Violence against nazis ought to be legal. These are monsters who have committed genocide and routinely kill their target demographics. Punching a nazi is self-defence, this lady is a fucking hero.

This woman is a hero. Punching a Nazi is always right, but it's not always legal (nor should it be). I feel comfortable holding both of those stances at once.

yeah how cool would it be to have militias fighting in the streets again. the world is so boring without political violence and car bombs blowing up little children

[-] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 19 points 1 year ago

That's exactly how it will be if the Nazis you're protecting aren't suppressed.

[-] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

They aren't protecting Nazis. It's reactionary thinking to believe that violence on the streets is the only thing one can do against Nationalists.

You're right. It's even more justified to kick Nazis out of private spaces. If you let known Nazis into your space, it's a Nazi space. Of course you can do other things to fight Nazis, but we must make ideas that are as terrible as fascism unacceptable in public. Ideally, we'd force cops to crack down on Nazis through laws. This would get rid of open Nazis while also forcing some of the worst cops off the force. Nazi cops would need to persecute people who think like them or risk losing their jobs.

Justification of genocide will never be acceptable, but as the bullshit between Israel and Palestine clearly shows, humanity isn't ready to outlaw it. Due to the ludicrous destructive power humanity possesses, ideas incompatible with the existence of benign human difference are incompatible with peace. All popular religions can be just. All cultures can adjust themselves to exist with the rest of the world. However, tolerance has to be mutual, and if someone holds on to intolerance as an idea, we must not tolerate them for that idea. There is no peaceful or tolerant version of fascism, so it can never be allowed.
