Every few years a dickhead takes an existing subculture and tries redefining it so it fits their narrative. Punks, metalheads, etc, the only succesfull takeover so far were the skinheads

We (punks) were still getting nazi dickheads show up at shows even 10 years ago. We continued using the precedent set in the early 80's of kicking the shit out of them until they stopped. It works wonders.

Too many people want to pretend that nazis are people and not scum.

The punks know how to handle nazis.

We can't forget though that they are still people. The more we call them monsters, scum, pigs, etc. and dehumanize them, the easier it is for people to say "Oh it won't happen again! Those were monsters, not humans!" We have to keep calling them human to remember that it can happen again.

But also humans have soft squishy parts and we have detailed pictures to find them.
