I saw an article a few days ago—sorry, can't find the link—making the argument that "Punch Nazis!" is counterproductive since so many people around us are "proto-Nazis" who only go full-on Nazi if that's the way the wind is blowing, and we shouldn't punch them.
Nobody's talking about punching proto-Nazis.
We're talking about punching actual Nazis.
The reason why we punch them is to ensure we never get to the point where the proto-Nazis think it's safe to go full Nazi.
