Hazelnut - 2020-12-04 It’s a tough balance. I approve of Germany’s ban on swastikas, Nazi salutes, and Holocaust denial; I also approve of America’s First Amendment. Different approaches reflecting different histories and risks.
Instead of ‘Always punch Nazi faces’ I would say ‘Punch Nazi faces as appropriate.’ In this case the narrator was 100% justified, but he wouldn’t have been if he’d led with a punch.
I know a user here who thoroughly deserves a face punch for repeating the lie that Jews are ‘crying wolf’ over anti-semitism to shut down criticism (the same ‘race card’ lie that gets told of every minority), but I wouldn’t throw that hypothetical punch except as some kind of last resort.

casualcollapse - 2020-12-04 Yes, obviously only punch Nazis that actively deserve it, but still if I had a button that got every real Nazi thown comically into space, I would hit it in an instant
