My theory is that Richard Spencer is not, himself personally, a violent racist. He wouldnβt crease his suit by actually engaging in fisticuffs with Untermeschen!
He has people for that sort of thing, who are more than willing to do all the actual violence when he tells them to. Or at least, thatβs the way he would like to arrange things. #fascistlifegoals !
Spencer probably wouldnβt get his own hands dirty unless there was no chance he could be injured. Disagree he isnβt personally violent. A person who avoids doing violence with their own hands but encourages and instigates violence by others is still a personally violent individual. They use the other people like tools.
I was thinking more along the lines βI am not a violent man. I pay these men to be violent for me. This is not playing with semantics, because I am proudly anti-semantic.β
ETA: I took a very unpleasant trip through the cesspool of Helms quotes, trying to find a specific clip of him speaking about HIV/AIDS and the βperverse practices of homosexuals.β Sweet baby jesus, what a virulent piece of shit that man was. The Trumpists we have now are 10th generation xeroxes of the original.
