SAG Awards "Punch some people in the face"

[TITAN308]

The overall message was a good one, but his uncontrollable shaking and then paraphrasing at the end to punch people in the face kind of ruined the whole thing. However the crowd seemed to accept violence as a means to an end with their cheering.

At the end of the day, I doubt any of these people are going to punch people in the face. However some of their less intelligent fans may take it literal.

Not sure what's going on in the gif but I cracked up.

I think his co-star was a little caught off guard by his ranting.

That and it shows how emotionally over saturated the guy is and is shaking like a crackhead. If you watch the video it just gets progressively worse (his shaking).

We cannot have these threads without this gif.

No, not just the less intelligent ones.
The message was clear: The hunt for the alt-right has begun.

I never got this comparison. Do you really want to return to a time like back when Nazis existed? I'm sure black people and woman would have a word with you.

I thought we were elevated beyond this kind of stuff?

Yes. Fear. We must live in fear at all times!

Taking the speech out of context to make a point doesn't usually go well. Perhaps link the entire speech and then disagree with the parts you don't like.

"Repel bullies" then tells others to punch people in the face. He doesn't get that he is the violence inciting bully.

What? The entire video is at the link.

You want me to transcript the entire thing? lol

[Traveler Voltin]

So can i start punching celebrities in the face then?

[Darkeon]

"I don't condone violence.... BUT...." seems to be awfully regular around these days :P

The problem with that is the "hunters" think anyone right of Chomsky is the "alt-right"

[TITAN308]

Who needs Nazi's when we have the alt-right?
It's not like the Nazi's started an ideology, they aren't the first nor were they the last to promote ultra-nationalism.

Ok in your post you never actually answered my question.

"Punch them in the face" in the context of his speech is an obvious euphemism for "stand up to bullies". How are you people not getting this?

If you incite violence because speech hurt your feelings, you're still the bully.

No the alt-right seem to pretty clearly identify themselves.

Hopefully people don't start thinking that this is going to solve anything, because its not. You don't change minds by punching people in the face, you just make them resentful and feeling justified in obtaining vengeance.

I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way but this is a quote from Michiavelli:

“At this point one may note that men must be either pampered or annihilated. They avenge light offenses; they cannot avenge severe ones; hence, the harm one does to a man must be such as to obviate any fear of revenge.”

Now of course I'm not advocating destroying people. I hope we're more complex than that. But the point is that light offenses leave only resentment and cause for grievance. Obviously there are other solutions.

This isn't an incitement of violence. And it has nothing to do with speech hurting someones feelings.

Are you guys robots or something. There's this thing called context....

I mean look in this thread, you already have on person that condones violence against words.

That is what I said, some people may take it literal even though it was a paraphrase coming from a Hollywood actor.

I know what he meant, you know what he meant. However one cant dismiss the masses of stupid people who worship their TV.

"Punch some people in the face" is inciting violence.

Words matter.

This idiot called for the physical assault on those you politically disagree with.

You can try to soften the message, but it is clear to hear.

Words matter.
