Turns out the best ways to defeat Nazis is to punch them:

Richard Spencer says that antifa sucked all the fun out of college appearances, calls it quits

Elements of the left say that antifa tactics -- direct, physical confrontations with fascists and racists -- are a "gift to the alt-right," letting them play victim and validating their paranoid fantasies about the persecution of white dudes -- but punched Nazi Richard Spencer says that antifa tactics have worked as intended, making it impossible for him to continue his on-campus recruitment tour for his forthcoming race-war.

Thank you Antifa. Thank you for risking your lives, your livelihoods, your freedom, and your safety to protect others from the inhuman menace that is fascism. You will never get the credit you deserve, especially with so many condemning you, even those that should be sympathetic. But thank you. You are a reminder that the spirit of resistance is alive and well in the human heart.

Fascists don't understand anything but violence. Gotta communicate in the language they understand. Nothing else has worked.

I was trying to phrase it in the allowed letters of the title so maybe could have phrased better. The woman, who is Jewish, had a disagreement with Spencer's mother - then the alt-right tried to crucify her. It's in the article.

But we're on the same side so I'm ok with that. I hope you are too. We need to stick with each other. It's the only way we're going to get through this.

I thought the idea of shedding tears for a neo-Nazi would be understood as sarcasm on a Democratic site. I can't explain any more than that.

there was a neighborhood bully who picked on all of us, and everybody was afraid of him.

Then one of the older kids in the area who was taking boxing lessons decided to start a boxing club. In my first match I got paired with the bully. Facing off in a ring with gloves on, and a referee keeping it safe and fair, I punched him in the nose. He ran home crying and never picked on me again. After that, the other kids started standing up to him, and eventually he backed down and stop being a bully.

It wouldn't surprise me, however, to find out he went right on being a bully to other people.

Yes! Punch Nazis!

Yes! Be violent to these pieces of shit!

I'm sure the Nazi Safety Officers will show up to scold us. Fuck it.

Nazis should not be safe in America.

I got temp-banned from Daily Kos for advocating violence against these pieces of shit.

Sorry, not sorry. Because FUCK NAZIS!!!

These fuckers want to kill us. They want to bring ethnic cleansing back. They want to throw people in ovens. They want a second Holocaust.

And I'm fine with doing anything, absolutely ANYTHING, to stop that shit. Including shooting them in the face when they try.

There is no such thing as an unprovoked attack against a Nazi. All acts of violence against them are, to a greater or lesser extent, acts of self-defense.

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
