In reply to the discussion: On punching Nazis [View all]sl8
(17,147 posts)107. Of course. Also, people who worship the wrong god might get punched.
People who advocate genocide and idolize nazis in public might get punched.
Where did y'all go to school? Where I went, you said stupid shit, you got your ass beat and then you learned to act right. These RW snowflakes went to their upper-middle class all white schools with their helicopter mommies and daddies and now think just because they smell nice, they can say any damn horrible thing that comes into their minds with no consequences.
If you advocate violence and go out of your way to draw attention to that fact, you might attract violence. Not saying it is right or not right. It is like gravity. It just IS. People just have a sad about it because he looks nice. If it was a sweaty working class skinhead with bad teeth, no one would give a shit. But punch the pretty frat boy for IDENTICAL statements and people get all spiritual about it .

By the same token, people who don't have the right amount of melanin might get punched. Not saying it is right or wrong. It just IS.
Bullshit.
Just to be perfectly clear, I AM saying whether that's right or not right. It is not right.
It is wrong.
Where I went to school, I learned some crap and I learned some worthwhile things.
As an adult, I decide for myself what is right and what is wrong.
Is that not true for everyone?

You think they don't want this reaction? This gives them more exposure, not less. And it gives them

I don't really mind, but it's dangerous if punchers don't have all the facts.
