Wish I could punch Nazis but the whole "problems can't be solved without police intervention" thing kinda gets in the way. I'm not going to fucking jail because I slapped some ignorant bastard.

the only* solution. ive been coming to understand talking them out of being fascists rarely works if they are that deep into it.
You cannot logic someone out of a position that they didn't use logic to get to.
Only two options really, play on their emotional reasoning to make them feel the victim of their own beliefs, or you know, make their physical safety in question.
i'm familiar with option 2, violence is straightforward.
but how does option 1 work?
Manipulate them basically. Essentially weaponize the shift that conservatives have when they are personally affected by something. Think McCain turning around on gay marriage because his kid was gay or whatever.
If trump and maga can manipulate using emotion because these people only use emotional reasoning, surely a competent person can weaponize other grievances in the opposite direction.
Just make them more mad about something else that we can all agree on.
There's a saying in my language (Tamil): 'Even siblings don't help the way a good beating does'
Sri Lanka doing it right! 🤣
Close, but South India
I can't believe this hasnt been taken down. This site is chock full of pussies who think this is advocating violence and you should just tolerate Nazi freedom of speech and try to win them over in the "marketplace of ideas."
That sounds like a lemmy.world problem
Similar situation with punk. There are still Nazi Punks, but they're asking for trouble at most gigs or areas with that sort of influence. From Dead Kennedys to Chumba Wamba, folks make it known these days they're not welcome. Shame about the few bands here and there still spreading the rhetorics, yet barking dogs will always be heard in the distance...
Indeed, the situation with punk is very similar to the situation with punk. Good point.
Lol I just noticed I did this. Serves me right for getting on Lemmy after medicating! Thanks haha
I was at a party in college & a young lady was having a not so great night. She passed out, horked up what apparently looked like Alice Springs Chicken from Outback, & one of her sorority sisters had drawn a swastika on her forehead.
My roommate & I knew where she lived. So I went to grab puke-a-potomous, she went to get her car.
By the time I got back to puke-a-potomous on the couch, someone had turned the swastika into a very crudely drawn Windows logo.
Now I kinda wanna see some NaziPunk get pinned down at a concert, while someone converts his offensive tattoos into corporate logos.
was it the DK Nazi Punks Fuck Off song that belied their feelings of the nazis
I've been to punk rock bowling in Vegas I think four times. One constant is that any hint of Nazi bullshit will get immediately and enthusiastically trampled.
Find a fascist? Blizt'em with a brick! They'll Nazi it comin!
You can't destroy Nazism with your mind. You have to use your body.
My mind controls my body. Checkmate Lemmy.
Mind/body dualism is a myth, your mind is your brain and your brain is a bodypart.
Uno reverse card, Lemming.
