and "one of hipsterdom's primary architects".[5]

i mean he's probably a not really a nazi but are we really going to be that sad if he gets punched?

Somebody who went to the demonstration and stayed after the hardliners started chanting their Aryan slogans ARE NOT VICTIMS OF CIRCUMSTANCES. They made conscious choices to associate with explicit Naziism. THey could have left when the fanatics made their declarations to fight the Jewish conspiracy.

gonna go out on a limb and guess you have a different standard for the people who get swept up in police actions when they keep marching even after black bloc protesters start loving things up at G6 protests or whatever.

people were being labelled nazis for their thought crimes well before any of this poo poo kicked off in earnest (e.g. all the campus protests against people like Milo). "nazi" has been a generic slur that is used against anyone on the Right, or who is insufficiently woke, for a long goddamned time. but now punching nazis is good & encouraged, which means labelling someone a nazi is an incitement to violence against them. this is not an issue when actual nazis and white supremacists are the ones being labelled. but if you're going to argue for normalizing political violence in the limited scope of dispensing with capital-N nazis then you better be loving sure that "nazi" is more than just a weasel word, and that the person you're punching is actually a nazi.

People who carry water for Nazis, attend their events, speak with them, and signal boost them within the same grifting circuits, deserve to be punched just as much if not more so than capital-N actual factual Nazis. You're just going to have to make peace with the fact that being a shithead is going to have real world consequences, and all of these years of constantly pushing boundaries too see how far you could take free speech absolutism reached its breaking point when some gamer fascist ran over 20 people and killed one of them. Nobody is interested in these semantical games anymore.
