EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)

Nazi's exist as much as roman legionaries exist. The Roman Empire is gone and so is Nazi Germany. That somebody would love to be one is a different thing. I'd love to be a samurai but those too no longer exists. Slapping a label on it doesn't change that. I can dress up and play one but that's not the same. There are neo-Nazi's out there for sure, wannabees. There are no Nazi's.

Having said that.

I've spend quite some time arguing with people that punching a Nazi is bad for a long list of reasons. I suddenly get the idea that I'd love to see any of you walk up to a group of neo Nazi's and punch one of them. Let's see if you still think it's such a get idea. I feel like a lot of you are armchair heroes, sorry.

But to the point: we live in a civil society. We have a justice system. You punch a Neo Nazi and it's assault and battery and depending on injuries you likely will go to jail. Congrats, you made a neo nazi a victim and yourself a violent criminal. Great work.

Stop with the dumb slogans. Everybody knows that Nazi's were bad and "punch a Nazi" only leads to assholes calling others they don't like Nazi's.
