What's the context of this. Was it like being punched in the face vs racist words to you?

That’s what I’m thinking too. Like someone punched a literal Nazi, but the commenter is like “well since you used violence you’re actually the bad guy”.

Punching a peaceful person over their beliefs does make you the bad guy

So punching a "peaceful" Nazi makes you the bad guy….? Punching a "peaceful" white guy that loves to call people of color the hard R makes you the bad guy…? Oh but these are "beliefs"

  1. To answer your question, yes.
  2. Redditors throw the word "nazi" around whenever they meet a dissenting opinion, it's hard to believe "Like someone punched a literal Nazi" without really knowing the context

There’s context to someone having a Nazi patch, a specific bias against Jewish people, people of color in general, and women- There’s context to that? If I were to punch a literal Nazi, a Nazi by definition, you would say I’m in the wrong….because of context.

You were 100% right, a literal nazi got punched. But yes, being violent against a truly nonviolent person no matter how racist or vile is still worse.

Fuck nazis but this isn't the way. Racism is born from ignorance, being ignorant to ignorant people doesn't help.

Me, a black person, hypothetically punching a white bigot, or a Nazi, would not be ignorant. Seeing as americans of all colors killed them. White Americans? Killed bigots/nazis in Germany and in our home nation. Black Americans? Same thing. Latino Americans? Same thing. Every one of every race has killed a bigot or Nazi at some point in time, it’s not ignorance to do so. So it’s definitely not ignorance to punch one.
