quote:

“The notion that you can somehow defeat violence by submitting to it is simply a flight from fact. As I have said, it is only possible to people who have money and guns between themselves and reality. But why should they want to make this flight, in any case? Because, rightly hating violence, they do not wish to recognise that it is integral to modern society and that their own fine feelings and noble attitudes are all the fruit of injustice backed up by force. They do not want to learn where their incomes come from. Underneath this lies the hard fact, so difficult for many people to face, that individual salvation is not possible, that the choice before human beings is not, as a rule, between good and evil but between two evils.”

― George Orwell, All Art Is Propaganda: Critical Essays
Though I said this is GBS, I can't get on board with the meme-ing and the orgy of celebration that happens after a Nazi gets punched. IMO it's like kicking someone when they're already down. It's like pissing on a corpse. You punch a Nazi when they're on their feet and intend (by being a Nazi) to do you harm. But once they're on the ground I try to resist taking pleasure in their further humiliation. That's just me.

Not to pile on you, but here's the thing about these takes and the "political violence is bad" takes: if it were 2015, how many people would be saying the same thing? At least in my general circles, the liberals and conservatives and all would think that this was funny as hell, because he's a loving Nazi. Now, it's seen as political violence, which implicitly means ceding ground to Nazism as a legitimate political view to contend with.

Actually humiliating nazis is Cool and Good because it punctures their self-image as badass warriors fighting against the judeobolshevik menace something fierce. So basically if you hypothetically happen to punch out a nazi it would be even more effective to also piss on his face.

I guess. I realize what I'm saying sounds like the most milktoast centrist high horse bad take possible. I find it funny too when nazis get punched but I just don't like to revel in violence.

Maybe the problem comes from the fact that I don't actually see nazis as having legitimate political views, and thus I have trouble convincing myself they deserve more than being laughed at; punching them feels like giving them legitimacy kinda?

Also I'm not American, I'm not very close to the problem and I'm from a rather subdued society and while we have our own supremacist movements gaining notoriety here, they're still viewed as fringe and violence against them gives them the high horse in the public's eye. Which isn't worth anything in terms of morality, of course.

for me it's more a "rules of war" thing. even when we were killing nazis by the bushel there were some rules (unevenly enforced) about the fate of prisoners, wounded soldiers, sympathizers, etc.

sure. it's violence as a means to an end. so for me, the question is whether adding on these humiliations furthers that goal, or whether it starts confusing ends and means.

the humiliation is the key component of the violence that turns others away from fascist action imo, and frankly thank god we have the internet so they can be humiliated relatively painlessly instead of needing to brand or cripple the nazis in some way

Rules of war only apply if both sides respect them, and if you want to see how much nazis actually respect rules of war, take a cursory glance at the Eastern Front.

And the humiliation furthers the goal of neutering the nazi movement, yes.

being punched (on camera at that) is humiliating, too. i dunno. i'm wrestling with this, but my feeling is that there's a danger in losing yourself in this poo poo where it becomes personally unhealthy. like taking pictures posing with injured, beaten prisoners or corpses while smiling. i'm having a conversation with myself.

a friend of mine has richard spencer getting punched on a t-shirt. that's a bit far, yeah? well, at the least, it's probably not tactically smart to wear it when walking around on your lonesome.

on par, i think the alt-right is worse in this regard. remember when nathan damigo punched the anti-fascist girl in the face? it was turned into a meme and spread constantly, and more recently on neo-nazi forums of jason fields' car, and of heather heyer's corpse.

that's not true. the rules of war always apply regardless of whether your enemy respects them. and tactically speaking, it's not a settled question whether the more extreme stuff carried out during that war damaged the nazis' morale.

and i'm still saying punch nazis.

Well, I was speaking in the context of treatment of enemy soldiers, in which case reprisal actions are permissible if the other side breaches the laws of war first. And since nazis marching on the streets are not some kind of innocent bystanders in any way, any comparison to laws of war prohibiting attacks on civilians becomes absurd.

Yeah. The bloodlust that comes from cheering on violence is inherently unhealthy and also shown to be addictive in the sense that once you start experiencing it you'll want more of it.
