> This person and the people killed at Charlie Hebdo were not fascist
They were if you define Fascism the same way certain religious groups do.

I mean, ffs, read the first few paragraphs on the guys wikipedia page before you defend him.
The fact you think I am is why I don't want you hitting people for being "fascist" when you don't know what the Hell that is.
Maybe they know the word better than you, though? Maybe they're not as oblivious to the dog whistles.
Well, either way, I don't really care where "the line" is here, because Richard Spencer is so clearly over it, it's a ridiculous argument to make. Because actually, often it is quite clear.
Look up the history of Weimar Germany. That's what "hitting Fascists" accomplishes. Anyone who wants that must be a Fascist, like you.
If you can level a criticism at violence during the Weimer Republic, it's that is was too unfocused, with monarchists, social democrats and communists (who, indeed, were the original organization structure known as "Antifaschistische Aktion", or colloquially, Antifa) all beating each other up as much as they did nazis.
