This meme was made with Diversity and Comics in mind. I am a left-leaning individual unlike Diversity, and when I first heard about this man I believed that he was actually a member of the alt-right. I was listening to him to prepare counter-arguments. Then I realized I was wrong about his being a Nazi. This is apparent in his agreement with the statement that the alt-right "saving comics is like Russia "saving" Poland from Fascist Germany," (53:44). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyBmzrGfV8o&t=5594s.
This is just one example, but there are several others in which it is evident that he is not in the Neo-Nazi camp, merely that he disagrees with the left. Sure, I may not see eye to eye with him on a number of issues, but I think it is important to realize who is actually a Nazi and who isn't. Although I didn't join Antifa, (it helps I didn't live in a state that is Conservative so I'm the most left-wing of my friends). I did, however, patrol YouTube, Yahoo, and Facebook comments and wrongly used social media to label people I didn't like as Nazis. I mocked the concerns of Trump voters and wrongly labeled them to justify my disdain for them. I may not have participated in actual violence, but a part of me wonders if I accidentally galvanized a few individuals who in turn mistakenly hurt someone who they thought was a Nazi, but wasn't. Regardless, I did participate in the online onslaught of Trump and his people, so I carry some of the guilt.
I don't regret actual Nazis potentially being punched as a consequence to what I've said, but I've come to realize that censoring and street fighting actual Nazis only benefits them. Nearly a century ago, the Nazis used street fighting as an excuse to form a paramilitary and to eventually take over the country. Today, they use it to try to shape the narrative in a way that makes them more appealing to moderates. That is why we must not play into their hands, and to use our speech to expose them for what they truly are.
