Thank you for at least making an argument, but I don't see how that follows. The right of self-defense has been substantially curtailed in modern liberal cities, and so to be arrested and claim self-defense is not remotely a badge of shame. While there are obviously going to be a few thuggish tards that get sucked into the hype just looking to fight for the sake of it, same as any visible movement, the intent of the group as a whole is pretty clear, which is the promotion of self-defense against political aggression. There's nothing morally wrong with "hit me first so I can knock you out" when the person that hit first also tends to be the one provoking. Obviously, if Bob goes around calling black people my pals for the purpose of provoking a punch, just to shoot in "self-defense", that is illegal, murder, and not valid. If Bob goes around at right-wing rallies wearing a MAGA hat without insulting anyone, and a leftist antifag punches him, he has every right to defend himself.
