It sounds like less of a free speech issue and more of a self defense issue then. You messing with some 4chan nerds isn’t going to dissolve the state or any institutional powers. As mentioned before I think defending yourself and others from violence is okay. I don’t really think deplatforming is really a worthwhile endeavor. Anarchists will equally cry fascist when their events are shut down or cancelled. It’s a totalitarian tendency to want to control speech.

I understand that you think there is a correlation between these groups being able to speak and their institutional power. I don’t doubt that on some level but that’s because of the systems that are in place. As anarchists we are against state power and other forms of oppression. Those are our targets and not so much the policing of others speech. When we become the culture police we are know better.
