    While I generally agree that all Nazis must be punched, this can be counterproductive.

    Look what’s going on in France. A Nazi got into a brawl, died from his wounds, and now he’s treated like a fucking national hero. The left in general are portrayed as terrorists.

    Don’t underestimate how efficient the right is at playing the victim.

      It doesn’t matter. They’re getting what they want. You can play nice and let them have what they want, or you can take some risks, stand for what you believe in, and fight back.

      Fighting back against school bullies is also “against the rules.”

        I mean it may feel good to punch one of these Nazi’s, but it doesn’t mean it’s helping. I love what this kid did, don’t get me wrong. We absolutely need to fight back and stand for what we believe in, but getting violent, except out of defense, is unproductive and only deepens the wedge between the left and the right, making things worse.

          Kid was walking through the high on attention with a big ol sign to advertise for an untrained, highly aggresive, indescriminatly brutal paramilitary force acting out of their jurisdiction and kidnapping people off of the streets mostly without even documenting where they take them. Kid knows damn well what he supports and wants everyone to know it.

          There is a time for civil debate and there’s a time for punchin’

          I think carrying a sign in support of ice should count as punchin’ worthy.

      And we need to crush this bullshit! Especially in Lyon it’s absolutely mind-blowing that this little shit is allowed to even be recognized as a victim. We fucking judged Klaus Barbie in Lyon when I was a kid, and people dare to say a nazi is a victim. You’ve no idea how insane this whole thing is.
