My ultimate goal was to shove my boot up a nazi's ass and to make sure they never showed up to any of our parties.
I know that was your goal. My point is that evidence shows those actions are not actually conducive to that goal. The fact that you got into those fights multiple times (guess they didn't all vanish after one beating, huh?) further backs that up.
But let's see what a former skinhead has to say about it. Hell, this might be one of the guys you beat up back then:
What's the supposed solution? Not make them victims how? The solution can't be to just let them spew their hate and cause fear themselves
See, the issue here is that you're conflating 'don't punch them' with 'let them do whatever they want'.
That's absolutely not what I or those experts suggest. Hate should absolutely be confronted, empathically and aggressively. But not violently, because making martyrs of them only makes things worse long-term.
Of course, if you had actually read either the first linked article or at least the part of it that was quoted in that linked comment, you would have seen that already.
One time? No. There were a few incidents but after a while it wasn't really a problem. Please don't get what I am saying confused. I get your point, but if you're a nazi, you crash someone's party, start goose-stepping in the pit and go calling people mongrels, you deserve the consequences coming to you. I will never apologize for standing up for myself or my friends.
I just remembered that I still have a silver necklace somewhere with the canine I kicked out of the mouth of one of them. I had it made and I wore it for years. Shit, now I need to find that thing and share a photo of it. Where the fuck did I leave it?
EDIT: You edited your comment so now mine makes a lot less sense.
You can edit your comment too, lol. Sorry, I 'revise' myself a lot if I find I want to word something a different way, or think it's better a different way.
