A lone dude like this wandering around antagonising people would presumably have some sort of psychiatric problems, so I wouldn’t immediately KO him in the street, and would need to ask him a few questions first in order to gauge how tethered he is to reality. But if I see a clump of neo-Natals together, then we can skip right to the violence.
Eh. Then you’re bringing in the whole “discuss your differences with a nazi” thing. And that’s never good ground to be on. If their brain is already broke, one more punch to the head ain’t gonna make much of a difference.
But seriously. Nazis are nazis. And it’s clear these guys were having a discussion. I trust this good Samaritan’s judgement in dispatching the Insecticide.
Nope, not discussing shit with Nazis. I just know of people even where I’m from (N. Ireland) who are mentally unwell and will walk around yelling crazy shit that, coming from anyone else, would result in instantaneous violence. But they’re known to be crazy, so they get a pass. Not just Nazis, but imagine if someone is wandering through an IRA stronghold yelling “fuck the pope!”. I don’t assume that person to be playing with a full deck, and anyone who beats him up would be looked down upon. If I see 4 dudes doing the same thing together, then it’s different. There’s much less chance of it being crazy Jim off his meds again in that case. Sometimes the crazy person just says the worst shit they can think of, and Nazism is like the express route to the top of Mount Cunt, so it’s easy even for a nut to rattle off some heinously-offensive diatribe in that vein.
All I’m saying - and I’m not suggesting everyone do this, just explaining where I’m coming from - is that I wanna know before I punch someone if they’re genuinely evil or if they have a pre-existing head injury that coincided with their psychotic interest in WWII. I’m not saying we don’t punch Nazis, just that we should be careful to target genuine Nazis and not unmedicated schizophrenics. And I don’t know anything about the guy in the gif in the OP, maybe he was with a large contingent of scum and he has a political science degree, in which case he got what he deserved. But if he was alone, and was riding the subway to get into town wearing a Nazi armband, and trying to get people to react to him, I’m 50/50 on whether or not he’s the real McCoy looking to martyr his chin for the cause or if he’s someone the mental health services have failed.
TL;DR: Punch Nazis, but separate the Nazis from the Nazi cosplaying schizophrenics.
