If "standing up to them" means exerting violence against people who either 1. you think are Nazis, but turn out to not be Nazis, or 2. can be sold as having been peaceful themselves yet end up gravely injured or worse, you've lost the public and strengthened the extreme right.

Showing up with your wehraboo Nazi flag to a demonstration is literally a crime in Germany. The question is not whether that person ought to be punched, but if the state alone should have that privilege& honor to do so.

But seriously, I'm not explicitly for punching people, but it's kinda the citizen's responsibility to act if they see some heinous poo poo or even a crime going down. At the very least that person should be shamed and intimidated. Similar, if a person is being assaulted on the street, it's absolutely correct to step in until police arrives.

This isn't Star Wars, you don't turn into a Nazi by punching one and you don't turn anyone else into a Nazi by punching one. One of the biggest problems with Nazis these days is that there is too little protest against them, not the quality of the protest that is there. And this despite the media coverage Nazi rallies get. The reason that people *might* get offended and side with the Nazis when you punch them is that people still haven't really learned that it's perfectly alright to punch Nazis and it is indeed your civic duty to punch Nazis.

And how do people learn best? Repetition, repetition, repetition.

How many nazis will you need to punch until nazism has been punched away? Is nazism a problem that can be solved on any level by punching? And who will learn what by the left going on a nazi punching spree? I also fear that the rest of society will rather 'learn' (helped by springer presse) that contemporary leftism is rapidly cutting its ties with any concept of civil discourse when its members run around punching anyone who looks and acts like a nazi (while acting nonviolently).


Also the idea that it's our civic duty to violently attack human beings with different (althoug horrible) opionions, even when they haven't attacked anyone and just stated these opinions - is really problematic.

Ok, regardless of whether violence is called for in this case, do you really think the public goes "hmm these nazis do have a good ideology but I just don't feel they're marginalized enough yet to seem sympathetic"? Like, the only thing preventing a large amount of people go full fash is that they have yet to see a picture of a bleeding skinhead?

No, unless you reach the level of literal swastika waving heil hitlering cartoon nazis like in Charlottesville, the general public has no clue who is punching whom beyond "the press calls half of them right wing and the other half left wing" and automatically sides against whoever threw the first punch.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Looks like that 6,80 deal for Windows 10 was indeed to good to be true (at least upon initial attempt). I fell into the category of 1 out of 6 buyers whose key has issues during activation.

The whole process appears a little shady at first, but I can see how it works. You're doing telephone activation via Microsoft's activation service, enter your installation ID, and then get a confirmation ID based on the product key you receive. If, however, your installation ID doesn't work, you're boned, which appears to be the case for those negative reviews on Amazon. Sent a mail to the seller requesting a different key to give it one more try.

Might also give one of the 16,80 deals a try, also a verified Amazon seller, with a higher percentage of positive reviews to negative reviews stemming from that Fehlerbild I mentioned. If that one doesn't work either, I'm probably just biting the bullet and shelling out 120 bucks for a Microsoft-sold Windows 10 Home version.

Do unactivated Windows installations still last 30 days?

The very first question is incredibly misguided, as if any measure that wont take care of the problem immediately and conclusively is to be dismissed. The problem solved by punching a Nazi is that there is one less Nazi walking around un-punched. Nazis will learn the hard way that there is opposition to their disgusting ideology. The public might snap out of their apathy and actually discuss the topic instead of showing some token outrage of the latest front page news on GMX.

Nazism is an inherently violent ideology. It's not a matter of differing opinions. Nazis want to gently caress you up. That they haven't done so yet doesn't mean you should or can enter a meaningful discourse with them, because they are loving Nazis. It's kind of the point that they will use any form of discourse, abuse any kind of system of peaceful coexistence to further their cause (gently caress people who are not Nazis up).

What makes you think that punching a nazi will make him stop being a nazi? What makes you think he or the rest of society will take away the lesson that you want - better not be a nazi (or we will hurt you) - instead of the lesson that people who are dehumanizing their adversaries and picturing themselves as heroic vigilantes handing out divine justice are starting to give off really creepy vibes?

edit: I'm sure groups of left activists beating up unarmed people will provoke discussions in the public - but most likely not the kind of discussions you are hoping for.

Then the real-life antifa seems to have a way narrower definition of nazi or fascists than DnD does. So I guess it's only a question of time until antifa gets called nazis by DnD as well. :buddy:

At my current gig I live in the Student/Assiviertel of the town and last week I walked home from work and had my good shirt on and was walking rather fast and rhythmically because it was raining and I wanted to get home fast. 2 guys in black hoodies stopped me by standing in my way and accused me of marching like a Nazi and so on and so forth. Thing is I lived here for a long time a while back and its kind of "my Kiez" so I told them to gently caress off to their parents houses and play a bit Xbox so they don't get into trouble.

My point here is that young adults looking for trouble have always been young adults looking for trouble and from my POV whenever I get in contact with antifa people (and I do that a lot, mostly having a few beers with them or playing cards or both) it seems clear to me that they aren't the romanticized and much lauded nations immune system against Nazis and Neo-Nazis, but simply young adults looking for trouble who happen to grow up in a far lefti-ish area.

Fascism is a political movement that should be seen as such and treated as such. Also history has clearly shown that street riots and such ALWAYS play into the hands of Fascism as one of that movements shtick is to promise to bring back law and order to said streets. And that always got the political moderates and middle class into the boat and from there things always went reliably downhill.

So yes, promoting "punch a Nazi in the face" (which on the street translates to "punch a guy in the face who you think walks funnily or wears clothes you don't like") is a dumb idea short term as you commit a crime and long term because you actually play into the hands of fascists.

Of course it is necessary to stop talking and start acting (by which I mean violence) at some point but we are talking civil war here and not "go out and punch whomever you disgaree with".

I get your point and probably we are both simply drawing a different line in a gray area here. I'd refine "street riots" to "unorganized street riots without a clear and well communicated political message".

Also if you look at political messages like those of (ye olden) KPD or the (modern day) MLPD I'd probably refine even more to "political message which isn't complete insanity and makes the moderates and middle class make irritated faces".

Domestic fascism probably has trouble taking hold when most of the people it appeals to are already picked up by the royal armed forces to spread the Empire and keep the Irish in check.
