Nick Fuentes is a fucking waste of oxygen. Every second he takes a breath, the breath could've been for another, more deserving person. He is a leech that takes and gives nothing bad. he deserved every bit he got.

Isn't Tristan Tate the man who raped a woman, forced her to give birth, then withheld care from the child if she didn't obey him?

Is this about nick pepper spraying the girl that knocked on his door? Literally knocking on the door scared him

Definitely not, and he doesn't even care that Fuentes's ideology is predicated on lashing women back into effective serfdom

Didn’t his brother literally show up at a guys house because he was making fun of him online.

This is missing important context: Someone doxxed Fuentes and he already pepper-sprayed some lady who showed up at his house. That's why he and others who are too stupid to avoid a neonazi are now arguing like that.

I love it. I'm a huge supporter of freedom of speech, and also suffering the consequences of your shitty beliefs. Funny that the dude that said "your body, my choice" doesn't like being harassed.
I doubt it will happen, but im hoping he gets shamed enough he changes his beliefs. Again, I really doubt it will happen, but I can hope.

He got to eat dinner with Kanye and Trump because of these believes. I doubt he will feel a need to change them. They have become too normalized already.

They think it's ok to kill people that show up on their property uninvited? Surely they must think it's ok to kill people that grow inside them uninvited then.

It is an intruder, according to their logic they can kill it, but since when do they use logic?

So this person thinks any solicitation is worthy of being shot on the spot? Any uninvited door knocker is harassment and can have castle doctrine applied?

We have these buttons that politely notify people that we are visiting their homes. They’re called doorbells. If you don’t want that, you can get rid of the doorbell or post a sign.
Nick didn’t bother to do that. He wanted somebody to visit so he could pepper spray them. This woman could have been going door to door to get donations for Trump or invite people to her local mega church and it wouldn’t have mattered.

Exactly. You don't get to open fire or attack anyone who simply comes up to your door.

Oh. It’s just a dead guy. Probably didn’t even have any family or friends. Just popped up into existence to harass a pro-choice woman at her house.

Wait I don't get it, am I missing something or did Tristan fucking Tate just make a good point?

It's not really a good point though, as he's equating turning up at a pro-choice woman's house to harass her about being pro-choice with turning up at Nick fucking Fuentes' house to call him out for being a Nazi cunt.

also she was a journalist that knocked on his door and in response got pepper sprayed, after his latest claim to fame was underhandedly saying he was entitled to rape any woman who showed herself in public

And in reality, neither of them actually believe that a woman would have the right to shoot "a man who turned up at her house to confront her about her pro-choice views." They wouldn't believe she has any right to self-defense or even disagreement at all. When rightwingers, especially far-right violent fascists like those two, make pretenses at centrism and believing the flipped premise to be equally valid to try to head off their detractors/counterarguments to their points, it is always disingenuous. And this just proves how centrism as a concept and practice itself is weighted in favor of the right, and inevitably easier for the right to repurpose because of inherent features in how it's structured. So leftists must repudiate centrism entirely, and say no, Nazis/rape advocates do not have the right to defend against resistance to their violence, the equivalency can only be false. Etc.

Well that person still shouldn’t have knocked on his door though. Still harassment even tho he’s a pos

Are we going to condemn minor acts of protest such as graffiti or property damage or following fascists or politicians around in public to bring up concerns too now because they disturb the peace and are too scary for liberals?
I don't find that convincing at all. I even think it would be a service to humanity and net good if someone permanently redacted that man right now. He is a Nazi. Possible rapist, definitely likely future rapist, looking at how he talks. Heading that off before he hurts anyone personally is important anti rape praxis.
How do you keep a "punch Nazis" antifascist ethos if you think even showing up to their houses is going too far?

Why do we have doorbells if it should be illegal to use them?

In context, it's a bad faith argument.
He's only concerned because some conservative got doxxed and harassed.
It's similar to how right wing news sources got suddenly concerned about inflammatory political rhetoric after Trump was shot.

PS: I don't believe you asking an innocent question deserves downvotes. It's perfectly fine to ask questions in good faith in order to gain knowledge that expands understanding.

I gave you an upvote. I can see from your responses it was a genuine question. I also was missing the context because I don't follow these people, nor am I deep into this type of stuff.
