Current Events > The one thing that really irks me about "Punch Nazis".

(+) Yeah! (+)

The majority of the people who repeat this phrase seem to be a bunch of limp wristed betas who couldn't punch their way out of a wet paper bag.

For example, it's weird to see some girl on Facebook post #punchnazis when in real life she weighs 90lbs and has the temperament of a baby lamb.

I just don't really like how people are taking violence so lightly.

Did you see how your pals at the rally looked? A bunch of alternately overweight old fucks and scrawny dockers-wearing dorks.

Anything that normalizes violence should be rejected.

So Neo Nazi-ism and white supremacy?

Some of those same limp twisted people were integral for taking down the first Nazi regieme.

Since when is it become cool to be the thing that the US stood against in spades less than 80 years ago?

I'm not saying either side knows how to fight.

I just don't like that they're making memes and hashtags out of violence, I think the majority have no idea what violence truly is.

Why shouldn't I punch people that are going to send people from the very same group who killed a woman to said woman's funeral to stir up shit?

Violence like the Nazis of the 40s committed?

It's not cool, and neither is violence or taking it lightly.

Violence is literally the only thing Nazis understand. It's the entire basis of their ideology. Give it to them.

Remember when everyone fucking hated Nazis? Why are there people trying to ruin this?

So act like a nazi to deal with nazi's.

The thing that irks me about "punch Nazis" is that we should never advocate violence against people unless it is in self-defense. Punching a Nazi just feeds their victim complex and makes the puncher and the movement he or she represents look bad.

yes i'm sure that's the only thing about it that irks you

I shouldve used cut and dry. Oh well.

Yes, the violence perpetuated by a group of people 80 years ago which was infinitely worse than anything committed by a relatively small group of old and overweight modern day copycats.

This is mostly what I'm getting at.

Hating Nazis is fine, but advocating just going out and hurting people isn't. Even if those people are scum.

Not all violence is "acting like a Nazi".

It's not that I don't hate Nazis. I do. But that doesn't mean I'm going to advocate committing assault against a person who is just talking. That's not how this country should work.

I mean the argument is that advocating genocide is more than "just talking".

Anyone who wants to adopt the ideology and symbolism of a group of people who used to do experiments on human beings deserve whatever they get. Experiments like putting people in freezing water until they were pretty much dead to then see what were the most effective ways of reviving them (even if the victim was successfully revived they were then shot). Or putting people in a pressure chamber and then experimenting on all the various things that come with rapid/gradual changes of air pressure and it's effect on the human body.

Is your problem that people aren't good enough at punching Nazis? Or is your problem with people wanting to punch Nazis?

Sort of both. Even though they are labeled as Nazis I still see them as people and don't think they should be attacked unless they provoked some sort of violence first.

The other thing is it's a bunch of people who haven't been in a fight in their life acting like their just gonna go out and start knocking people out.

Not from a legal perspective. Don't get me wrong it's repugnant, but all punching a Nazi will do is net you an assault charge. If a person truly is speaking in threats, it should be reported to authorities so they can actually act on it.

Yeah? Advocating genocide doesn't earn a busted jaw?

So are you going out and punching people or no?

When is it okay to punch a Nazi?

A.) For just holding trash views
B.) When the person actually commits a crime

Reason and common sense leads me to believe the answer here is B.), but if folks are going around advocating for A.), at what point does it become okay for me to punch socialists and communists?

When they start advocating the extermination of a race. How bout that?

Fuck sakes.

Physicality is a poor determiner of who can mobilize power. Hitler wasn't a Lou Ferrigno type.

If you can't answer the question without deflecting then don't bother trying.

It doesn't advocate it in my book. It advocates disgust, ridicule, and isolation but I'm not going to hurt someone who's part of a vocal minority for being an idiot.

I'm not necessarily talking about from a legal perspective.

There are certainly things that are "moral" even if they are against the law, and advocating violence against such people is possibly one of those things.

Most people wouldn't bat an eye at someone for punching a guy for hitting on their girlfriend, so why does trying to recruit people to your white supremacist cause not receive AT LEAST the same level of "Well, technically this is illegal, but it's appropriate".
---

I just hate all the self-righteousness from white people who lecture minorities on how to behave. For some the collapse of discourse is just another opportunity for them to tell the darkie to pull his pants up.

Well if you see Stalin or any comparable modern day commies around feel free to punch them.

Communists advocate for human rights and justice and their ideology has killed more than Nazism has.

But they killed Nazis.

Your assuming I'm okay with a boyfriend hitting a dude for hitting on his girlfriend. Unless the guy is assaulting the girlfriend, I'm not.

Exactly.

It seems way too simple to be beyond the grasp of such a large number of people.

I'm not saying you are. I'm not okay with it either.

I just object to the idea that these people are "just talking" when there are many examples in our society where words are given enough weight where it's somewhat socially respectable to respond with violence.

Few people know this but it was violence against Nazis that led to them taking power. They were a minor party with no power in the beginning. Then German communists started attacking them in the streets and beating them up. This empowered the Nazis and gave them something to fight for. Soon after they were in charge. If communists had just left the early Nazis alone, they may never have taken power. We should be ignoring Nazis not feeding them attention and giving them excuses to fight

People don't bother trying to learn from history. Although, ignoring them isn't the right answer either. Just destroy their arguments, loudly and calmly. Make them look like the fools they are.

People who pushed the whole "punch a nazi" thing are partially responsible for things escalating to the point they are at.
