Attack on Alt-Right Leader Has Internet Asking: Is It O.K. To Punch a Nazi? (nytimes.com)

I'll start. Yes it's OK.

No. Violence is wrong. Period. Nazi's are horrible people, violent people. Being violent lowers yourself to their level.

Go high when they go low.

Freedom of speech is for the speech you don't like, or it's for no speech at all.

Why is this even a discussion? Have we lost all sense of what the Enlightenment brought?

Yes, it's funny. Yes. it's a crime.

So laugh and charge the guy with assault. End of story.

Clearly not. To quote - "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

The correct solution to someone spouting Nazi ideology is to explain why they are wrong and then ignore them. I'm sure anti-abortion folks would love to punch me for "supporting killing babies". What is wrong, and how wrong it is, is a matter of perspective.

Did we think that we'd long got past the point where everyone had agreed that the Nazi ideology was terrible? Yes. Looks like we celebrated too soon. Time to educate a few more idiots.

If you answer yes you probably are a nazi.
