I will probably block folks talking about punching Nazis (seeing this in my feed today). We have enough violence in this world today, and frankly I don't trust most people to determine who is a Nazi and who isn't.
This whole meme seems to think that Nazis are just going to accept the punch and that this won't just lead to escalating violence that will end with a innocent bystander in the hospital or dead.
This kind of moral certitude combined with violence almost always leads to worse things.
