I am one of the primary victims of the genocidal ideology and I firmly maintain that punching Nazis is, in fact, bad

Do you want to elaborate why you think so? I’d be interested.

Violence has to be careful, planned, and deliberate to have any chance of not spiraling out control, and Nazis thrive much better in social chaos than good guys do

Punching Nazis in the streets is much more likely to help their cause than hurt them

Think of it like police: do police attacking protesters with tear gas and rubber bullets make people think "oh gee golly whiz, I better dissemble peacefully!"

To me, it’s a bit of a metaphor. I’m not a violent person and would personally not _actually_ punch a Nazi. I have as close to 0 tolerance as I can, though. And if I were the punching kind, this would not be limited to verbal attacks

And I have a really hard time feeling empathy for a punched Nazi. Or horror at the puncher, who only did what I would do if I had been raised a little differently.

And finally, I think the Nazis are lost and won’t be convinced by anything, violent or not. Best to make sure everyone knows their behavior is of the deserves-punching kind.

(Sorry, didn’t mean to highjack your explanation to provide my own. Yours is perfectly valid, of course.)

I have a hard time feeling empathy, too. But there's a difference between what feels good to me and what I think is morally, and strategically, ethical.
