If a nazi gets knocked out, are you lot going to come into a thread and say "physical violence is warranted." and "he could have died!!!!!" ?
As a Jewish person, with people in my family who were survivors from concentration camps I'd say nazis shouldn't get punched in the face for being nazis or spreading hate speech on US soil, even though they are my enemy and enemies to the United States.
Look, if I were in nazi Germany, I would've burned the nazi flag to the ground in protest. But I would've been physically harmed for doing so.
In the United States, unlike Nazi Germany, we have court systems and laws in place to protect unpopular people and unpopular opinions against a tyrannical majority. We cannot, on the one hand, say Nazism is wrong, while, on the other hand physically punish non-violent nazis for having minority extremist views.
It's hypocritical. We have to protect everyone in our country from mob mentalities equally, even our enemies. That's what makes the United States what it is vs Nazism which does punish minority views with violence.
Now, does our system do a perfect job of protecting all minorities equally? No. In fact it does an absolutely abysmal job. But as a matter of normative principles, we cannot physically punish those who have political views full of hateful provocation without actual incidents of violence while still being correct. It's completely hypocritical and just another form of tribal vigilance.
