I have been seeing plenty of guillhotine and mollotov jokes here, and as the title says, punching nazis.

I’ve been reading a book about nonviolence and anarchism, and he basically shows how we shouldn’t use violence, even in extreme cases (like neo nazis).

The main argument is that the means dictates the ends, so if we want a non violent (and non opressing) society, punching people won’t help.

And if it is just a joke, you should probably know that some people have been jailed for decades because of jokes like these (see: avoiding the fbi, second chapter of the book above).

Obviously im up for debate, or else I wouldn’t make this post. And yes, I do stand for nonviolence.

(english is not my first language, im sorry if I made errors, or wansn’t clear.)

(if this is not pertinent, I can remake this post in c/politics or something)

(the book is The Anarchist Cookbook by Keith McHenry, if you are downloading from the internet, make sure you download it from the correct author, there is another book with the same name.)

    Oh no! Your social normative life pulls you away from the vocal and unfazed radical, however will we survive without your reasoned and heady logic?!?!

            Bruh that’s literally you right now.

            I’m compiling metadata on white nationalists for unicorn riot right now. This is literally my job. Of course I’m fucking weird you beige suburbanite.

              Cool memes, kid. Projecting again, I see.

              But alright, buddy sure, just don’t forget to film it. I’ll be really shocked to see you do anything more than memes and tilting at windmills.

              (still haven’t found a source, I see)

                Anyways, interesting conversation. Life and kids call and I think we’ve exhausted the points we both wanted to make.

                That’s you right? You said that?

                Oh thank you white savior! You’re sacrificing so much time away from your wife and kids here in the meme mines!

                  Nah this is easy. Just snacking and bullshitting while having a few laughs.

                  Still no source, I see :)

                    You’re literally not my audience. Your bruised ego and determination to be right completely glossed over every point I made in my previous post to reference a fucking TED talk.

                    Bro, you’re the one wasting your time. I’m here all night.
