A lil context for why I get so worked up about it more than most. My grandma lived in East Poland(current day Belarus) and when Nazis came, my grandma’s family fled east while her father fought. Long story short, the kids(grandma and siblings) were the ones that survived and were split up across the globe. That’s the Super streamlined version. So when Bill Maher says “oh I didn’t like Nazis either but you can’t punch someone who’s not doing anything” I want to punch HIM too. The implicit support is a lesson to learn from. Also why didn’t the US kill the last Nazi collaborator living in Queens,NY instead of deportation? Watch the part where Chuck Schumer explains the deportation if you wanna cringe. https://youtu.be/nW8sC9JA2Is https://youtu.be/KzW8NYeQbo4 These are the 2 vids that inspired this. I think the main reason people should workout is so that when they punch a Nazi, they don’t get back up.TL;DR: My grandma was affected by Nazis, now libs are “tolerant” of them.

    My contention with people saying we shouldnt punch nazis is because… Let’s be honest; some people arent nazis but close enough and maybe wirh a unique and unrelated name who deserves to get fuckin punched too.

    Take Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, or or Tucker Carlson. You dont have to call them nazis. You sont have to even call them fascist. They straight up deserve a bat to the teeth. 90% of the shit they say will get Your ass beat on simple fighting words alone.

      One of my biggest issues with the ‘American-Left-on-twitter’-style stereotype is their obsession with falsely labeling things to denounce them, like nazi/fascist/not-proletarian. Someone doesn’t have to fit in every opposite group for you to show why they suck, and quite frankly it just hurts the labor movement when someone spouts blatant falsehoods like that.

        For sure. There are legions of people who arent fascists who deserve a good solid asswhoopin for their toxic and antisocial opinions.

        Like do people not think Randians dont deserve a swift kick in the cock? They are capital simps. I mean cmon.
