Beating up Nazis has actually shown to be a very effective way of dealing with them. This isn’t just hyperbole when the British union of fascists tried to do a march in London, the British public came out in mass and violently dealt with them. That display was so prominent that the British Union of fascist never recovered. A similar thing happened in America after a nazi rally in Madison Square Garden. Publicly and violently dealing with Nazi is actually a very effective tactic deal with them.

People who went to punk shows in the 80s literally beat them out of the scene. It worked really well actually.

To be fair, the battle of Cable Street happened in 1936. Three years later Britain was at war with Germany, that's the real reason why the BUF fucked off.

There is a big difference between using violence against an organized group of people intending to use violence, versus beating up a single guy who wasn't looking to fight at all.

Once a stubborn group disconnected from society becomes organized, armed and groups up, then there is no other way to sway them.

But attacking individual bigots like this, is exactly what causes them to group up. Bigotry like this in its underdeveloped stages can be dealt with peacefully. but, antagonizing them, attacking them, alienating and bullying them will only push them further down the facism rabbit hole

Beating up Nazis is not about deradicalizing said Nazi but about showing that fascism is unacceptable and won’t be tolerated

It deradicalises other would-be Nazis.

Plus it has a non-zero chance of leaving them brain damaged enough to forget what a Nazi even is... alongside their wedding day but details details.

Lmao the Nazi sympathizer wants people to "sway" them. Nah dude. We don't care about you, we don't want you in society. We have no intention of "swaying" you. That's on your parents, blame them for their failure. Go all the way down your shitty little rabbit hole and stay there in fear of retaliation for your "beliefs".

And if it causes y'all to group up, good. Much easier to deal with Nazis when they're sticking with each other, and not spread out, talking about how "it's just a belief/words" and "be tolerant of it", like you're doing.

That's why the people dealing out the beatings need to be diverse
