Yes, I freely admit that I am a bigot towards people that are bigoted towards me. I definitely look at people who are racists as beneath me. I feel superior to them morally, spiritually, and intellectually, and I do believe it is okay to punch them in the face. If that makes me a bigot, that is what I am. And that is…

It doesn’t matter if your family can sue, you are already dead! You are dead. The first amendment isn’t a shield, it is ONLY protection from prosecution. And it isn’t even guaranteed protection from that. If you call and make a bomb threat to a hospital you can still be convicted, if you swat someone you can still be…

No, you are NOT PROTECTED from assault. They can only press charges after the assault has happened. You are still responsible for the consiquenses of what happens to you after you say something. The law doesn’t apply to the real world. There aren’t magically cops everywhere to stop everything.

Go to Detroit and go up to a group of black men and practice your right to free speach by calling them all the N-word. You will see how only being punched in the face might be a nice thing. Like I said your actions have consequences, and yeah just because things are illegal doesn’t mean it isn’t common place for those…

I’m pretty sure that dude became a hero when he punched a Nazi.

If it looks like a Nazi, moves like a Nazi, and quacks like a Nazi, I’m just going to call it a Nazi.

I would commit assault on a nazi. I would do jail time for it too lol I don’t give a fuck. It would be a small price to pay. And as far this causing more people to become nazis, I hope it does. I actually like for you to be an outward racist better than a closeted, “I’m not a racist but...” kind of racist. At least I…

Correct, assault doesn’t violate your first amendment rights. If you say offensive things there will be consequences, You are not protected from those consiqueces by your right to free speech. You have the right to say anything, but that doesn’t mean someone won’t punch you for saying that thing. Get it?

Logic doesn’t work on right wingers; if it did, they wouldn’t be right wingers. Most people will have tried logic before throwing punches at Nazis. Guess what? Punching at least shuts up the damn Nazis, if only for a while.

Yeah, he’s ten times more known as a Nazi who got his shit slapped. And given that the alt-right’s stated goal is to NOT be associated with Nazism (while upholding all its principles) being known to 99% of the world as “the punchable Nazi” is the opposite of what Spencer would want.

Punching Nazis is radical but it isn’t liberal. Unless you’re liberally punching them? Don’t be on the side of the Nazis. That’s important.

The more known he is, the more he can get punched. Either you agree with the Nazi, or you don’t agree with the Nazi. His ideas are pretty clear and obvious, and I can’t imagine anybody being on the fence when it comes to genocide. You’re either willing to consider it or you reject it.

Sure, and 10x more likely to be punched for his bullshit beliefs.

Ain’t political. Can’t be. Ethnically cleansing is not a political stance. Any kind of support of it, is not political.

I wonder how many folks will take a swing at this and miss the implicit message; my guess is that the number will be fairly low, given that the initial audience is likely to be comprised primarily of folks who were already on board with the message the parody is trying to send—but still.

As for the existential…

Pretty sure the real reason is all the profiles MSM news outlets did on him a few months ago. I already knew who he was before he got punched. Now I know who he is and that he got punched.

So he’s more well-known, and? I’ve seen this argument that the incident will somehow cause a growth in white supremacist groups, but the hypothetical person who becomes a neo-Nazi because Richard Spencer got punched in the face did not take much pushing.

10x more well known as the Nazi who got punched by a random hero.

Man, it almost looks like you pulled that number out of your ass
