I think BraveSirZaphod is the sort who would condemn the guy who decked Richard Spencer. The only problem I have with punching Nazis (and all Republicans are Nazis now and have been since the Nixon administration) is that you’re likely to go to jail with a felony conviction. So if you’re going to put your life, liberty, and reputation on the line to physically oppose Nazism, why stop at punching Nazis? Why not just kill as many as you can, claim that killing Nazis is justifiable homicide, and hope the jury understands that they have the right to acquit even if the state proves its case beyond a reasonable doubt?
No shit, Sherlock. Why did you think I suggested it would only make martyrs out of morons? If I wanted to endorse political violence instead of merely expressing frustration I might have written something like, “Diocletian did nothing wrong.”
Political violence is bad, actually.
except for all those times when it wasn’t…
but any further violence is excessive. obviously.
