I understand your view and there is merit to it. But it misses the point. It's not 'politics I don't like' in general, it's naziism, the belief that some races are more deserving of life than others, aka dehumanization, and the belief that genocidal policies should be enacted to protect the ethnostate.
Society doesn't tolerate a person threatening someone's life with intent to carry out the threat, Naziism is an explicit threat to people's lives and should be seen as such. I agree simply punching them isn't the answer, but their beliefs should not be allowed to be espoused and must be resisted at every stage.
I literally disagree with none of this, except for the part where you say my view 'misses the point', since the point you're providing in contrast literally is my point, lol.
Nazism and extremism of all types SHOULD be challenged and resisted, emphatically, at every opportunity. But it is not the place of random citizens to manifest that challenge in the form of violence. Nor does the evidence show that doing that is effective in reducing/eradicating the incidence of said extremist ideology in the population. In fact, the evidence clearly shows it does exactly the opposite.
We have to have the resolve to do what actually works, even if it doesn't give the same instant gratification as it does to slug someone in the face who is says and believes shitty things.
