From the same intellectual honesty that "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" comes from.
"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words."
I thought we had all agreed that we punch nazis? LIke was this not the agreed apon reaction. If you had something more dangerous than a fist I would say you could use that... but this feels overly cowardly
It has been a while, but it used to happen around once a week a back in the day. They used to show up to music venues they weren't wanted at, and if made to leave, would start fights. If they were returning from a place they got the boot from, they would just poor in and start fighting. If it wasn't a place they could just enter, they would congregate outside.
I was involved in martial arts for nearly two decades, I attended many tournaments in that time. I don't make any claims of being an amazing fighter but I was able to hold my own and I can really take a hit.
There is a huge spectrum of tournaments out there. Some of these venues were far less strict than others, and basically let in anyone who was good at faking being from an actual karate school, because some hosts just cared about collecting entry fees. This was a long ass time ago, I have no idea if it's still like this now.
So there were almost inevitably a scattering of delusional psychopaths who just wanted to fight, from gang-members to college kids who watched Bruce Lee films so many times they thought they knew how to fight. And of course a few tattoo-plastered biker types who were able to set aside their ego enough to actually put on a gi and follow tournament etiquette. (Love those black belts that are so stiff you can tell they've never been worn before that day.)
So it's easy enough to see things like hate symbols tattooed on some people's chests or arms. I am proud to say that I have gone against some of these chucklefucks and hit them hard enough that they fell down and had a hard time getting back up. One just left after the first hard kick to the nuts. Fortunately (and unfortunately) the same kinds of tournaments that let just anyone in also seemed really lax about enforcing "light contact" rules and people were routinely just smashing each other as hard as possible, and why I eventually stopped doing tournaments.

This is good advice on it's face, but what if you're living in a country full of Nazis?
Like, let's say - hypothetically - the cops are Nazis. And all your mass media is full of Nazi agitprop. And friends and family are periodically repeating Nazis talking points. And you are feeling increasingly isolated by the sheer madness of the outside world.
You know what's crazy? People who are Nazis would say exactly this about the "Woke" Society. They see no difference in accepting Trans people and killing minorities. Just take a sharp look at the conservative narrative.
"Green Fascist's with woke ideology" to what about their way of live.

It reminds me of the left/right split during the Iranian Revolution. Folks love to post pictures of "Before 1979" with the wealthy kids of the industrial elites dressed like EU/US fashionistas. Iranian progressives saw this as a privilege of the elites that shouldn't be exclusive to the upper end of society. Iranian conservatives saw it as a symptom of elitism that shouldn't be permitted at any tier of society.
After the revolution, conservative Iranians (very briefly) aligned with conservative Americans, as the Ayatollah and the Reagan/Thatcher governments aligned on this idea of regressive religious anti-Communism. But then Iran didn't open itself back up as a western gas station, so the American white supremacists and the Iranian Islamic supremacists fell back into conflict again.
Then it was just two ultra-orthodox conservative groups screaming "Woke Decadent Radicals!" at one another, while everyone around them were ground to paste by the slew of wars to follow.
Using the ceramic piece of a spark plug as the "bullet" and just about any sort of sling will break the cars windows without setting off most car alarms.
Thirty years ago I was reading poorly photostatted (sic) fliers at the local record shop explaining the difference between Nazis with red shoelaces and Nazis with yellow shoelaces. It was exhausting then, too. They're all basic bitch Nazis. Treat them the same way you would treat a potentially harmful arthropod, like a scorpion. You don't have to be a fucking entomologist to understand this shit.
Shun the Nazi. Leave it alone. Don't ask for help from Nazis.
I'm sure they've convinced themselves that it's the "woke mob" that will unjustly cancel them like they did the kind chaps carrying tiki torches in Charlotte. /s
