    Type “punch a Nazi” online but then never learn to throw a punch or lift any weights.

      This site, and honestly modern leftism in general, is utterly weak and in a sorry state. Lotta tender kids hiding in their discord groups talking hard about punching nazis, overthrowing the government, revolutions, etc. But if even half of them went out and organized and voted as regularly as the conservative orc army we wouldn’t need to be boarded up behind cultural firewalls.

        Right the people saying they’ll punch a Nazi are also people who have run to Lemmy as their sole social media because they don’t enjoy being in conflict all the time with other people who disagree with them.

      I’ve only not punched a Nazi because I don’t live in America and they’re usually around the very southern part of the country while I live in the northeast. Plus, being a Nazi here is illegal.

      The left was/is stupid to let the right dominate the firearms and martial arts space. I have been doing martial arts for more than a decade, and now I have basic training in firearms, and even own some that I can legally (living in EU). Next year I’m going to a 3 days combined firearms training with an also leftist friend. There is no reason we can’t or shouldn’t do these kind of things

        Lefty former martial-art teacher and gun owner here. I fully agree and have to argue about it a lot. This generation of lefties is completely dulled by short-attention-span self-medication and escapism and pseudo-socialization through discord and other online chats substituted for real socialization.

        Whenever you talk about the need for actual organizing, forming groups, taking action, suddenly everyone has nine-hundred very special “conditions” that prevent them from doing anything. We may have co-opted the term “snowflake” from the right but it was targeted accurately at the start. Everyone thinks “someone is coming” or that there’s going to be a revolution “any day now” as if there’s some underground left-wing movement planning things and they’re just not invited. Motherfuckers you all ARE the left-wing in this country, ya’ll think the fucking democrats are gonna save you?

        The left also gave up on the american flag, easily isolating itself in the public eye as an anti-american group. I hate that. I don’t get it. Yes, America has been awful and continues to be so, but if you don’t claim ownership of the goddamn land you live on, someone else is going to take it… and guess what’s happening.

        This is just what it’s like to get old and grumpy. Youth is wasted on the young. I did my time organizing, I did volunteer work and phone banking for my local community and leaders, I tried. I really, really tried. I even narrowly avoided assassination a while back but details would dox me. And I get lectured here about the ten thousand reasons why they can’t do hard things, why they have been relegated to retreating to back-water websites nobody visits having imaginary fights with imaginary nazis. Part of me is so done with humanity I feel like a lot of these kids deserve the consequence of being self-absorbed and undisciplined. But I guess I still have some lingering hope that someone will read something that makes them get off the couch.

      Well, see, the punching is metaphorical.

      Really you should need bleach if you did it right.

        Is that to clean the blood from your shirt after you get a nose bleed from stressing about actually being physically violent

      okay, lesson here: you see those two big knuckles? those are your punching knuckles. you punch with those. you punch with the other two you’re gonna break your hand. line those up with the big bone, you got a good fist. now at least you can throw a punch without completely breaking yourself.

      I see lots of people on the left type “punch a Nazi” online

      “punch a Nazi” reads better than a more realistic “throw a feeble, limp-wristed nudge that hardly registers at a nazi”

    I got confused and threw soup at the Nazi. Then I hi-fived a kitty.

      That means you either patted or punched your family…

    Ya’ll desperately wish there were right-wingers and nazis on this site. The isolationism of the internet has left the entire population having arguments in the shower and imagining how thoroughly they owned their imaginary opponents.

    Protip: you can ACTUALLY go outside and punch ACTUAL nazis at protests and demonstrations in towns near you! themoreyouknow.gif

    why punch a nazi when you have a can of soup, use it instead

    source
  • nebulaone@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I think the following is a better idea:

    Be better than them, help people negatively affected by them, vote, try to be less cynical and more rational, instead of continuing the cycle of hatred. It is better for your own mental health and the lives of others.

    I am just as susceptible to anger as anyone else and by no means above it, just to make that clear. You don’t need to and can’t become a saint.

    I know people don’t want to hear this, because humans are wired to be extremely responsive to hate (just look at twitter) and I don’t mean to be preachy, but this would be a much greater net positive for humanity.

      what sage advice

    • AntiBullyRanger@ani.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      nebulaone, did we see the saw the same meme?

      We are already better than them:

      • we care for nature
      • we intersect and build solidarity
      • we feed everyone And we also end oppression.

      Nazis were breed into: -destruction of nature

      • isolation & exclusion
      • feeding only the strong And continue to traffick at gun point.

      What more do you want narcissistic sociopaths to do? Become liberals‽

    • Harvey656@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Ah yes, I’m sure the fascists will get their act together once they see us, respectable people holding hands and being good litte humans. That has always historically worked.

      Yes. Do all that.

      And also punch a nazi.

    Even though I punched Nazis myself back in the nineties, I think that might not be the best way to go.

    Show unconditional love, until every last idiot sees, who’s the asshole.
