If you want to exercise your free speech to say some hateful rear end poo poo and talk about how you think other races should be exterminated, engage in violence against people, kill a person, and talk about how you want to engage in violence to the media then maybe you should expect people to have a pretty loving negative reaction. People are going to take that poo poo seriously.

Machiavelli's views on violence are relevant here. Use enough to solve the problem or don't use it at all. Splendid displays of fisticuffmanship aren't helping any more than outnumbering them 100:1 so stop fantasizing about it.

It's not a a hard concept at all. The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.

but I'll still back that guy when he is punching Nazis, then go back to dealing with him when the Nazis are gone.

You can get punched in the jaw for saying a lot of poo poo in America to the wrong people at the wrong time in the wrong place.

My mother called me after that Nazi rally because she was upset by it. Call me old-fashioned but these assholes upset my mother, you know? I don't care if it's against the law I'll punch a Nazi over that. They have an upsetting-my-mother debt to be repaid.

I was going to punch my uncle because he said some unforgivable things to her, but I haven't because he isn't invited to her house anymore. I would've had problems the one time I've seen him since, but it was at a church during a wedding -- so everyone was on their best behavior.

I mean we've got to have some standards.

Fair enough, I wasn't thinking about their recruiting efforts. I was addressing how they'll hide behind everyone else's desire to not have the world be a violent, unstable place while working very hard to make that exist for their targeted minorities. Letting them go and not confronting them in the current environment just lets them target who they want and manufacture that violence anyway.

The time for letting peaceful condemnation and governing bodies take care of the problem ended when the head of that body publicly gave them permission with his speeches and started slinging pardons.

Yeah, I was mostly agreeing with you, just quoting you out of convenience. It was aimed more at the people arguing against nazi-punching/antifa.

Right now, fisticuffs is the right amount of violence. Have you noticed how the Nazis are terrified and barely showing up now? This is what I meant by hurting recruiting. The more crying and cowering Nazis get filmed and put up on social media, the fewer of the recruits and non-hardcore show up. Fascists worship power and being the one that's punching. When they see other fascists getting punched, they don't want any part of it.

Fascists worship strength, their recruiting is directly linked to how strong and successful they seem. Making them seem like victims is bad for them and directly hurts their recruiting. Punching Nazis is not only good, it's necessary.
Nazis are like Klingons. How did Riker survive when he served on that Klingon ship? The Bird of Prey? He found the biggest Klingon on the bridge and punched him.

The fighting words doctrine is an antiquated leftover from when dueling was a problem. It makes sense If you assume humans are so retarded they HAVE to fight to the death if someone calls you a liar.

All for it because a steady dribble of poo poo constantly tanking his numbers is a good thing.

That being said, I almost don't care anymore. What's he going to do, license the office of the presidency for personal profit? Be a hateful bigot encouraging violence? Be a mentally unstable piss baby destroying our credibility in the world? Violate the constitution by taking foreign money to set policy? Abuse presidential pardon powers?

What even counts as a "big story" anymore? Again we need the steady drumbeat of poo poo, but at this point just let me know when there's consequences to any of his actions.

What's more annoying is that feels like it's mostly lurkers/non-regulars who are drive by poo poo posting to tell us that punching Nazis is bad.

Like I expect contrarian opinions from Godholio and Dead Reckoning (and as Professor Bling put it better than I could, welcome from them for various reasons) but it's aggravating when it's someone who's sole posting in the CE thread is about how Nazi punching is bad.
