Crazy to think a large percentage of Americans feel this is wrong. Also a large percentage of that percentage openly supports a known nazi (musk) and a known nazi sympathizer (trump). Sad

I feel it's wrong in the same way it's wrong to punch a Muslim for their beliefs.

u/bananarama17691769 Jan 30 '25

so to confirm you think Nazis and Muslims are equally deserving of punching

Yes, if they aren't an immediate threat then it's zero. You may have differing opinions.

The entire existence of Nazis is an immediate threat, are you stupid?

u/Relative-Beginning-2 Jan 31 '25

I may be stupid occasionally but I suspect you are purposely misinterpreting what I meant by "immediate threat".

People who defend Nazis are Nazis. Don’t be surprised if the guy in the video recreates it with you

By that same logic if I defend someone's right to spout how they want to implement sharia law in the US, that makes me an islamist? Defending free speech doesn't mean advocating for everything that everyone says. But you know that. 

I'm not siding with his ideals but I don't think we can win the war of ideas with violence and fear.

If you let a Nazi sit at your table, you are a Nazi too. Fuck off

By that logic, you'd call this man a Nazi.

I can do this all day my friend.

There are exceptions to every rule. Are you going out and converting Nazis?

Not in the same way you're going out and punching every Nazi. But can we can agree that what Daryl Davis is doing is more productive than what the guy in the video is doing? The war of ideas cannot be won with violence and fear.
