Nazis liking something is a terrible reason to dislike that thing.
Nazis have lots of awful political goals. They also like dogs, good roads and effective public administration.

I'm really tired of leftists making themselves look like complete bozos by adopting Soviet-style compromat.
Nazi arguments are weak, old, and counters are well-documented. Their political backing rests mostly on a few known rich racists and demagogues.

People closer to centrist can be as naive and gullible as they like about ethnonationalists and Nazi dogwhistles. Real problem, sure.
None of this makes the techniques you used to freeze "problematic" kids out of your high school cliques suddenly effective.

Go after their money. Go after their politicians, and the politicians willing to work with them. Go after Gab.
Make those in power uncomfortable, or take that power away if you can. Leave common shmucks alone unless they commit crimes.

If the Proud Boys come to town, by all means kick their asses. Stand up for yourself. It's the right thing.
They're still going to have police escorts, though.

Gavin McInnes is still allowed to brandish a claymore in public during a lynching.
The cops protecting him have guns. The police force has unions. Those unions are theoretically subject to political power.

Handling any of this is difficult, overwhelming, potentially life-threatening.
It's understandable that it's not for everyone. But Twitter lynch mobs solve nothing.

Lot of this is my own frustration at living in a country where the )))ethnonationalists(((* hold power, yet I don't even speak the language well.
"Luckily", I parse as Polish until I need to say something reasonably complicated, or show ID...

Still, despite the fact that Poland is a politically polarised country where rapprochement is rare, there is a lot of effective leftist* political activity.
Encouraging, even if I can barely participate.
* No, not from the fucking communists, though they also exist.
