No, but you don't give them ammunition either. You burn their supplies or anything else that might be of use to them. This was just the opposite.
As an example, last year during the campaign, the term "Alt-Right" was somewhat undefined and nebulous, almost a bit mischievous, describing some kind of trollish rebel culture. When Hillary Clinton railed against the "Alt-Right" and cartoon frogs, it was very funny and wound up helping a great deal to show how ridiculous these uptight leftist dweebs were.
Then came Richard Spencer's stupid event that had the Nazi salutes. Plants or not, it was all the media needed. Trump disavowed, and from there the "Alt-Right" term successfully got co-opted as a rallying cry for the left and a new excuse for the censorship drives we're facing now. The best thing Richard Spencer ever did was save his idiocy for after the election.
And now here we are again. This was a gift for their propaganda efforts and it is going to help them more than us in the future. Thanks a lot to whatever idiots were behind this event.
