According to The New York Times, Andrew Anglin, whereabouts unknown, could be on the hook for a bit of cash.
The publisher of a neo-Nazi website should pay more than $14 million in damages for encouraging "an online anti-Semitic harassment and intimidation campaign" against a woman in 2016, a federal magistrate judge in Montana recommended on Monday.
In his opinion, the judge, Jeremiah Lynch, also recommended that the publisher, Andrew Anglin, be made to remove all blog posts from the website, The Daily Stormer, that encouraged readers to contact the woman, Tanya Gersh, and her family.
Within months of Mr. Anglin's call for a "troll storm" against them, Ms. Gersh and her family had received more than 700 vulgar and hateful messages, many referring to the Holocaust. They temporarily fled their home.
Mr. Anglin did not appear in court, and his location is unknown. He did not respond to an email on Monday requesting comment on the lawsuit. And it was not clear how much money if any could ever be collected from him.
Nice that Andrew has gone back to where he's from, allegedly Thailand.

actionable phrases
You're so full of shit (and the moderators too!). There's no such thing.
Does any of that shit incite you to commit violence? No? I know it doesn't do anything for me. So fuck you! The people with no self control should be punished for choosing to get violent. All harm done is their own damn fault and nobody else's.
Censorship is fascism, always! It is lamentable to see the fascists winning. I hope we can defeat it with bulletproof technology some day.

"Fighting Words"

"Fighting words" is a remnant idiom sourced in honor culture which in the modern day, is pretty incomprehensible unless you are in gang.

Say that to my face, you Cretin of an AC! I will take my satisfaction upon your body! Or, up your arse! Choose your weapon!
But, all the same, words uttered with the intent of provoking violence are tantamount to an act of violence intended to provoke reciprocal violence, so just let me punch you in the face like the pathetic coward Nazi you are, so we can just get this over with, and we can all anally rape you like you wanted in the first place.
However, like Jane in Firefly, "cutting on yourself? When does that get to be fun?"

So what? It's still bullshit. If you can't control your reaction to words, you are the savage that needs to be isolated from society.

Oh, really?
But that measure, Heinrich Himmler should've been innocent of holocaust, he didn't do anything else but speak.
The persons truly responsible should've been those who carried out his orders, eh?

Substitute the speaker person** you think is appropriate, my point doesn't change in the matter of its substance.

See? Supposedly only "no-such-thing as actionable speech" words being uttered!

Yes, it's still bullshit. The people who carry out the orders are the guilty party, nobody else. What would Hitler be without followers?? An unknown painter, maybe.
