If you break a Nazi's arm he has 50 percent less arms to do Nazi shit with. (lemmy.world)

Killing creates killing but apparently exit programs do work

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But at least in Germany the main reasons for people to join exit programs are:

relationship with people from a different „race“
fear of violence from political opponents
violence between neonazis

One could definitely argue that some sort of light violence towards fascists is self-defense which has a chance to lead towards exit programs. Killing on the other hand causes a lot more issues.

I agree. Killing a nazi only causes more problems. You will be hunted by both the police and his fellow neonazis and they can and will use it for propaganda.

Killing a nazi only causes more problems.

"Kill Nazis" is a keyboard commando response to a more complex problem.

When your police departments and state legislatures and churches and clubs and mega-corps are all riddled with fascist partisans, there's no magic bullet that makes them all go away. At some level, you need to cultivate relationships in your community. You need to be friends with your neighbors. You need to be able to find allies in these corrupted institutions who are open to reform. You need to be able to reach out to the lumpen proletariat - the unemployed, the homeless, the young and afraid - and bring them into your community to reinforce it.

Only when you've got a community that's strong enough and unified enough to take on the fascist elements can you seriously talk about purging its worst elements. And once you've done the yeoman's work of organizing your neighborhood for people's mutual benefit, I think you'll find a lot of that fascist sentiment melts away of its own accord - perhaps even transforms into revolutionary sentiment, as your neighbors stop seeing one another as evil outsiders and start seeing them as comrades.

That sounds like a lot of effort. It's easier and makes me feel better to just type "kill the nazis!" on my keyboard after I get home from my 9-5 shithole job that has made me hate my fellow human, and then slowly accelerate towards a hellscape of my own making, bitching the whole way down.

So I generally agree with your sentiment, but after a certain point they're just lost. And at thatbpoknt I genuinely believe the only cure is a bullet (magic not required, but you might need a few)

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure. But ideally you can marginalize the folks who are batshit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

That mechanism could do more harm than good, and Nazis should not be left to fester.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

police and fellow neonazis

I feel like that's redundant.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

No. Getting caught by other nazis causes issues, and their murder clearance rates are notoriously bad, so...

[–] [email protected] -5 points 7 months ago

How dare you propose a non-violent solution? Don't you know nazis are the only violent ideologists that are incorrigible and need be killed? We should build camps for them or something...
