It's funny too since Sargon of Akkad is allowed to have a channel after harrassing feminist on youtube. Fuck YouTube
I'm not normalizing Nazis.
I just think they should be allowed to walk around openly and insult minorities as they please.
Just sayin'.

How did you miss the two huge PewDiePie threads?
I don't think anyone in this entire thread has said this.
Why do you guys continue to keep making shit up?
No it fucking isn't. Try again if an Antifa holocaust happens.

When did I say you did?

I'm sure they would. "Violence is never ok but I get it" "Shouldn't have hit him" "Should have just reported it" - some would be first page responses.
But I'm curious as to why you think that? You said no one would defend the guy saying the N-word, including you. So, why is a Nazi defensible but a man saying the n-word is not?

It's also disturbing how quickly some people in this thread feel threatened by a simple little comment about me not liking the normalising of Nazis.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
No, but there's a Rick and Morty one.
YouTube is taking down the videos, here are New links.

Why are you more worried about the punch than the Nazi wearing a swastika and harassing people
I don't think that's fair. There is a way to go, for sure, but improvements have been made before and could be made again (e.g., Sanders abolishment of private prisons).
Though, despair that public institutions are broken is self-fulfilling, so if your country keeps at that long enough, you will be right.
"I didn't say this explicitly I only implied it with my posts and rather than clear anything up I'll keep trying to pretend like that didn't happen".
Really? The Pewdiepie and Bill Maher threads says otherwise.
There is a defense force for everything.
That's nice to wish for but that's not the reality we live in.
The Rick and Morty one made me wonder actually.
Yeah, well, law enforcement won't do shit, so we either let them operate unabated or we do something about it. I'll take door #2.

People will stop making assumptions if you expand on your original post.
Then what do you do to a white man,who wear Nazi symbol, harass a black man. And tell me how you will "Change his view on the world" too while you at it.
Go ahead.
Nazi sympathizer came out of the woodwork. Thread like this trigger them more than a white nationalist get call a Nazi.

well, they can't defend him any more
I'm late but a good post like this can't be quoted enough
So do you have anything deeper to add to the nuance of this case rather than a blanket "violence is bad?" Because clearing up your position would make your first post less confusing
That's what the arguments boil down to. So long as Nazis aren't actively throwing blows or shooting people or running people over, we need to respect their rights as biological human beings. In the case of this guy, people are more concerned about the unconvincing slippery slope implications of him being ratted out via social media than the fact that he believes my black ass should be dead and was willing to openly show that today. People have also suggested calling the cops, not realizing that they're both complicit to white supremacy and the fact that technically the Nazi piece of shit wasn't doing anything illegal, meaning the cops couldn't really do shit to him either
and we can't make what he stands for illegal either because if we outlaw Nazism then the first amendment is ruined or some fuck shit like that.
People effectively want us to do nothing except talk to them as if they are open to a fucking conversation, which ultimately means people want us to do nothing.
What's funny is the "good 'ol boys" that seem to be in some instances drawn to this Nazi ideology these days - the deep south, poor, rural, white, etc - I've actually spent a lot of time with them earlier in my life when I used to tend bar at a country music line dancing place.
And MOST of them strongly adhere to a kind of "street justice" ethic. Talk shit to someone and you can expect an ass whoopin - that sort of thing. No need to get the cops involved.
There's a diversity of opinion just like with every social group, but I bet MOST of them, the ones I served beer to, would probably respond with something like "Well what did he expect? Talk shit get hit" when shown the video. They have a lot on common with black urban youth when it comes to that, in fact. Distrust of the police, handling their own shit, etc.
Then again I haven't worked at that place in over a decade - pre-Obama - when things were calmer. As a community they may be more radicalized, now.

Calling him a "piece of shit" is ridiculously unnecessary. Remember, he's not a Nazi, or a Nazi sympathizer. As far as I've seen, he hasn't espoused the belief that you should converse with Nazis in order to find a cozy middle with them.
Rather, he's someone who hesitates to believe that we've reached a level of hopelessness where resorting to violence can be done without apprehension. He's probably someone you can dialogue with, even if you passionately disagree with what he's saying.
Criticize iapetes all you want, but he's not walking around with the forum equivalent of a Nazi armband. I would think he's not an avenue to vent whatever insults you'd like to dish out.

I love everything about this story.
I haven't seen anyone here suggest that. "Talking" to them isn't going to change anything. It would be completely pointless.
I'm curious though, what do you think the solution is?

they can and they do. no matter what he does people will just say, "he's just joking around."
To add one small note to this whole half-hearted "violence is bad" debate. That argument, in the face of reoccurring historical oppression, violence, and injustice, is an argument made from a position of privilege. Violence, for the oppressed, has often been the road to justice, reform, and freedom.

That felt good to watch. also fucking YouTube sure was quick to take that video down while leaving the thousands of racist trash videos that do far more damage to people.
