I got into a heated argument one time with a close friend over this. I told him it was cool to punch nazis and I support the protestors clashing with the proud boys or whatever. He told me I was fucked up because we shouldn’t be allowed to silence anybody’s free speech and ideologies, and that he should be able to punch me for being a socialist then.
When I told him, “Dude, they’re literal nazis and believe we should have a white ethnostate,” he responded with , “calling the alt-right Nazis cheapens the importance of the holocaust, and the only actual Nazis were members of the National Socialist Workers Party.”
Um excuse me, I can't be a Nazi. I'm not a member of the 1930s-1940s German NSDAP.
I've actually seen someone pull this before.
Richard Spencer literally uses this line.
