Slippery slope in practice: Now It’s Okay to Punch Nazis and White Male Libertarians

[Allybeboba]

Nazi = National Socialist German Worker`s Part, meaning it`s socialist...

Get it? Conservatives aren`t socialist....and Hitler was a huge socialist.... Please learn more and write less dumb stuff

and violence is always bad and never leads to free speech, it only leads to totalitarianism of some variety

Trump might be a bad politician but he is self serving and does not answer to anyone. We can safely assume this because no one would ever start a presidency this badly and there is no standing army in your town right now.

God Bless America

Shhh...
Conservatives aren't supposed to know that.

What do you mean 'Now' it is okay to punch Nazis? It's always been okay to punch a Nazi. Don't want to get punched? Don't be a Nazi.

White Supremecy is the dumbest shit on the planet, you happened to be born white so you think that makes you better than others but had you been born black you would of thought that made you better than everyone else. People always build pillars of social worth and always place themselves on the highest pillar of value.

I'm pretty sure assault is still illegal, regardless of what random people tweet.

[DeadmanWalking]

Shhh...

It's not that conservatives are Nazis, it is that Nazis don't identifying as Nazis and also claim to be conservatives. They hide among the conservatives. The alt-right actually hate conservatives and call them cuckservatives.

The Conservative party started on the backbone of segregation in schools and later changed to abortion. SO it isn't hard to hide among the fl Class disguised as a sheep.

It's perfectly fine to physically assault anyone one who you disagree with or any race you don't like, at least that's what college student protesters are teaching me.

I will fock u up dont care if you got a pussy act like a man and get knocked out like a man.

The left thinks it's a good idea to attack the most heavily armed right wing in the world. It'll turn out so well for them or so they'll imagine in their final moments.

[Dezerte]

Another slippery slope in practice: Generalizing groups of people based on the actions of a few.

[ShadowofVashj]

This casual acceptance of violence is one of the dumbest things I've seen the left embrace, maybe even worse than 3rd wave feminism. Just because there are plenty of morons in the world doesn't mean one should get anxious when celebrating and defending liberal ideals in the marketplace of ideas. There is absolutely no need for unprovoked violence. So fucking stupid, just feeding idiot conservatives unnecessary ammunition.

If you are a "liberal" and you support "punch a _____" you are fucking moron, you are not a liberal, and you should go crack open a book or something and actually learn proper debate styles.

But seriously, white libertarians are the worst. "Let's be nice to the Nazis. Maybe this time they won't gas anybody. :3"

I think it's more like, "You don't have the right to punch or silence him for the same reason he doesn't have the right to punch or silence YOU." It seems so simple...

[Mad_Murdock]

Apart from the fact that putting "White Male Libertarians" together with (Neo-)Nazis is utterly ridiculous.

I believe they are getting lumped together, because you have a stream of white male libertarians, A Dave Rubin for example, who speaks out against violence against people and advocates that all speech should be allowed. There was another Tweeter poster who posted that they have moved past saying it's OK to punch a Nazi and that it's now OK to punch anyone who disagrees with punching a Nazi.

[Puremallace]

Punching NAZI's is a great American tradition. My daddy did it in WW2

[DSRilk]

Where has anyone said that?

DeadmanWalking did. About 4 posts up.

But he didn't. He said it is ok to punch Nazis.

Legally no. Morally yes. Not silencing Nazis is dumb. They want to kill us all.

maybe even worse than 3rd wave feminism.

Please explain what you think third wave feminism is.

Why would a conservative be offended by a Nazi getting punched. Conservatives aren't Nazis.

[Jessicka]

i think the only times it's ok to punch someone is self defense (or defense of someone possibly, friend and family for sure).

The best way to deal with someone whose ideas you disagree with is to offer counter ideas and rebuttals.

If only they'd listen to those rebuttals. They don't. You have a President and his advisers and spokespeople who have literally made shit up, had those facts checked, and thoroughly rebutted. And they stick by them, call you a liar, call "alternative facts", "fake news", whatever other conspiracy.

That's not about free speech. They don't want free speech. They want their version of the truth to be the truth, and that truth is seemingly very fluid indeed.

You cannot reason with that. And that's where Liberals fall flat, trying to reason with something so hideously unreasonable; and has become so terrifyingly adept at exploiting that very fact.

And that's why more Nazis need their faces punching.

[Shadowferal]

Conflating Nazis with fools with their copies of Ayn Rand's books under their collective arms is a bit of a stretch.
But it's one I'm willing to overlook since sometimes I think they both need a bloody nose.

Why would a conservative be offended by a Nazi getting punched. Conservatives aren't Nazis.

1. This is an example of 3rd wave feminism: https://witchwind.wordpress.com/2013...lways-rape-ok/

Long story short: Vaginal intercourse regardless of consent is always rape. Awesome, great philosophy. (Be sure to read the comments below as well)

2. It has been a recent and effective conservative example of Liberal Hypocrisy when it comes to Free Speech. That liberals are only for "free speech" they support, while suppress other speech (such as preventing numerous colleges from booking speakers or effectively shutting down those events once underway). And they are not wrong in this, that liberals have been doing this. I think it makes us look bad, and intellectually inferior when you have to resort to shutting someone up instead of beating them soundly in debate and reason. Freedom of speech has always been a pillar of this country and I stand by it whether I disagree with content or not. It's perfectly legal for the American Nazi Party of the KKK to apply for town permits to have parades in the US, and while I don't agree with their views AT ALL it is within their rights to do it. I use the same logic to defend people who exercise their right to burn the flag in protest (even though I think that's distasteful as well [obviously not as bad as being a Klan member or Nazi]). Or those shitheads from Westboro Shitstain Church.

I'm just tired of seeing fellow liberals give such easy ammunition to an already unstable and mentally unbalanced conservative side who cry foul over everything. We have to play such a perfect ground game as is there's no reason to give them a softball like this to complain about.

Rofl, witchwind. No, that is not third wave feminism. Try again.

You do not debate Nazis. You do not debate people whose premise is Jews, people of color, LGBT people and the disabled are not human and need to be eradicated. That legitimizes them.

These people want us dead. What is there to debate?
