What I got out of it was that just ignoring the fascists that go to speak on left-leaning college campuses doesn't really work. They do this as a power move rather than to get noticed, and usually attack/intimidate minorities on campus one way or the other when they show up. "I'll hurt them (minorities) in order to hurt you (white leftists/libs)". He encourages everyone, especially white people, to be anti-racist and protest the hell out of these fascists because showing that you have power in numbers is a great way to respond to them and avoid minorities from getting hurt in the process.

    It feels like encouragement of violence.

    I get the cause, I understand the motivation but... have we really arrive at the point where we have to give up on deradicalization of alt-right electorate?

    I totally get a person of colour getting personally attacked by racism and responding with equal violence but a white dude policing racism in his closed circles is... weird

    It still feels like a white dude getting offended on behalf of someone whom he doesn't even understand all that well. And the race is just one example.

    Imagine your white friend Bob tells that your behaviour upsets Kurdish Christians. Like how do you respond to that? Should you drop everything in your life and learn about Kurds and their traditions? And do that every time someone corrects your behaviour?

    Can you provide a timestamp where violence is encouraged? I still have to watch this one but I've seen every other Alt-Right Playbook video, and encouraging violence would be a 180 from the previous videos.

    What is weird about being anti-racist and pushing back against racism if one encounters it among people they know?
