The nazi punch that echoed around the world

Alt-right leader Richard Spencer got punched on live TV: 

I’m so tired of seeing people celebrate this retarded stunt.
First of all, I can’t believe the amount of people cheering over a sucker punch. Quite possibly the most cowardly way you can attack someone, and people let their morals out the window as soon as it happens to someone they dislike.
They are literally cheering on a coward. Spencer was fully immersed in his TV interview when it happened, his guard was down, and the perp ran away like a 5-year old kid.
It wasn’t even that great of a punch. Even with the element of surprise he wasn’t able to knock someone out. And now we see the progressive feminist left mocking Richard Spencer for being weak and unmanly:

So they’re maintaining the exact same heteronormative macho bullshit they usually claim to be against. Isn’t that interesting? Apparently heteronormativity is only a problem when you can’t use it against someone.
Also note that they never adress how the person who punched Spencer literally is a shit-eating submissive sex-slave: https://alt-right-news.blogspot.se/2017/01/spencer-attacker-revealed-to-be-shit.html (Warning for graphic images)
If you’re gonna talk about manlyness then fucking do it correctly.
Last, but certainly not least, thanks to the punch Richard Spencers popularity soared.

And if you search “Richard Spencer” on Twitter, all over social media you can see leftists laughing at how funny it is to see “the wicked evil man guy” get physically assaulted. But as usual the feminist left is prioritizing feelings over logic, and this is exactly why you are losing.
A punch is not a counter-argument. A punch will not change someones worldview. And it will certainly not deflate the frustration people feel over what the politicians are doing to your country. All you’ve managed to accomplish is to give a man notoriety, without challenging his ideas. As such, you’ve only furthered the scope of said ideas.
You might think poorly of Richard Spencers vision for a utopian society, but the alternative you’re providing isn’t much better. Reasonable people don’t want to live in a world where you get punched for having unpopular opinions.
Also, it is interesting to see how ANTIFA has spread to America. I see pundits all over the place talking about what a new phenomenon this is, to see violent leftists who actually attack right-wingers. We’ve had them here in Sweden for a long time, and they’re an interesting bunch. They believe that smashing someone’s apartment makes society a better place:

ANTIFA was born as a counter-reaction to nazism. We had a real problem with that in the 90’s here in Sweden, with skinhead gangs running around the streets beating up immigrants for no reason other than blatant racism. So ANTIFA was born as a defense for immigrants and left-wingers who were physically attacked solely for having “the wrong thoughts” or “the wrong skin”. And at one point in time it was actually about fighting back against racism. Now, however, it’s just become it’s own ideology with it’s own fascist tendencies.
You know what the worst part is? I think Richard Spencer is a moron. Seriously, the dude said that only white people deserve to explore space, and that being an immigrant is “pathetic”. He’s literally saying that people running for their lives are pathetic. He’s the epitome of a spoiled, privileged white male. Something that SJWs usually talk about as a fantasy, he actually embodies.
But even with all that in mind, the left is FORCING me to respect him. Because it’s so terribly easy to stand up for your opinion when you got the entire media establishment holding your back. In fact, it’s so easy, that I’m disgusted by how spoiled people are when they don’t understand basic principles like freedom of speech.
If you can’t even provide a counter-argument to Spencers claims, then you’re dumber than he is. Should it really be that hard?
Violence is not the best way to fight racist views, and I suspect that the violent antics from the left is only going to empower the right. Because then they can easily point and show who the most civilized ones are.
