I literally disagree with none of this, except for the part where you say my view 'misses the point', since the point you're providing in contrast literally is my point, lol.

Nazism and extremism of all types SHOULD be challenged and resisted, emphatically, at every opportunity. But it is not the place of random citizens to manifest that challenge in the form of violence. Nor does the evidence show that doing that is effective in reducing/eradicating the incidence of said extremist ideology in the population. In fact, the evidence clearly shows it does exactly the opposite.

We have to have the resolve to do what actually works, even if it doesn't give the same instant gratification as it does to slug someone in the face who is says and believes shitty things.
