I think it's stupid as hell to have to convince anyone that nazis are worth punching, but whatever, I'll give you one response and leave it.
1) IDK, start with anyone who says they're a nazi. There are tons of people who are openly fascist, white supremacists. No need to worry about grey lines, plenty of punching to go around. If you really want to push the boundaries, go for people who are openly hateful towards minority groups - it's usually not subtle. Punch away, totally ethical.
2) Up to you, it's your punch.
> Is there a continuum between nazi and non-nazi?
Sure but who cares? There may be a continuum but there's also huge parts of the spectrum that are extremely clear cut. Hitler falls in the continuum of nazis, and it's hardly a grey area simply by virtue of being gradient.
> Also how many punches is being a nazi worth?
IDK, depends on the nazi, and how many punches it takes to accomplish what you set out to do.
> do I become a nazi if I stop punching nazis?
Again, your call. It's really weird to me that you have such a hard time with this. You position this like there's tons of moral ambiguity, but I find it extremely concerning that you have a hard time determining who is and is not a nazi. The people who run around with swastikas and want to kill minority groups? They're the nazis buddy, don't worry about whatever weird grey area you've got concocted. When in doubt, feel free not to punch - it's that easy! When they're definitely a nazi, as so many are, and so obviously so, do your thing!
> To me you are literally the most dangerous person in term of risk of an authoritarian regime.
Weird, to me it's the nazis, since like, they advocate for fascism and genocide. Whereas I just feel it's ethical to punch genocidal fascists. Seems like one of us should be a lot scarier than the other
Anyway, I'm sorry you have such a weak ethical compass that somehow "nazis are bad" is a big deep scary question for you.
P.S. If you think the people punching nazis started the violence, I'd recommend reading up!
- bhupy 6y agoUpon punching said Nazi, if you were charged with felony assault, do you see that as a failure of the justice system? > IDK, depends on the nazi, and how many punches it takes to accomplish what you set out to do. At the risk of reading too much between the lines...if it takes enough punches to kill a Nazi, are you advocating for murdering a Nazi?
- staticassertion 6y agoIt was not subtext for murder, no. I wasn't planning to reply to subsequent comments but that does feel worth pointing out. Assault is assault, I don't see why it would be legal to punch someone.
