AOT Annie punch, oh and the nazi sympathesizers come out of the woodwork on this thread defending him or saying its not ok.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Punching isn't usually the best first move, but the normal rules go out the window when you're dealing with fascists so I support him 100%. Punching is a very mild appropriate response in that context.

inglorius bastards then

Not only did he punch him, he hit him with the Magnum look too. Make fascists afraid again.

I thought it stops being a paradox when you realize it's part of the social contract. Violate it too much and you're no longer guaranteed society's succor.

Ultimately, it's all a wash. The nazis we are punching would say their targets broke the social contract first. Tolerance should be an aspect of your morality, not the whole thing (and hopefully, that being said, your morality says punching nazis is okay).

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 6 hours ago

you are morally obligated to go beyond than just punching one.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Nope. The concept of the contract is that those who do not practice tolerance are not protected by it.

It's also worth exploring what intolerance is.

Thinking members of a religion/party/social group are wrong or crazy isn't being intolerant - that's simply disagreement. Intolerance is saying they shouldn't be allowed to exist or to have the same rights as you.

The fascists discriminate on religion, sexual orientaion/identity, gender, political affiliation, race, national origin, and more. They are wildly intolerant, and therefore do not have to be tolerated.

this is an extremely good link

I keep thinking about how much this kid rules. He warns the other kid instead of suckering punching him, understands and accepts the consequences of his actions before he takes them, then acts without hesitation. Not only does he punch fascists, he does it with principles.

The Filmer is trying to get some Charlie Kirk attention and launch his streaming career or some shit, instead no one knows who that fucking creep is, but we all know the face of who hit him.

The filmer looks like such a punk, tall, acting cool, doing the "I have a right to be a fascist, what are you gonna do about it" bit. the kid who threw the punch is about as unassuming as you can be, probably not super popular, kind of a big guy, when he speaks, there is a waver in his voice from not being the kind of guy who initiates violence that even comes off as sort of meek. He probably got made fun of by people like the Filmer.

But the Filmer captured this brief moment, not the face of a fascist getting punched, but of the righteous anger and imperative to defend the defenseless, coming for your fascist ass. Those who try to get along, who believe in kindness and humanity, unable to be civilized about smug incivility.

I'm making these details up, I dont know anything about these young people personally, but thats the message we received. Smug self interest advocating the destruction of lives, gleefulness in the face of incredible fascist violence; met with the rising tide of popular anger against this acute sickness at the heart of a sick society.

Humanity vs the inhumane, in one still image. A picture that says more than 1000 words, it speaks to a growing sentiment among many. We see him and we see ourselves, or who we think more people aught to be.

He gave him fair warning, which was a fuck ton more than what ICE does.
