White supremacy isn't a race.

I miss the days when everyone would laugh at shitheads being slugged, even if the person who did it should rightfully be arrested. People used to not have sympathy for awful victims.

That's a distinction without a difference. I mean, the Jim Crow era wasn't exactly a time when the first-class citizens were using subtlety to force their rule over the others...

And, trust me, I'm not saying the nazis don't deserve to be slugged. But you legitimize and reinforce all of their shitty perspectives and values by meeting their ideas with violence.

As my old basketball coach used to say beat them on the court, not on the streets.

I'm in full support of people who deserve it getting punched on a case-by-case basis, but folks who wander around looking for people to punch just because they're deplorable, or feel a need to do so every time they encounter one, is basically a low-level vigilante situation. What might be justified or beneficial in a case-by-case basis just results in violent psychos considering every situation a chance to be a hero and shooting random people at the drop of a hat.

They're more upset about that than the police killing an innocent man in his sleep.

Most Nazis today are only guilty of thought crimes. Chill out, children

This isn't an argument against ostracizing and suppressing them. Its still a good idea to do those things.

I wonder if the next installment of the Wolfenstein franchise will allow the player to debate the people that have political opinions you disagree with in the marketplace of ideas.

Remember: The marketplace of ideas means letting people speak without responding. Any free speech that challenges these opinions is "censorship" and "cancel culture".

Ah, I miss the old days of never when thoughts and words never influenced what we thought of people. As long as they didn't commit any crimes against humanity, we loved everyone equally.

Anyone who is so far down the rabbit hole that they think being or identifying as a fucking Nazi is what they should do with their life, they're beyond saving.

There's a reason we still punish (actual/former) Nazis from WW2 even though they're in their 90s

Because Nazism is incompatible with all acceptable modern ideologies.

Allowing it to fester is like allowing cancer to run rampant in a body. It only leads to suffering and death. Excising it everywhere it is found and from everyone you can is the only way to treat it. If they don't willingly recant their beliefs, then at a minimum they should be monitored and restricted

Now now, we have to be nice to the people who want to round others up in camps and torture/execute them.

Neville Chamberlain tried being nice and appeasing with the nazis. Look at how that turned out.

Still waiting for any sort of rational justification for violence. So far its just look at everyone defending Nazis and other dismissive straw men. The ethical value of an action is determined by its anticipated and predictable consequences. The satisfaction of primitive violent impulses isnt justification for anything.

The anticipated and predictable consequence is that the subhuman Nazi trash knows they have no fucking place in a decent society.

And if it gets to the point where idiots harm innocent people due to mistaken identity or misapplication of that terminology?

Good thing you can't just go around punching people. You know, because that would be childish and also a crime

Better than the alternative of allowing it any quarter

We still prosecute WW2 Nazis because they actually committed crimes.

Look, Nazism isn't good. But neither is going around and assaulting people who haven't actually committed any offenses.

If you use violence against them, they're justified to use it against us.

You're showing them a lot of quarter by just leaving it at a punch, man.
You should probably abduct them off the street, cut off their limbs, and hold them prisoner in the basement in a state of living death for years until they beg to die. Every good man should do this, right? It's no big deal if we accidentally do this to a bunch of people who didn't actually deserve it, though.

Tolerance is out of control

You can still censor Nazi rhetoric.

The point is, you don't need to resort to immature acts of violence.

White supremacy isn't an issue with much nuance. There's right and wrong.

And not saying this to you personally, but weird how certain groups of people are at their loudest about "peace and understanding, changing hearts and minds" when people are intolerant to FUCKING NAZIS. Very curious at what times they develop tolerance and acceptance of "different opinions". They aren't such hippies when they hear about schools letting children know LGBT people exist.

@hockeybub89

This isn't about whether being a Nazi is right or wrong. This is about whether the "see a Nazi, punch a Nazi" is a reasonable position.

If Nazis are actively committing a takeover of my town by violent force or if I come upon Nazis committing a violent action then I would certainly be compelled to do something.

If I walk past a guy on the sidewalk who is shirtless with a swastika tattooed across his chest then I'm going to walk past him and keep something of a watchful eye on him. If I just immediately punched him then I'd be committing assault. You know, a crime.

So think creatively for a bit. I'm sure you can think of a more intelligent way to deal with a Nazi than punching them in the face.

So long as they have any sort of political power, it obviously matters what they think. Are you the sort to change your mind if someone punches you?
