No, but using violence to stop someone doing it is barbaric
Tell that to half of Lemmy. These people love punching Nazi memes.
Because punching nazis is cathartic
And morally correct.
Never let intolerance take root.
How would you know? You've never punched a Nazi.
Ok
There is exactly one type of person who doesn’t want to punch a Nazi.
Most reasonable people? Anyone who doesn't LARP on the Internet?
No, a Nazi.
If you tolerate people that are intolerant towards you under the guise of tolerance, then you are just giving up tolerance.
So, I don't want to punch anyone, ever. Under your infantile definition, I'm a Nazi? Because I'd prefer to see them arrested and jailed.
No, you're just not smart...
The fact that you cannot or do not want to apply what i said to the general concept of a society makes me think youre just arguing to argue.
If nobody punches Nazis, ever, then everybody lets Nazis punch people without repercussion. Now Nazis and other scum can just overrule your pacifist agreement and youre on the losing end.
Live-action role play on the internet?
Isn’t that an oxymoron?
Outdated definition, now it's used for people pretending to be something they're not more generally. Right wingers getting into camo and doing drill pretending to be military. Terminally online left wingers pretending they could punch a nazi or start a revolution.
What’s the word for crusty old contrarians?
Is that a shot at me? I'm pretty sure I can't be contrarian if my opinion is the vastly more mainstream one. Most people don't advocate political violence like that. I'm not sure a lefty can be the one calling people crusty, it's your end of the aisle pioneering that state of being. And I'm not old, sorry.
I guess I figured with all the time you spend online you might have seen the term I'm looking for.
There's no need to take it so hard buddy, people might think you're defending yourself.
Not sure I'm taking anything hard right now. Like I said I'm not a terminally online lefty so I've missed whatever passive aggressive thing you were going for.
Cool.
