There's some very real political groups to oppose in Britain and Sweden, for example. I don't know in the US. The Alt Right are basically Nazi scum, but I don't think punching Richard Spencer accomplishes anything.

Like I mentioned around the time of that event, I think it actually mobilizes support for people like Spencer.

It most definitely does. It gives some valid arguments to the opposition, so it's just a stupid tactical move. Along with being ethically questionable.

If fascism continues to rise, then there will be a time where some principles should be discarded in favor of putting in all bets on stopping a fascist movement. We're not there yet, but an eye should be kept on the rise of these movements. Especially here in Europe, there's some worrying political trends.

Duh. That's what led to the Holocaust.

Isn't this what won Trump the election? Just in different context?
