Punching Nazis in the face

[Philly]

How do we feel about it. Feel free to post all the memes/remixes about it in here too.

I don't know any Nazi's.

I am not supportive of it.

1. The guys punch was underwhelming and there is no reason why, given a surprised target and some running room, you can't connect solidly.

2. While it does generate some justiceporn feelings inside of me, one dude is just one dude. It is much nicer to see white supremacist rallies surrounded by a screaming mob of blacks and made to go home only after their noses have been rubbed in shit and they are made to seek police protection.

3. Progressives need to be very careful in our dealings with black bloc types. They are very effective at hogging headlines and stealing attention away from peaceful protest.

4. Not worth the effort. I would pay two weeks salary to see a video of somebody punching Trump or Pence or Cruz or Bannon like that. Would be glorious. But this dude is small fry.

Ex the contrarion as usual.


He got hit. It was funny. Good stuff.

I'm going to have to go with Comrade over ex in this case. Unless ex has any further points for my consideration.

Prior to Trump, Nazis could just be ignored. Now they've been pushed to the forefront and must either be debated or punched in the face. And debating with Nazis gets you nowhere.

Though I do agree with ex that it's disappointing he wasn't able to knock the Nazi out. He did, though, make the guy run away and start crying, revealing him as a punk and a coward.

The kicker for me was the punch itself. A solid knockout blow might have made it really funny, but seeing some limpwristed dude not even manage to knock out a totally stationary and unaware target really makes it lose steam. I firmly believe that if you are to engage in violence, it should be effective, swift and brutal. Comrade is more of a slappy cry type so I can see why this had such an impact.

i had no idea what you were talking about so i found this video

my favorite part is that he was talking about his Pepe lapel pin when he got punched

but... where was he crying?

[Philly]

I choose to interpret the blurry final shot of his face after he runs down the block and then turns back as an image of him crying. Can't say for sure but I'm comfortable going with it anyway.

his whining and crying on twitter and youtube after the fact is almost as good as the punch itself. for someone who wants 'peaceful ethnic cleansing' he's an awful big kitty.
