A force multiplier like no other.
Note the current trend now, though. We're not demanding answers from the white nationalist who threatened to knock a kid's teeth out for carrying a cup; we're calling out the people who threw milkshakes at Robinson (or laughed about it) for making that white nationalist have to be so defensive like that. |

Dear god...you're doubling down...
I'll try this again: what we would call a 'normal' person would see a kid, who appears to be minding his own business, menaced by a pretty clearly violent man, and we might sat to ourselves 'hey, maybe this throwing food at nazi types isn't such a hot idea. Things could actually get pretty ugly, pretty quick'. But no: you go all Bill and Ted and think it's epic and awesome to see a child threatened. Not even a nazi child, which might be arguable. A kid being credibly threatened by an unhinged adult is epic and awesome. If you can't see how screwed up it is for you to be cheering this, there's really nothing more to say. |

Maybe this is where our disagreement lies. So far, Robinson and his "boyz" have only swung on people who actually threw milkshakes at them.
How convenient that the guy professing a desire to hurt one kid though, is "clearly a violent man", a real threat that needs to be taken seriously...now that you can use it as a vector to criticize me. Meanwhile the same guy or someone else like-minded standing on a corner professing a desire to ethnically-cleanse the country of millions of non-whites is just a silly clown, and people treating them as a threat that needs to be actively fought are just overreacting and making "mountains out of molehills". |

I have watched the Robinson thing with interest, and haven't really bothered commenting.
The dude is scum. How anyone can defend the football hooligan mass brawl starting thug is beyond my understanding. The dudes history is ugly reading |

Dear god...you're tripling down...
First off, you are comically wrong again. Maybe tragically too, but comically for now. The NYC guy did not threaten anyone, just calmly debated, as civilly as could be expected. The 'soldier'...not so much. Massive swing and a miss for Checkmite. Yet here you are posting about how violent the Robinson boyz are, and when presented with a vid of one, you suddenly opine that they are as docile as pussy cats. The humor is certainly lost on you, while raving about the awesome epicness of children being threatened. Does your mouth get tired arguing out of both sides of it like that? Seems tiring. |

Jesus goddamn Christ. The iconography he's wearing professes an ideology whose defining feature is ethnic cleansing. I guess as long as he doesn't say the words out loud, we're not allowed to take that under consideration when dealing with him?
I was raving about the awesomeness of a Robinson fan being scared of a milkshake. |

You need to get some rest. We're dealing with several sets of arguments at the same time. One camp says "You can't take them seriously, they're clowns" and when we riff on their oafish posturing, the other camp comes in with "OMG won't someone think of the children! He was threatening violence! How can you laugh at this?"
Which is it? Are you taking a hard line pacifist stance. All violence is bad? All threats of violence? I was a "peacenik" but never a pacifist. Meh? I think the nazi who threatened the kid was probably a great candidate for an egging at that point? You wanna reason with him? |

...quadrupling down...this is surreal...
No, there is no comparison between a guy wearing a trinket necklace and a guy actually threatening a child. One is strictly talk. The other is imminently and physically threatening a specific kid right in front of him. No. There is no comparison at all.
Quote:
Seriously, dude. This would be a stellar time to say 'you know what? The epic thing was misguided. Got caught up in it and didn't see what the dumbest ************ in the world could see, an adult threatening a child WHICH IS NOT ******* EPIC AND AWESOME'. |

Take that faux-indignation, examine it for a moment, and try to understand how genuinely threatened people like Darat feel, knowing that to them that trinket necklace literally expresses "Someday I fully intend to murder you and everyone ethnically similar to you."
Of course he didn't show any sign of fear. Dangerous animals often bare their teeth and growl when they feel cornered and threatened. Thing is, we have the contextual knowledge to know what he felt so threatened by - a McDonald's cup; and the fact that a McDonald's cup can provoke a fight-or-flight response in someone who obviously considers himself a tough-guy is utterly hilarious. |

Try to bear with me here:
The chump in the OP is seems to be a windbag, from his costume to his pseudo-intellectual BS on down. Soldier boy in the latest vid seems to be serious. I would be on guard around him. Do you see how these are two very different people, acting very differently? I do. So I treat them differently. If there are 'two camps' arguing here, I would say it is one camp painting everyone with the same brush, and the other acknowledging there are differences in how dangerous they appear. My camp is fond of 'hey, howzabout we take initiating any level of violence off the table? Things can get bad fast'. And the other sez 'nah, you can just throw food and stuff at them all, that's fine'. Adults are saying this. Ones who claim to champion skepticism and rationality on one hand and think they're rogue cowboys on the other. Foolmewunz: Do you think it's a good idea to cheer on a situation where an apparent loose cannon was getting ready to drop a kid? Something funny about that? Serious question. To me, it shows exactly why this is not a good idea to let yo alligator mouth getcha into things yo canary ass can't getcha out of. |

Well they were treated differently, weren't they? The one you think of as the harmless "windbag" is the only one of the two that got egged. Maybe the people choosing that particular channel of mockery are more discerning of their targets than you want to give them credit for.

