It may seem like proof of sympathy for Nazis if a liberal time-line has more tweets opposing punching them in face than condemning them. No.

Critics are saying that speaking back to Nazis doesn't work. It does. It has. 'Nazi' is now used to describe any authoritarian nastiness.

From grammar to feminism. It no longer means 'adherent of Hitler's ideas' but 'thoroughly irredeemable bad person who oppresses others.'

There are 'laws' & memes & fallacies devoted to this common knowledge that Nazism is the worst thing ever. We've won this battle of ideas.

Neo-Nazism still exists & still needs opposing but there is very little general doubt abt this. Meanwhile rising antisemitism sneaks by us.

Which is why it is so important to address horrible speech with speech based on liberal principles applied consistently to all groups.

Rather than advocating or condoning punching actual Nazis & dangerously calling everyone who has a problem with this a Nazi sympathiser.

Also known us "you're either with us or against us", the rallying cry of monstrous ideologies since time immemorial
