I think the point he was trying to make is that as look as dumb rednecks keep doing shite like that it will just add fuel to the flame.

Of course!

And yet...can we not admit that we're steering into a chicken or the egg situation here worrying about who started what? Can we not admit that these fricking loons and their swastikas were a reaction to the recent movement to tear down monuments that no one has cared about...ever? Sure...these idiots were around before but no one cared about them/ But NOW these white idiots have something they can use as a rallying cry to react to...right?

And then, as you suggest, when they react to what they have perceived as bullshite from their "other side" then the other side gets to react back.

And so on, and so on...

My point is that anyone pointing ONLY at these fricking "Nazis" as the reason for there now being a huge violence issue is missing the greater point, which is that all of us in the middle (and I don't literally mean the exact middle but the middle in terms of being left of Nazis and right of Antifa) are being lead around by the nose by the fringiest of the fringe.