...quintupling down...I just can't...i don't...hm...
I can only interpret your current argument a few different ways: 1. You got carried away cheering on your team, such as it is, and are still mindlessly trying to score points 2. You know you made a mistake, but won't admit it 3. You genuinely are the most precious of princesses and genuinely do not understand that things can go very bad and it's not a flipping movie where people waltz away unscathed when starting street confrontations |

Taking the time to snip out quotes says a lot about the poster.
The windbag did go after the egger, to refresh your evidently failing memory. When provoked, many will retaliate. My argument since my first posting here is that pro-eggers better think about what they are advocating. But what is this new argument you are presenting, now? Only go after ones that don't seem fiesty? That's a bully's rationale, is it not? Awfully courageous of you to advocate only attacking the weak. |

Yet again. They're harmless, toothless fools that nobody needs to worry about...except when it turns out they're not. So we mustn't ever laugh at them or make them angry, because we won't like them when they're angry. And if they get angry and do something, we're the horrible ones, because we made them do that by laughing at them.

Not so harmless after all, then?
If that is all, I'll do that, I promise. Now you're unabashedly portraying self-identified Nazis as tragic victims who are being treated very unfairly, and the people who are willing to stand up to their ideology and propagandizing as bullies. |

...never had to confront sextupiling down before...autocorrect doesn't even recognize the word...
As I have said...slowly and repeatedly...start a physical fight with someone...almost anyone...and they might fight back. You can actually bank on it. The OP blowhard showed no sign of doing anything but calmly debating- till he was assaulted. Which is what you are advocating. As I keep saying, if you fancy yourself a devil-may-care livin'-by-his-own-rules renegade butch boy, have at it. Live your fantasy. I'm a dad, and taught my kids that talk is cheap and not to pick fights, even if your adversary is weaker. You should talk with them about adulting. |

The OP's talk was cheap, yes. Egg boy decided to ramp it up and changed the game. There was no physical altercation till eggy boy initiated it. And that is what you are advocating, initiating violence. Grats, yo.

....and sometimes when you "calmly debate" to someone's face that they're a danger to children on account of being gay, or imply that they're violent rapists who don't belong in a white country, you might get egged (in the first case) or a milkshake thrown at you (in the second case). Those actions were not spontaneous; they were provoked.

Note, by the way, that nobody did anything to the man who was threatening the boy with the McDonald's cup. He was not provoked into making his threat by anything that boy actually did. Nor by anything that ANYBODY had done to him personally, at any time.
Nobody had thrown eggs, drinks, or fists at these three either.

...and here we are with the 'he maaaaaade me do it mommy. He staaaaarted it' argument.
Talk is cheap. The OP clown, whom you advocate throwing eggs at, is maybe not your best example of provoking a fight with words. I actually agree that you can get physical in response to some words. Sometimes with legal justification, and sometimes not. But even if someone calls your race a bunch of puppy sodomizers, or whatever you please as the insult, you are not the good guy for turning it physical. It might feel great, like when you see a woman throw a glass of wine in her boorish date's face on tv, but in real life there might be retaliation. And you would bear some responsibility for literally starting it. Serious question: what things (short of threatening imminent grave danger) can be said that you think justify assaulting the speaker? |

I didn't see what the run-up was in the very short twitter clip. You have a longer version that shows what happened leading up to the punk threatening the kid, yes?

