FOR ALL YOU FUCKING “DON’T PUNCH NAZIS, YOU’RE MEAN!” IDIOTS
THIS is what you’re defending:
A punch is too fucking soft.
And besides…
After one solid clock to the jaw, now memed into perpetuity, Dick Spencer is afraid to show his Nazi face in public. Direct action gets the goods.
People still asking “so this means I should punch anyone I disagree with, then?”
No, it means you should punch nazis because they disagree with other people living.
Also worth noting, here’s an excerpt from the 1939 book Fascism and Big Business by Daniel Guérin:
If in the beginning, when the Hitler bands were still weak, the workers’ parties had answered them blow for blow, there is no doubt their development would have been hampered. On this point we have the testimony of the National Socialist leaders themselves.
Hitler confessed in retrospect: Only one thing could have broken our movement – if the adversary had understood its principle and from the first day had smashed, with the most extreme brutality, the nucleus of our new movement.”
And Goebbels: “If the enemy had known how weak we were, it would probably have reduced us to jelly…. It would have crushed in blood the very beginning of our work.”
Punch them. Make them afraid to spread their poison. Oppose them in every avenue available to you because we know what happens when this goes unchecked.
More context about this quote is on Snopes.
The other point we keep bringing up to those who gasp and clutch their pearls in shock and horror when they see fascists being met with violence is that fascist violence is a serious, serious threat to our communities. By our count, bigots and fascists have murdered eighteen people this year and seriously injured thirty-five in a series of shootings, stabbings, arsons, and mob attacks. Pretending that anti-fascist violence is the real concern in the face of fascist attacks like these = willingly engaging in the logical fallacy of false equivalence. For people pretending that anti-fascist violence is the real problem, we’d ask: How do you expect people trying to keep themselves, their families, and their friends from being hospitalized or murdered by fascists to react? Where is your outrage and condemnation of fascist violence?
“Is Black genocide right, and if so, what is the best way to dispose of Blacks? I am afraid of being punched when I go out to dinner now though because THOSE kinds of people (punchy antifascists) are about and about :( “ sure is a take, alright
In summary, punch multiple Nazis.
