I sent to my grandmother who is a camp survivor and she said 1) violence is not the answer 2) but everyone always loves to see a Nazi get punched in the face.

I agree with the poster up thread who said reality is more complex.

No, it's America First

The Nazis are the ones who commit violent acts for ideological reasons.

Pretty simple to see who they are.

Apparently it's just a Democratic value at this point. The Republican approach is more of a warm, welcoming embrace.

So true, so scary, and still made me laugh.

Amen sister.

Only once you clarify the obvious. You are talking about BLM rioters who destroyed several doentowns and intimidated thousands of innocent people, correct?

Let's just put it up there with protecting the constitution, caring for the poor, trying to make sure everyone is educated, employed, housed...

Personally, I'm a little too lefty to identify as a Democrat. But I see your point

Warren Ellis - on whether or not Nazis should be punched in the face. TL;DR - yes

I understand there’s been some confusion online as to whether it’s ever right to punch a Nazi in the face. There is a compelling argument that all speech is equal and we should trust to the discourse to reveal these ideas for what they are and confidently expect them to be denounced and crushed out by the mechanisms of democracy and freedom.

All I can tell you is, from my perspective as an old English socialist and cultural liberal who is probably way to the woolly left from most of you and actually has a medal for services to free speech — yes, it is always correct to punch Nazis. They lost the right to not be punched in the face when they started spouting genocidal ideologies that in living memory killed millions upon millions of people. And anyone who stands up and respectfully applauds their perfect right to say these things should probably also be punched, because they are clearly surplus to human requirements. Nazis do not need a hug. Nazis do not need to be indulged. Their world doesn’t get better until you’ve been removed from it. Your false equivalences mean nothing. Their agenda is always, always, extermination. Nazis need a punch in the face.

(And the argument that such assaults allow Nazis to get more attention doesn’t work so well when they were already going live on a national television network, because this is where we are now. This is how normalised their presence in our culture is.)

Glad we got that cleared up.
