Punch Nazis is bankrupt in any case: Punching an ideologue makes you feel good, but it won't change their mind. So it serves your own need for righteousness but little else.
"But it worked in WWII", someone will say. No. They didn't punch Nazis in WWII. They killed them. They took to them with rifle and bayonet, bombed their towns and factories, and forcibly dismantled their party and government.
You don't need to convince the person if you're unilaterally revoking their right to live. You just shoot, bomb, and stab them. Punch a Nazi is bankrupt because it doesn't solve the problem it purports to. You reduce Nazi headcount by convincing them and by giving people sane alternatives so they don't end up throwing their lot in with clowns celebrating Hitler's birthday or by straight up killing them, and Punch does none of those.
