Lonerbox makes 2 unsupportable assertions. 1. Rittenhouse's reason for being there is unconnected to white nationalist attacks on BLM/the Left. 2. That Rittenhouse was pushed from larper to killer in the instant he was "attacked." He had already menaced protesters with his gun. 
And these are the same transparently stupid and ahistorical arguments used by white nationalists/fascists/MAGA for the last five years. "How can the Proud Boys be white nationalists when they have Black members?" and so on.
If you need to decontextualize everything down to the two and a half minutes of footage starting with Rittenhouse running from the people he provoked, you're not making a good faith argument.
Also, this is the standard Lee Fang type argument that the actions of the Left necessitate the far right to defend themselves, or drive people to become extreme Right wingers. Lonerbox claims Rittenhouse only moves from larper to killer in the moment someone tried to disarm him.
That's why people are correct to call out lonerbox using the term larper in the first place, and to notice this has been a way that the "dirtbag" (centrist/Berniecrat/left wing of the Democratic Party) Left downplay the threat of rising global fascist movements.
