his probably does more to help him than hurt him. Some angsty teen sitting in his bedroom probably isn't going to get lured to the cause of white nationalism by someone screaming "Death to the Jews" on a Youtube video, but someone getting punched in the face simply for voicing their views (and a bunch of people cheering online afterwards) is a much better way to garner sympathy and attract followers. In essence, we're ceding the moral high ground to the white nationalists with this, which is a thing that should never happen.

There are people who dont like bullies and stick up for underdogs. This is true. At some point it doesnt matter what Spencer said, he will attract more followers just because an innocent(which is true) man got punched by an evil bully. You dont even need to know spencer is an actual white supremacist, because it doesnt matter.

Really, even though before I said I don't care spencer got punched, which is true, even if i think it was wrong, the fact is violence doesnt solve these problems. spencer can now roll over like a dog with a cone on his head and people will feel sympathy. The best way to counter spencer is a) use logic and facts in a calm and coherent manner to shut him down b) ignore him
