But what shall we do? If it's wrong to hit, but right to punch Nazis? How can we say "no hitting" and also punch Nazis!?

It's quite simple. You say "No hitting" and then punch a Nazi in the face. The universe does not force your actions and words to align.

Why should we be allowed to be hypocrites? The fool's "hypocrisy" is the sage's "subtlety".

Ethics are a map. The map is not the territory, but you can't fold the territory up and put it in your pocket.

Trying to draw a perfectly consistent map is a fool's errand. Don't bother. The point of a map is to get you where you need to go.

I oppose hitting because I believe in the rule of law, civil order, the right to discuss disparate beliefs and consider any thought freely.

For ALL THOSE SAME REASONS, I cheer with every ounce of my soul when an antifa punches a Nazi.

"But nonviolence!" If nonviolence worked to stop Nazis, WWII wouldn't have had to happen. Denazification wouldn't've had to happen.

The degree of complicity is proportional with the amount of resistance we can safely exert.

5th rule of the ethics of means and ends is that concern with ethics increases with the number of means available & vice versa. Alinsky
