Yea, especially some of these young edgelords who are just trying to get attention.
To be clear, I'm not saying to not punch them. You throw up a nazi salute, you're a nazi. Hopefully the punch makes you realize how much of a fucking idiot you are and you stop being a nazi.
Reference aside im with merf. It's time to cut ties. Get them out of my scene, i don't want to be associated with them. Any protection they get from associating with punk is too much. They don't get to use that word, that word is ours. I much prefer nazi fuck
Location, location, location! Please do not generalize the whole country. I have risked my life, my job, and the future of others a bit by standing against bigotry like racism and hating lgbtq. But you must understand, some can't stand up. I got away, so far, with my privilege because I am a white male who's mildly intimidating when upset. I can't even complain about my racist boss to their boss. I'm trying to find new work. This is hard, and there is no safety. Still, we must try.
punk culture used some Nazi visual elements for shock, and one has to be a fool to mistake that for sympathy towards fascism, which implies submission to the State
If you look for how many anti-nazi, anti-fascist songs we have, it's a fair amount. Recently added one to my playlist by Cheap Perfume (it serves as an anti-mysoginist song as well).
I legitimately think some of them are surprised. Like the governors ball where the marine corp choir sang a song from Les Mis. I saw a lot of liberals saying yeah, stick it to him...but I think Trump supporters think they're the people's revolution.
Paul Ryan was a huge fan of Rage against the Machine. It was been his anti-government, free-market anthem. Then the band told him "Dude, you're the system we've been raging against" lol
I'm not righteous. I'm fighting to just fucking be able to survive. If it was possible for me to bury my head and be safe I would, but that time has passed.
You're not wrong, but he's probably full of shit when he says that. Mostly he believes that he deserves everything he's taking - actually deserves it, through some sort of innate superiority - and will say or do anything to make that happen. https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/01/28/elon-musk-billionaire-nazi/
Sadly, punk has a more mixed history with Nazism than you would think from modern social media. I'm glad we've gotten here, but the past is still the past
Don't know why people downvote that. They came in strong for a while when punk was first starting. They were dealt with violently.... And that's the *only* way to really keep them out. Not just deplorable, but punched in the face while every single person "I didn't see anything officer". Tolerance of hate will end us
These are all good things that are being spoiled by bad people. But by limiting those things, you are infringing on rights that the good people have fought for. Take em out at the core, don't just treat the symptom.
What's a Nazi doing in a PUNK show, it's PUNK, you know, the people who are anti-facists and anti-conformity. Idiot deserved to get punched for being an idiot, and some more for being a nazi.
What's next? A Klux going to a Kendrick Lamar concert? How dumb are people, am I above average in intelligence? Because I think of myself as a dumb fuck. I once fought a goose and lost, I once fought a peacock and lost. How dumb are people?
Pretty fuckin' dumb. Nazis have a habit of co-opting anything that makes them feel cool, cause they fuckin' suck. It's why they all cheer when Trump dances out to fortunate son, a song *explicitly* about not being Donald Trump, because their engagement with it ended at 'murica 'murica oohra fightin' commies. They're the kind of people who think that the helicopter scene in full metal jacket is "badass". They straight up don't engage with the meanings behind media, everything is just vibes.
Nazis get confused when they see white bald me. With masks singing about hating the government. They don't understand that just because real punks don't like being under the boot doesn't mean they want to be the boot as well
Violence is a neutral thing. When used by oppressors, it is a weapon of tyranny. When used by the oppressed, it is a weapon of liberation. Never deny your violence, it is a part of you. You would have no peace if not for violence. Hope you never have to use it, but always be ready to at any moment, and never turn away when the moment is right to make use of it. The question is if you are tyrant or liberator, not if violence is good or bad.
Tyrants will label liberators as tyrants. Kinda like how an abuser will call their victim abusive when they finally fight back. It's all part of their strategy to control.
They will, but it doesn't change facts. The tyrant is still a tyrant, the oppressed fighting back to save their people is still a liberator. The sword is not at fault, but rather who you choose to point it at and why.

The original Nazis were able to subvert and take over the socialist street gangs, so maybe that's what they are thinking.

I don't condone violence, but if your unquestionably being a Nazi, there's no tolerance for the intolerant, you deserve to be punched in the face.

Indeed. Being a nazi is violence.
TheVampireDante
Violence is not the answer - it is the question. In some cases the answer to it being asked is "Yes" and nazis get a very loud "YES".
Tumescentpie
It isn't violence. Violence means you are hurting someone or something. Nazis shouldn't exist. You aren't hurting anything real.
Illinifan88
Nazis want to destroy the social contract, so the social contract does not apply to them. Punch away.

Violence is a neutral thing. When used by oppressors, it is a weapon of tyranny. When used by the oppressed, it is a weapon of liberation. Never deny your violence, it is a part of you.

If you ever have to fight, make sure that you're not the one who loses. Do whatever it takes. Including hitting first if you have to.

When there's a Nazi around, they've already started the fight. Fight back, or you're going to get seriously fucked up later on.

Fillask
I've got one as my desktop mic so that's good to know! Though it does have a foam pop filter on it, which would blunt the.. blunt force a bit.

Maybe go for a punk aesthetic and put one of those spiked collars around the circumference of the pop filter?
