So by now you’ve probably seen the clip of white supremacist and noted shithead Richard Spencer getting punched in the face. If you haven’t, here’s what all the fuss is about.
God, that’s satisfying to watch, isn’t it? One moment he’s talking about his goddamn Pepe the Frog pin, and the next he’s getting smacked around like a ripe pinata. This is a man who thinks non-whites are predisposed to low intelligence and criminal behavior, who refuses to denounce the KKK, and who’s been caught using the Nazi salute. If there were a list of Americans who deserve to be punched, Spencer would be right near the top. No wonder there’s already a site dedicated to cataloging all the wacky musical remixes of him taking one to the cheek.
There’s just one problem – getting punched is exactly what Spencer and his ilk want. And it’s not even a sex thing.
The alt-right – the neo-Nazis – get to present themselves as the rational, wronged party. Meanwhile, the mainstream media that they constantly decry as biased are treating a crime (moral debate aside, it is illegal to just punch a dude in the face) as hilarious. Remember, the alt-right presents themselves as rational defenders of civilization bravely taking a stand against violent, repressive hordes who are trying to tear down the modern culture that white men worked so hard to build. Celebrating one of them getting punched in the face and then debating what music makes it funnier is the best propaganda they could ask for. And don’t take my word for it – they’re literally telling us that.
The Creepy Neo Nazi PR Strategy They Don’t Want You To Know
HE WAS ALREADY BEING INTERVIEWED. HE ALREADY HAD PUBLICITY. THE PUNCH KEPT HIM FROM DELIVERING HIS MESSAGE. NEXT TIME PUNCH THE INTERVIEWER TOO.
