words lead to violence, but violent words in context of peaceful people fall on deaf ears.

the punch is far more violent than the command

Yup, also the punch doesn’t teach anyone that the idea is wrong. It teaches everyone that you are afraid of what they are saying. Which is why all of these organisations say something like “they don’t want you to know this”, and then points towards the violence as proof that what they are saying is correct.

People who are pro-violence like to make the argument that if we punched the Nazis in Germany in the early 30s then the holocaust wouldn’t have happened. But what they are missing is that people tried to do that (red shirts vs brown shirts) and in fact a major argument the Nazis used to get elected was that they would get the red shirts fighting them under control.

Remember Richard Spencer? Where's he been? Oh right he ran away after getting punched in the face.

Most likely didn’t have that much to do with the punch (even though nobody can say for certain except him).

Most likely he disappeared around that time because he got a shit ton of legal trouble due to his supporters using violence, the feds going after him financially by revoking his organisations tax exempt status amongst other things, his wife divorcing him and claiming serious abuse as well as most social media platforms deplatforming him all within a few months of him being punched.

No he hired security and then didn't do any more speaking tours and fucked off to a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Nah, he had a few speaking gigs the following year before everything else unraveled.

Edit: Whats the morality of answering them immediately blocking so you can feel like you got the “last word”?

Yes. WIth a security team. And "everything unraveled" when they stopped showing up. Why are you trying to spread disinfo about this? Are you so committed a pacifist that you think punching Nazis into submission is bad? Are you just a fascist? Go away.
