In most countries there's a monopoly on violence, and the implicit threat is that if you cross the line you'll be on the receiving end of it. Nazis fall strongly into the camp of people who should be aware of that threat, because if society does not uphold it, they are absolutely willing to exercise it themselves.
No, you're not. The point of violence against Nazis (state violence or otherwise) . "or otherwise" in the context of this US discussion, because in some places apparently state authority is not present. When all you have between a group of protesters and a bunch of nazis are citizens I think they have the right to use violence. But this is far from ideal or unproblematic and I said so a few days ago already. The larger point is that extremists should be so afraid that you do not have violence in the streets in the first place. Extremists only show up in large numbers if they already feel secure to do so.
If there's places without state authority (no idea, must've missed that part - the discussion moves quickly tho), then the correct thing to do is to increase state authority there, not condone vigilantism. That's such a slippery slope, i find it absolutely mindboggling that i have to point it out.
What i find even more interesting is, that if i recall correctly, you were vehemently against "Buergerwehren" in germany (me too btw, to make that clear). So how's that fitting together now?
edit: ahm.. Buergerwehren = pretty much militias. Just without guns/rifles.

I got all violence in one sweep, never need to do it again. This has been a very productive discussion.

Not entirely sure if going full Trump brings your point across though. You never go full Trump.

Yes I'm against citizen militias or vigilantism, but the trump tweet of "anti-police" protesters puts this whole thing into another context. Citizens standing up to fascists aren't "antifa anti police protesters". In this situation it's ridiculous to fall back to a criticism of "both sides". we can go back to critizing the antifa when they set trashbins and bikes on fire because they think they'll bring global capitalism down. I'll be the first one to point out how stupid that is.

he already denounced it.
you also shouldn't cross-examine/demand answers when you so often refuse to answer such things yourself; it's poor form.

Oh.
Want me to point out the blatant bias here, or do we just agree that the entire argument you made is because it fits your narrative, rather than actually being a solution (or even close to one)?
Sidenote, nobody here is calling the counter protesters antifa. In fact i had a go at farvacola (sry fam) for exactly that. I am very much able to distinguish between left wing extremists and counter protesters. You don't really seem to be able to though, wonder why that is.

I look forward to your delineation of quisling versus inappripriate behavior as it applies to the Charlottesville mayor.

because I'm not gullible enough to fall for a shitty rhetorical trick? The "denounce both sides" shtick is the exact same thing as "all lives matter". "what you support black lives matter? Clearly not loving all people makes you a reverse-racist, state immediately that you like white people!" No sorry man not going to fall for that one. If nazis take it to the streets they're responsible for the violence, absolutely nobody else and there's no reason to even remotely shift the responsibility or attention

go look up the meaning of the word; generally it means "traitor" particularly of the collaborator kind.
also, we've been talking about the boston case here, not charlottesville. try being more clear; and stop with the endless trolling.

No, one side are still Nazis that support Trump. You're are still parroting that false equivalence. This is like discussing right and wrong with a 5 year old.

One side are nazies that are intolerant and thus don't deserve tolerance. The other side is mostly peaceful protesters and a section of violent protesters that people don't really understand but don't care because they're in comparison to nazies.
Antifa are like jugglios of politics. Everyones okay with them as long as they stay in their lane and not try to be relevant.

And the thread has returned to its highest point in months, when we discuss jugglios.

I have yet to see you contribute anything to any discussion thus far, besides making circuitous arguments or just plain not answering anything.

Don't worry. I've seen little attempt to remain true to attacking Trump on angles you refuse to apply universally. When it's largely understood that principles can be changed to the situation, it's basically everything goes.

Danglars, when one side is being violent and the other side are Nazis then it's okay to condemn both sides. When one side are being violent Nazis and the other side are peacefully protesting the violent Nazis then it's not okay to condemn both sides. If you think the objection to Trump's condemnation of both sides was that it's never okay to condemn both sides, well, that's a dumb thing to think.
