“Right after Donald Trump was inaugurated as president in 2017 someone punched white nationalist Richard Spencer in the face on live television. This led to several days of the internet asking whether it is okay to sucker punch Nazis. (The answer, for those who missed that session, is that no, it is not okay to sucker punch people who have noxious views, because it is not okay to sucker punch people, period.) At the time I was deeply disturbed to see how many people were willing to endorse political violence. In retrospect, this seems almost quaint.” (09/11/25)
