Not a troll, and thank you for your comment.
Let me try to clarify a few of my points.
First off, what is the point? What is it that you’re trying to do with assault? And it IS assault and battery if you “punch a Nazi”. I’m obviously not talking about self defense after you were attacked, I’m talking about you taking initiative. What is your goal? Revenge? Killing him? Getting rid of the enemy?
Then I have a problem with “punch a Nazi” because I’m against violence unless there is no other choice. You either defend yourself against direct and literal violence or you don’t use violence.
Then I have a problem with punch a Nazi because way too many people say that, and in the same breath will continue with calling you a Nazi because you disagree with them. People like that are just as scary as those that literally would want to be a Nazi.
Then there is the Nazi thing. Just like there are no samurai and Roman legionaries anymore, there aren’t any Nazi’s anymore. There are neo-Nazi’s, wannabees, but Nazi’s don’t exist anymore. Words matter.
Then there is the thing that these neo-Nazi groups, like all similar groups, have a few scary leaders and mostly disillusioned followers. These are mostly people that are angry or disillusioned with whatever and many times are one or two conversations away from “seeing light”. They may say a lot of shit but really aren’t that deep in there. Punching them might actually work counter productive and just push them further down a bad path.
Then finally there is the point that if we want to live in a just society, that we need to use the justice system, not a vigilante system. Again, if you’re playing judge jury and executioner yourself then you’re possibly worse than them.
Then finally there is the point that if you “punch a Nazi” YOU are committing assault and battery, not “the Nazi” and a judge and jury of your peers will toss your sorry ass on jail, not “the Nazi”. You would put you as the bad guy, making a neo nazi the good guy. Don’t make neonnazis the good guy.
So no, I’m not trolling here, I’m dead serious. “Punch a Nazi” is a bad thing for a long list of reasons, just don’t do it.
I think you have a rather warped image of reality. Sure, there are a few very disturbing types out there, but they don’t need neonnazis idioligy to murder you. Most neo-Nazi’s are a lot of bark, very little bite. They’re guys who also have families at home who (kinda like you) have a warped sense of reality and they’d be much more helped with a dose of reality and reason than violence…
