Re: On the punching of Nazis

From what? Nazis saying hateful stuff?

I mean, there is a time for Nazi punching--even though in general, speech is more powerful than deeds (because speech inspires people to help you with your deeds). And damn, it's satisfying. But yeah a culture where we punch people in the face because they say hateful stuff is a culture where marginalized people get punched.

And while -most- people I've seen expressing an appreciation for Nazi-punching are of the "oh, but it should still be illegal" variety, not all are.
