The one thing fascists can't stand is to be laughed at. Don't take them seriously - laugh at them and it hits harder than a gut punch.

2020 was a glorious year for punching fascists.
I think it varies a lot by the user. I think (hope) most people are just joking, but I'm sure we have a number of people who aren't joking.
But also keep in mind we absolutely have propaganda bots and trolls here. They're quite good at directing the hivemind, even without the assistance of complete loons.
Ill put it like this, im serious enough about it that this is as much of it I'd ever say on the internet.
You could try laughing at them instead, but maybe then they start the punching.
Not at all serious. If I see a Nazi walking down the street, I'm more likely to ignore or avoid him rather than confront him.
If the Nazis take over and implement Project 2025, among other evil acts, then that's a different situation.

I took a class on nonviolent protest in college. Covered the lives and work of ghandi, MLKJ, thoreau. Very enlightening.
