          Unfortunately, it’s a hell of a lot more difficult to embarrass a Nazi. They don't have legitimacy to lose. In fact they gain legitimacy by marching unopposed, as if their swastikas and burning crosses were just another example of political free expression.

          By contrast, the far right do find being physically attacked embarrassing. Their movement is based on the glorification of victory, of white supremacy, of masculine and racial superiority, and scenes of white supremacists looking anything but superior undermines their claims.

            Yes, lots of leftists are reaching out for reasons why they should be able to assault people these days.

            The quoted part is also plain wrong. If physical humiliation turned people away Richard Spencer's career would have died overnight.

              The article is a faulty and strongly biased opinion.

                This is too!!!

                Unfortunately, it’s a hell of a lot more difficult to embarrass a libtard. They don't have sense of intellectual integrity to lose. In fact they gain legitimacy by spouting nonsense unopposed, as if their hypocritical bigotry and projection were just another example of intelligent discourse.

                By contrast, the libs do find being triggered embarrassing. Their movement is based on the glorification of liberalism, of intellectual supremacy and rationality, of superiority of libism, and scenes of libs looking anything but superior undermines their claims.

                  Why should I be trying to embarrass them? That's a stupid approach. I think they should be ignored because they get their jollies by being noticed. Being ignored is the antithesis of being intimidating. They have a burning need to be noticed, to feel relevant.

                    And yet a team of researchers from Harvard and MIT, hardly bastions of conservative thought, found that Breitbart is considerably less incendiary than its reputation would suggest. Here's what the New York Times had to say:

                    Source: New York Times

                    If you visited Breitbart ... [o]n any given afternoon, you were still likely to encounter headlines about ‘‘illegal aliens’’ invading the country, but if you clicked on the link, you landed on an article that was extraordinarily dry — usually just a rundown of some politician’s speech, or a dry recitation of governmental statistics. Not to say the site was no longer right wing — the act of choosing what to cover and how to position it with a headline is a powerful bias unto itself — but weeks could pass in which few of the articles on Breitbart had anything like the attitude and opinion baked into dozens of mainstream sites.

                    Look, man, when even the New York Times is coming to Breitbart's defense, you know it's time to give up on your false liberal narrative.
                    I did read the article, and the idea that one man's interpretation of a language study is definitive is ridiculous. Also, that quote you pulled is out of context. The writer is talking about current articles. Meanwhile, nothing you said has anything to do with my evidence. Stop grasping straws and either engage or concede.

                        Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

                          Libs's main attack is shaming, 'racist!!!' 'bigot!!!!' 'sexist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' etc etc. Used to work pretty well, with 'Nazi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' being worst insult.

                          But against people who proudly call selves Nazis, all this doesn't work!! So they now considering shaming through punching as new tactic!
                          Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

                            30 seconds later after saying punching Nazis is okay,

                            Libs: 'How can you say alt-Left is violent party too?????'

                                No, I get it, you reject any facts that conflict with your preconceptions, even when they come from a source you would ordinarily trust. The ease with which liberals operate under the constant pressure of the cognitive dissonance that is inherent to their ideology would make for a fascinating psychological study.
