People really don't see this. I don't respect those people.
No, more like they don't see that fucker as a Nazi. They see a white american male just got knock the fuck out and scare for themselves. They don't want to rock the boat.

That's why you won't see a lots of "Violence is not okay" folks in a thread where a police just shot a black man. Or a thread where a white women shot a homeless man.

Donning a flag representing a call to incite violence against minority groups isn't okay either, but if a white dude getting knocked out somehow stirs your empathy and moral outrage more than the intimidation the aforementioned minority groups have to go through, you may want to reevaluate that pedestal you're standing on.

You're making shit up. I'd appreciate if you didn't do that.

I'm kinda disturbed from some of the posts in this thread...

Violence isn't okay.

Which is why I'm glad the Nazi was shut down. We could have had another Charlottesville had enough of them mobilized. Nazis stand for and proudly preach things like genocide and ethnic cleansing, after all.

Lmao, feel-good story of the year.

Love that the dude quipped "Night night" beforehand too. Like a cockey comic book hero.

Punch was very satisfying. The only thing I am worried about is some idiot doing this but actually carrying a weapon while instigating fights.

He actually called you out hard for pretending like the one punching him in the face is in the wrong for using violence while meanwhile the due is touting a symbol that actively and historically is ultra violent. Kind of hilarious and a super privileged position to be taking.

Don't know what to feel about this.

I'm kind of in the same boat. Fuck Nazi's and any other group that preaches hate or vilifies other based on race, religion, etc. At the same time, I can't help but think that violence like this is almost stooping to their level. We should aspire to think above our emotions when confronting people like this.

DAFUQ. Who casually walks the streets in the United States wearing a Nazi armband?

You say that like there isn't a sizeable contingent of Americans willing to go to bat for Nazism out of guilt and fear.

"Oh I guess I cant be a Nazi in public in America without getting punched in the face"

Why do people keep posing this question. That is obviously the desired outcome and it appears to have been effective.

People seem to think progressives are personally responsible for every bigoted asshat's worldview like we're fucking elementary school teachers.
 
In Germany it is.

It should be here too. We should follow a similar path against Nazism.

Free speech this, free speech that. This is not saying that pineapple on pizza is fucking gross. This is the promotion of genocide, racism, and hate. Limitations can be a good thing and I think we'll need that to silence these Nazi assholes and that can also prevent violence.

And what do you do when Nazis get into positions of power and start to turn their racist believes into laws?

Can I throw a banana at you(or some similar racist shit at you that fits your ethnicity)? harass you racially and you will sit back and be chill?

Be the big spoon as you cuddle them and speak about rainbows and Unicorn farts. They'll learn not to be mean.

Like a car or gun mowing down people on churches and streets? Because thats already happening. But they're just confused little nuggets according to the news.

Is there a link to the video outside of youtube? they took the one in the OP down
edit: Link is in buzzfeed story. Daaamn he got dropped quick.
Not sure what he was expecting. I'm surprised he didn't get beat up for just the band on his arm, let alone running his mouth at people

Technically hitting someone with a banana is considered assault in may states so maybe that poster was talking about the nazis. (lol no he wasn't).

Can't wait for the eventual New Order - Blue Monday (Richard Spencer getting punched) video remix of this.

Guy has no place spreading hate and Nazi ideology in my country.

I wonder how his world view will change after being violently punched. We shall see.

Personally? I don't give a shit. This should just communicate that Nazism is an unacceptable set of beliefs to boast about and even hold in the first place. Anyone who is subscribed to it is too far gone to make changing them a worthwhile effort, better to just prevent their rhetoric from being spread.

Yup. :/

I dunno I thought we had a war or something and decided that associating with nazi's was on some Fuccboi shit.

I wonder if as many Americans back in the 40s heard about us going to war and reading about the concentration camps and actively said stuff like "Yeah guys but violence is always bad".