This is exactly how you've been defending the reactions of the egged and milkshaked individuals, so what gives? "Egg boy decided to ramp it up and changed the game. There was no physical altercation till eggy boy initiated it." "The OP blowhard showed no sign of doing anything but calmly debating- till he was assaulted."
Then it sounds like you need to save your indignation for the guy who physically threatened that kid with the McDonald's cup that never actually touched him, and stop drafting whole pages of posts lecturing me over simply considering his attitude worthy of mockery and not being shy about saying so. For the purposes of this thread, let's stick to "espousing white nationalist propaganda". And I'm going to waste one last modicum of expectation of good faith out of you, and kindly remind you that you have already seen me specifically post that the only assault I'm willing to laugh at involves non-injurious eggings and splashed drinks. |

Well this is just like the LWB videos now, isn't it? Sure the video doesn't look good for the guy making the irrational threats, but something might have happened before the video clip starts, and it will never be fair to judge him as long no video of that before-time exists.

Yes. That's exactly how it works. Recall that the original egg boy's 69 year old 'victim' was not prosecuted because he had acted in self-defense and could not be prosecuted. Talk...is...cheap. Once you turn it into physical assault, no matter how petty, you just gave your victim a lot of license.
And yet again, I am arguing that this is a dicey game to play. Not nearly the yuk em up game you treat it as.

I get that you have argued yourself into a corner that I doubt you even believe in the arguments you are posing. I am ending up arguing along lines i had no intention of fighting, too. So I propose a truce: Can we agree that it is not a good idea to advocate starting a physical confrontation with strangers, via foodstuffs or otherwise? Can we further agree that (notwithstanding the above) it is tremendously satisfying to see nazis humiliated via eggs and milkshakes, and laughable in hindsight, so long as people are not actually injured while doing so? Can we lastly agree that we are both mostly fighting to win here and not presenting our most thoughtfully considered opinions? |

No. You made the claim, and I quote, that 'nobody did anything to the man who was threatening the boy with the McDonald's cup'. This claim is untrue. We have absolutely no idea what happened prior to the threatening. So your claim is false.
And I'll take this latest bob and weave as 'no, actually I have no idea at all what happened, but it sure sounded good'. |

...but neither was the original egg boy himself. From this fact it would seem that how it works isn't quite as straightforward as you characterize it.
I was busy mocking him. You think my use of the word "epic" was praise or approval of his actions?!? No, I don't "try to". I do. Directly, simply, and unequivocally. You can very easily egg someone in a way that bears no more chance for injury than walking silently past them (you can always trip unexpectedly and knock them over, causing them to break a bone for instance). Just because it is possible for people to do it in a negligent manner and cause injury, doesn't mean we can never permit it when done safely. We can license people and say we expect them to drive automobiles - an inherently risky activity - in a safe manner, and aren't hypocrites for charging them with any number of crimes up to and including homicide if they do so in a reckless manner that causes injury or worse. No. At most I will agree it's inherently risky and one should strongly consider whether they're willing to take that risk before doing so. Yes, this has been my attitude from the very beginning. Yes; unfortunately this describes me in most debates I have here. |

This whole thing has turned into a very silly discussion: Are Nazis so bad that their opponents are justified when they resort to the atrocity of egging them?!
Well, on the one hand Nazis and other fascists are actually bad, but on the other hand eggs don't really stop them from being so, so instead of focussing on our differences, it might be a good idea to take a look at the things that democrats and Nazis have in common, the things that unite them, so to speak. I mean, what makes so many democrats turn to fascism when democracy disappoints them? A couple of quotations from my friends at Ruthless Criticism:

Seems to be? I'm supposed to base my safety or that of my family or neighbors by how something "seems"? He's espousing serious nasty-assed doctrine. Ever been attacked by cretinous redneck morons just because you disagreed with them politically? The audience he's looking for is just those people.

They are more emotionally violent than physically violent. *And make no mistake, the soft-spoken intellectualizers are espousing that values of the Third Reich, not some Fascist Utopiastan. They're supporting and defending the bona fide card-carrying history-confirmed Nazis. And not just from WWII Germany. They're also real fond of the genocidal factions in the Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia Big Dance. Hey, they may not be lightning bolt wearing nazis, but any port in a storm!

And that is the extremely silly questions! My answer can only be more questions: Why is it so important to you to portray Nazis as the wronged victims of an act that is usually considered to be a fairly innocent prank?! Why don't you stick with the thread title, Another Nazi egged? Why are Nazis in your version turned into people? And why is egging turned into violence?! The thread title was short and concise. You (and yours) are dealing in weird abstractions in order to turn it into a horrendous crime: egging = throwing things (!) at people's heads = violence. Nazis = people. Somebody who disagrees with this absurdity of yours = violent idiot. OK, then I guess that according to your very weird new definition of the term I'm a violent idiot. |
