One person: Nazis and fascists are terrible human beings. Violence against them needs to be encouraged and normalized.

Second person: But fighting violence with violence will never get anyone anywhere. I don’t agree one bit. Martin gained peace by PRACTICING. PEACE. Not by fighting.

“First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

– Martin Luther King Jr,

Me: I have to confess I have no problem seeing protesters blocking streets and even punching an occasional Nazi.  I feel like the French Resistance during WWII when it comes to fighting the Nazis - whatever it takes.
