Reminder: The punch Richard Spencer took for being a nazi was not caught on camera. He was punched for talking about memes in real life like it was 2005 or something.

What do you mean 2005? Memes are more well known and discussed about today.

The guy who said we should seriously consider whether or not we need the "black race" is scared to leave his home to promote his ideology. Yep, gonna say that's a good thing.

Does this guy refer to memes in every conversation?

serioustalk: i had no idea who richard spencer was until he got punched in the face, now suddenly i'm seeing him everywhere and he has a platform to play victim on and be listened to, because he got punched in the face

i suspect i'm not the only person who learned about richard spencer this way

what i'm saying is that punching people because you don't like their opinions seems pretty dumb and counterproductive, moral arguments notwithstanding

yeah, i had never heard about this guy before

It is likely that Richard Spencer is playing up the danger he feels he is in, in order to get sympathy from milquetoast liberals who haven't figured out yet that American society is currently in a battle against fascism. I hope he actually fears for his safety, but he probably doesn't. Not yet, anyway.

Could you explain in your own words what you think that "battle" and "fascism" mean.

Yeah it's like, this poo poo happened quite literally within living memory. "It could never happen here" is naive as gently caress considering Hitler was taken as a joke right up to the point where he seized power.

Edit: Not to mention we are watching half of America deny the reality right before their eyes, and "you" somehow think that they'll wake up if fascists seize power. No, they'll blindly follow their fascist Strongman as long as he pisses off liberals.

I don't think that Trump is a fascist.

Look, if we say it's okay to punch Nazis, I bet sooner or later we'll start to justify violence against any racist anti-Semitic homophobic authoritarian hate group. It's a slippery slope here.

You mean like communists?
