If you have a problem with punching nazis but are OK with police and military violence, you are a hypocrite and a nazi collaborator and deserve to be punched

What if I'm okay with neither

Gandhi was also OK with violent resistance if you personally weren't capable of the discipline and mental fortitude demanded by his brand of non-violence, and also was of the opinion that people who claimed to be non-violent as an excuse to do nothing in the face of injustice were reprehensible cowards.

I thought there also had to be no other option for him to be okay with violence? Like straight up self-defense I guess

" I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
-- Martin Luther King Jr.

This post did a lot more to sway me then anything else posted in the thread and I want you to know that.

I wish people could post in this thread without accusing each other of being nazi supporters / sympathizers. I like the discussion but can't stand the toxic circle jerking and name calling. It makes D&D such a shithole
