Punching nazis in the fucking face
- Punching nazis in the fucking face
  There's no way this can backfire, right?
- "Oh you support Ukraine, you are a nazi!" punch
  (Who's gonna determine who is a nazi? I mean, by this logic, we can legalize killing rapists. Then you can go around killing people whom you declare to be a rapist.)
  
  Punching overt nazis (like assholes that use the salute or wear swastikas in the open), in order to avoid punching innocent people by accident
  
  I'm going one step further... shoving nazis into active volcanoes.
  
  If you feel personally attacked by the idea of punching nazis, you're probably a nazi.
  
  If you feel personally attacked by the idea of executing a criminal, you are probably a criminal.
  Edit: In fact, everyone who oppose the death penalty are criminals. Therefore, we should execute everyone who opposes the death penalty.
  
  See how you replaced punching with executing? That destroys the entire analogy.
  Besides, I don't feel personally attacked by the idea of executing criminals, I'm opposed to it based on principle, and because it doesn't even achieve its goals.
  
  I don't mind someone wearing a nazi armband or doing a nazi salute getting punched. I'd probably do nullification if I was on that jury.
  But making a law that says "You are legally allowed to punch nazis" is just disaster. That's telling people its okay to assault someone that, in their view, is a nazi. Like some karen might perceive being kicked out of a store, as the store manager "being a nazi".
  It should be up to the juries to nullify if they think the person getting punched is a nazi, not just do a blanket "okay" on "punching nazis".
  Edit: A better solution is just make it a crime to wear nazi articles of clothing, or doing nazi gestures, or say pro-nazi speeches.
