state of emergency in charlottesville. all day like i knew that something would happen but you couldn t pay me to believe that it would have been a car. i really would have thought it would have been something with a gun. our streets! our streets! i don t know how many people
the mainstream opinions. that s free speech. another political opinion. and charlottesville happened. it s like oh, no. it s not just another political opinion. this is actually just about violence. i think it took the events that happened in washington. i think if the insurrection would have never happened, we wouldn t have a victory. in charlottesville. i m a if i recall believer in free speech. i m a firm believer. i m for the first amendment. free speech ends and shuts down when violence occurred. the backlash from sh charlottesville crushed the alt right. those specific groups. but didn t crush white power itself. the right decision was made. we have so much work to do on the ground in local government. and state government. and our federal government. nazi all the defendants in the case are destitute. none of them have money. will you reduce the damages. we have to make a motion to
violence and incarceration. before charlottesville, the organizers told me part of the propaganda strategy was to look like their ideas were so powerful and so dangerous that the state had to violently suppress it. they wanted to go out there and i get arrested because it made them look like victims. it was essential to the propaganda strategy. they said they want to show their ideas are being violently repressed. this is cantwell at the scene macing someone. cantwell was bragging about this on his website. police are nowhere to be found. i do not want violence with you. i m terrified. i m afraid you re going to kill me. i really am.
charlottesville is a success? this is our speaker for the night. did you do it on purpose and do you feel bad about it? it would have been better if they [ bleep ] me and shut the [ bleep ] up. the alt left and right were fighting back. did you plan to follow the law in charlottesville? did the lawsuit push you out of the movement? it was absolutely essential to the propaganda strategy to look like a victim. the alt-right stopped activism by wore out their usefulness because their views
stupid freaks. it should have always just simply been about richard spencer. i m not going home. i looked back on all of it and i kind of cringe a little bit. there was maybe some good aspects of it but a lot of things i regret. looking back on charlottesville, i think it s remarkable that it wasn t worse in terms of casualties to be honest. so what exactly do you regret? it s a big question. the problem is we don t have time machines and talking about them is just kind of speculative. so you can t name one thing you regret? well, what could i have done that could have, say, i guess you could say that not only would i have not agreed to go to charlottesville but i would have tried to stop charlottesville
