What about the argument that it clarified sides and generally accelerated things--that it sped up the inevitable conflict, and that it's better for that to happen sooner rather than later.

Any "side" that is associated with the Traditionalist Workers Party and such-like goons is utterly cooked.

There were easily six to eight-hundred people there. They represented every possible faction of the right, including some sad normies. You're basically falling for propaganda if you think Cville would have been fine if a dozen TWP guys didn't show up.

Charlottesville was blatantly organized as a Nazi-LARP, so I don't think that at all. No one who isn't an utter idiot should have been there. I've no doubt many harmless dupes were.

You've said the "nazi-larp" line before. Do you think any "right-wing folk activism" is nazi-larp? Or is it something more specific like the tiki torches?

I think his main objection is really more to the idea of anti-left political rallies in general, despite the "nazi larp" framing. Was any kind of public political gathering at all a good idea?

"Nazi-LARP framing" -- c'mon. They were begging for it. ...

... When Charles Murray gets Nazi-LARP framing, I'm sympathetic (in the extreme). When a bunch of head-banging Nazi-LARPers get it, I'm smdh.

Am I wrong about your general objection to any political rallies at all though?

No, you're right. Rallies are inherently grotesque.
