Neo-Nazi gets punched in the face while handing out racist fliers at campus

[Mehrunes]

Yeah, you can. It's called appeasement.
Trying to oppose Nazi's without punching them in the face has been tried before.
Spoiler: 85 million people died.

*Talks about opposing Nazis without punching them* *Brings up appeasement* OK then...

"to anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth."

Conservatives seem more than willing to believe any lie, and have shown a considerable aversion to the truth in recent years. We just elected a president based on willful ignorance.

[Canpinter]

ok thought experiment, is it ok to punch NAMBLA members, they are advocating for the legalization of what any sane person would call rape of young boys. so is violence permissible?

That must be why conservatives get angry when climate skeptics say anything.

Wait.

That's your problem. I won't. There's no reason to.

MY problem? Oh - so by your way of thinking it is entirely fine if I started going up to BLM protestors and the ones that espouse the delusional concept of white privilege and punch them in the face just because I don't like the POV's?

Notice I said I TOLERATE them - meaning that even though I DO NOT agree with their POV's I will certainly let them espouse it.

You got that backwards...

I didn't make it up. However, my point was that the poster I quoted was seemingly upset because President Trump told the truth.

I've opposed nazis without punching them in the face, without people dying. I guess I'm some sort of god.

At the end of the day, I don't see why we should debate an ideology that will take away the right to debate should they win. Mock them, ostracize them, bully them. Don't treat fascists as your equals because they're not.

And magically enough, you can do all of these things AND not debate them without resorting to illegal activity or condoning such activity being performed by others.

Are you asking if the person doing the battery is committing a crime? The answer is obvious yes. Are asking if I will personally be troubled by the punching? The answer is obviously no.

I'll always have a laugh on my face seeing scum get what is coming, doesn't change the fact that it is a crime.

Clearly you couldn't understand what I first wrote. Read it again instead of arguing based on imagination.

so you find it morally ok tho?

The truth about him wanting to hit someone? Uh... Not really sure what made you feel that quote was an excellent reply.

I'll lose about as much sleep over it as I do when Nazi sympathizers get punched. Which is to say, none at all.

[Dug]

Does it matter? You can't criticize people for claiming they're morally superior then turn around and ask them if they find things morally acceptable or not.

I'm not a bleeding heart.

Do I need to explain it, or are you good to move on?

[PACOX]

Defending nazis should hold slightly less stigma than defending pedos

Edit: Jesus auto correct...

[Garnier Fructis]

I'm sorry you think that low of yourself. However just because you feel that you're an animal doesn't mean you get to act like one.

Grawwwwwwwrrr.

"It's okay to physically assault someone if you don't agree with them!" - Liberals

Seriously, how aren't people on the left standing up to these sort of things? You might not agree with what the person is saying, however you need to defend their right to say it, otherwise if and or when free speech is illegal, what happens when the coin flips, and speaking out against actual issues becomes punishable?

What do you think is going to happen if you do shit like this??? We are simply pointing it out, we aren't saying it's ok.

[Xeones]

Do I need to explain it, or are you good to move on?

Well I'd just have to point out Trump getting all upset when his lies get fact checked.
