I have been seeing plenty of guillhotine and mollotov jokes here, and as the title says, punching nazis.

I’ve been reading a book about nonviolence and anarchism, and he basically shows how we shouldn’t use violence, even in extreme cases (like neo nazis).

The main argument is that the means dictates the ends, so if we want a non violent (and non opressing) society, punching people won’t help.

And if it is just a joke, you should probably know that some people have been jailed for decades because of jokes like these (see: avoiding the fbi, second chapter of the book above).

Obviously im up for debate, or else I wouldn’t make this post. And yes, I do stand for nonviolence.

(english is not my first language, im sorry if I made errors, or wansn’t clear.)

(if this is not pertinent, I can remake this post in c/politics or something)

(the book is The Anarchist Cookbook by Keith McHenry, if you are downloading from the internet, make sure you download it from the correct author, there is another book with the same name.)

    This is the typical impotent opinion I hear from mentally healthy people. I am not.

    So if I see one in public, even if they are surrounded by their friends, I will punch the ever living fuck out of them for you, since you are too limp-dick to do it yourself.

      I have a good life and don’t wish to encounter physical harm, so thanks for offering to do it for me. Too bad you won’t be there if / when I encounter a nazi. It would have been great to have you fight on my behalf.
