I think its probably ok for it to be illegal. Fortunately legality and morality are so far removed that we can keep punching stupid racist neo nazis and other conservatives in the face and laughing at them.

white nationalism at least hides itself in good feeling economic populism very often

yeah so is global warming

at this point its probably also ok to commit violence against any persons or institutions that are climate deniers because of the danger of potential life lost due to climate change

this is getting a bit weird

Which parts? America first? Trump endorsed by KKK? Trump's speech written by a white nationalist?

"He 'calls for' genocide so I can justifiably punch him." This is incorrect. Those who respect constitutional rights know that

The constitution is a loving joke that mostly only applies to privileged people anyways

nobody is claiming that it's legal. we're saying it's moral.

Not only this, but I'd question the legitimacy of law in a system that is run by white supremacists. And to a much larger extent the legitimacy of the legal and justice system in the US where, people with monetary power or privilege can get away with almost anything, while black people are legally(this is key here, because laws and legality has no place in saying what is right or wrong) killed by police officers on an almost daily basis.

But your morality is completely useless. You just made it up yourself.

Who cares about your morality?

Who cares about laws? Some old rich white dudes just made it up themselves.

Nobody should be punched for mere speech, no matter how much you dislike it.

I think a fallacy in US society that a lot of people(especially white liberals and conservatives) have bought into is this notion that all acts of violence are equally wrong. This idea is something you often see on TV and in movies.

Punching a person because they're gay and punching a person because they're a nazi are not the same thing. The reasons why you're doing something are just as important as the thing you're doing.
