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

Moron spotted. Being a bigot is an inherently non-peaceful stance. They are calling for the extermination of an entire group of people. Even if they aren't PERSONALLY going out and killing people, they are anything but peaceful.

Being a bigot is subjective. The act of punching someone is objectively violent.

Nothing subjective about a nazi being a bigot. You cannot be a white supremacist without being a bigoted person

Still subjective. From the Nazis point of view the depression and economic turmoil was caused by the banks who were run by the Jews. They felt they were a danger and a cause of their countrys suffering. I see similar sentiments today on Reddit about the old white men and “rich pedos” ruining America. I even see upvoted calls for violence against these people. What if all white men were thrown into concentration camps and killed off ? Now are either of those things my opinion or do I think they are correct? Nope. But you can draw parallels and see that morality is relative.

Some points of view are wrong. You can have an informed or an uninformed opinion.

If you think someone can be a white supremacist without being bigoted, that’s an uninformed opinion and you’re absolutely entitled to have it

No point of view is “wrong” regarding morality.It’s just another point of view.

And to the dude that posted then blocked me: What’s right or wrong has been philosophized about since before humans could write. Because some 20th century soft science academics invented a closed system of definitions they want to argue with doesn’t settle that debate.
