It's definitely a problem though. How do you defeat something that openly flaunts the rules of decency while trying to uphold decency.
You quit being a civnat and disregard decency. Here on the other side of the pacific, long established political dissidents and young but public civic nationalists were 'doxxed' pathetically (targets and results wise) by local antifa. Then, a local nationalist website returned the favor with a more effective doxxing campaign of their own with massive results and better optics. You know what antifa did? Cried, then cried some more. Lessons to learn for all here :)
I don't think upholding decency implies being a civnat, but maybe I have a different or wrong idea about what a civnat is.
To me, your example doesn't imply any loss of decency. Doxxing people who do doxxing seems perfectly normal. Escalating to violence or vandalism is where the morality become a little more gray.
My issue is how does the right win an election if the left is willing to cheat? If we don't cheat as well, we can't possibly win. The other option seems to be some sort of extrajudicial punishment. When you look at the ballot harvesting laws in CA things become even crazier.
I'm not sure if I have all the answers, but coming from a 'third position' perspective, while electoral politics may be used as a vehicle for popularizing ideology, organizing for political activism outside the party system is the more important part of the solution. Then, you disregard the system completely and make your own chess board. This, of course is the path of maximum struggle, but also a path that strives for the ultimate victory. In the United States I know there is a relatively new but promising organization Patriot Front in case you're interested you might want to check it out. https://patriotfront.us bitchute https://www.bitchute.com/channel/OVv9QZL4sEsC/
