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.

Pretty much this. The NRx crowd mapped out the entire reason something like Charlottesville would eventually happen to the Right-Wing Folk Activists. But it *needed* to happen for many of them to see it. And better it happen sooner than later.

This makes a huge amount of sense, but I don't think it's what

... If the argument is "Charlottesville was important, because it demonstrated that any kind of identification with Nazi-LARPing street thugs is a calamity," then I'm in.

Well, what I was thinking was "Charlottesville was a success because it made the left more explicit about their goals (if anyone was actually confused) and sped up their end game." Of course, getting eliminated sooner isn't really better.

one constructive effect was to underscore that the left will not allow for any outer-right visibility in conventional political activism they deny all legitimacy, so for outer-rightists to put any faith in the system is madness

Thankfully, the mainstream popular response seems to have been "This is more pitiful than scary". More sane than it deserved, frankly.
