      With all due respect to my comrades, "kill all Nazis" isn't actually a real life strategy right now. And yes, the ideological, conscientious, and class differences in white supremacist movements are exceptionally important. Not all Nazis must be handled with the same tactics.

      There are a variety of ways we combat white supremacy at the activism level. This includes counter-recruitment, de-radicalization, protest opposition, disempowerment, estrangement, and so forth. Different strategies are more or less effective based on the specific groups.

      Three Percenters and Oathkeepers recruit heavily from military vets. White Power and Skinhead groups often self-isolate. Confederates meet openly. Young identitarians target colleges and high schools. And so forth.

      When you say "we must handle all Nazis the same" you are basically saying "we must kill all Nazis." Well? *gestures*

      Furthermore, we must find different tactics to defend ourselves from the various modalities of white supremacy. Trolling, physical attacks, psychological terrorism, community isolation, etc. are all active tactics they use to harm their targets. These are all different.

      You actually have to know what the difference is to effectively counter them. If you go against Identity Evropa nerds in the same way you go against an Oathkeepers group, it's not going to end in your favor.

      I happen to have quite a bit of first-hand knowledge of this. I have been physically attacked, harassed online, harassed in person, threatened, doxed, swatted, and more.

          I know exactly what it's like to be in Posobiec's crosshairs. I also know what it's like to be surrounded by a torch mob, and to watch my friends plowed into with a car. All of those things are harms. Some of those things are worse than others.

          There are a dozen other things on this list that I can't talk about publicly. But I assure you, my name is spoken on white supremacist podcasts with such regularity that I doubt you're going to find terribly many people more directly knowledgable about this.

          To demand that every Nazi be confronted in the exact same way is to tell some people to go to their deaths. To demand that they stay away unless they are willing to violently confront them violates the diversity of tactics and the justice we claim to defend.

          We uphold the Diversity of Tactics for the very reason that not everyone is suited to every form of labor; that not every form of labor is suited to every threat. We uphold this principle to honor the labor of those who can do that labor.

          All Nazis must be shut down. White supremacy must be smashed. That much is not up for debate. The ways we smash it are many and varied. And the people doing the smashing are many and varied.

          I could spend the next 30 tweets talking about just some of the many and varied efforts that are out there being done by brilliant, committed activists. Work you may not even know needs to be done.

          But I won't do that. Because the specifics don't matter. What does matter is there are people doing this work. And the discourse bulldozer apparently has no space for that right now. But I'm here to tell you that that bulldozer is an instrument of white supremacy.

          The fact that black bloc, pre-emptive violence is *sometimes necessary* and should be recognized as such is not the same as saying "the first and only thing to do is punch every nazi."

          Note: this thread is about tactics, not outcomes. The tactics of handling Nazis are many and varied. The outcome must always be the same.
