This isn't really solved by punching Nazis, though. It's just adding to the controversy.
- PaulHoule 3y agoThe trouble with many people today is that they use labels like “Nazi” and “Fascist” quite indiscriminately; it would be one thing to apply them to the Jan 6 rioter, but it’s not unusual to see them applied to the police department, mainstream politicians who don’t incite violence, anyone the users disagree with, etc. If I ran a social network using any of those words would start a 24 hour cooling off period. (1) There are a lot of other words these people could use the same thing to describe post-1945 movements, and (2) even if you take away that word for pre-1945 movements the benefits of eliminating (1) are large enough to justify it.
