I got banned from a regular sub on Reddit for saying it's ok to punch Nazis. How refreshing.
Probably because it's not okay to assault people who you disagree with or find unforgivable. Down votes and punching is easy, little kid stuff. Seeing where they are coming from, what they've been through, and understanding why they are this way, and helping them see their way out of it. That is the difficult part.
"People I don't agree with" and "Nazis" aren't the same people. I sympathize with people who have lives that lead them down the path to that, but once they've committed themselves to Nazism and start saluting in the street, then there's no more sympathy.
To be clear, you can come back from a lot of shitty beliefs. I have. But I also didn't march in white pride parades with swastikas. I'm not talking about run of the mill conservatives.
A few punches in the face while screaming "fuck you Nazi" might help them along.
Only good Nazi is a dead one
It’s infuckingsane to me that not even 100 years since the end of WW2 and there’s still nazis. Fuck Nazis.
I was banned from Reddit for saying I enjoyed the parts of red dead redemption 2 where you had to kill slave owners and kkk members. Literally said I enjoyed a mainstream video game and the main quest. Inciting violence against polygons in an imaginary world that took place 150 years ago.
Imagine saying you enjoyed playing Wolfenstein.
14 year account. RIP.
Reddit also banned me for saying nazis deserve to be punched. A comment I made under a post similar to this. Appearantly making such posts is fine, but commenting the same shit is unforgivable.
Ribbits
Yeah, I'm not sure what's up over there where it suddenly became not ok to punch Nazis.
It used to be even mainstream media encouraged punching Nazis. Don't watch an old Blues Brothers movie if punching Nazis offends you too I guess.
I hate Illinois nazis
We're on a mission... From God.
I think reddit ostensibly banned /r/ChapoTrapHouse because the mods weren't banning people who said slave owners should be killed.
I wish there was a nazi punching training camp. We need to teach the people how to punch nazis the right way.
Be careful punching nazis. A single punch can kill. People have gone to prison for a single punch. Do it masked up!
Well, you don't have to be thaaaat careful. They have very thick skulls.
Its called a boxing gym.
History has shown us that there is only one solution to Fascism. Maybe it's time to remind them.

THIS IS *NOT* OKAY.
This sets a dangerous example, and we need to talk about it.
If you punch a Nazi like this, you're going to break your wrist. Remember, make contact with the largest two knuckles (index and middle finger) and keep a strong wrist. You want to hurt the Nazi, not yourself!
Stay safe out there and keep punching Nazis.
This has been a public service announcement.
[Two images shown side by side. The first shows a young man in a black shirt standing on a crowded sidewalk, his hand raised above his head in the historical "Nazi salute" with a lightly smug expression. There is a person's hand holding up their middle finger prominently in his direction visible from the right side of the screen, but everything past their forearm is out of the image frame. In the second image, the same man in the black shirt is shown with his hand at his side, as a second man in an orange shirt is shown in the middle of punching the taller black-shirted man in the jaw. The fist of the man punching is angled slightly upwards at the wrist, so his fist makes contact at the knuckles on his fingers rather than using the flat surface of a typical punch. The image is captured before the man in the black shirt reacts to the punch. The hand holding up a middle finger is still visible in the right of the frame.]

Hostility towards Nazis is the only hostility I'd ever want to see on Lemmy.
Cringe take to glorify any violence for having an opinion even if its offensive just as yours could be equally offensive to them. If you say your feelings aren't hurt then you actually think violence is a good cause lol
If they think that someone saying people of all races or sexual orientations are equal is offensive they don't deserve to be part of our society.
"other people don't deserve the same rights as me" is not a fucking political opinion you cretin.
Those who advocate violence and oppression deserve violence and oppression. Don't want violence brought on you? Don't bring it on others.
And just because they're polite about it doesn't change any of that. So fuck this "gosh golly gee I just think gays and Jews should be hanged why are you hitting me 🥺" act that isn't fooling anyone.
Apologies if I misread your post, that all wasn't necessarily directed at you.
Genocide is the central defining feature of nazism. Why should anyone care about the opinions of nazis or what they find offensive?
Violence is good, especially when punching nazis. The ideology is inherently violent. Punching a nazi is always self-defense.
I've only just joined after about 11 years on reddit, and I've only just realised we can say this shit about nazis here. I feel like a weight just lifted off my back.
Punching the head isn't a great idea in general, it's better to just open palm it and save knuckles for the soft places. Better yet, just use your elbow or forearm, or a baseball bat.
This is my first post on the fediverse! Fuck Nazis.
I'm generally a very peaceful person.
But I think physically attacking tyranny, and tyrants, is morally justified.
Oh yeah, that's a shit punch. That guy needs a bit of advice. And keep punching nazis
