In the last two days I've been called an "amplifier" of "fascism" for: 1) saying that people should not be beaten for their speech 2) saying that antifa is likely contributing to support for authoritarianism I'm not "playing" a "sport." If someone hits me, I did not ask for it.

Thank you for being the one person who understood the point. Everyone else hallucinated that I was in favor of punching innocent bystanders and whatnot.
I never implied that you were in favor of punching innocent bystanders. I'm deeply confused about what modeling this as a game buys you in contexts where it's clear that some participants are not playing consensually & thus can't influence the rules.

IMO it's a mess. Some go to toss milkshakes, some want to take a bucket list punch, some want to draw blood or worse. Some pack silly string, some arm up. Any "fascist" is fair game, but nobody knows how to define "fascist." I don't think they even know what they're capable of

This last one was smack-dab in the middle of downtown Portland. People with actual responsibilities have jobs to get to and from and errands to run. It's not clear that *any* of the several people who were seriously injured were associated with either Antifa or the Proud Boys.

We can walk back their reasoning and formulate an effective counter message, if indeed they’re playing a game with a fixed set of rules (assuming we can figure out what are they).

Isn’t this entire debate about Antifa and their supporters saying, “we say Andy isn’t a journalist (and is thus, somehow, fair game)”? Why on earth would you assume their rules are fixed or allow masked thugs to decide the rules in the first place?
