I can hear your silent rage as we honour all those Nazi killers in the past. Why are you bringing up the 40’s anyway?
Is it ok to kill Nazis? Shoot them, bomb them, gas them, firebomb them? History tells us it’s so, certainly mistakes were made, but we consider it a net good. But merely punching them? That’s beyond the pale.
When people talk about punching Nazis in the face, they are talking (mostly) about people who were not even alive in the 1940s, let alone official members of the Nazi Party. They’re talking about people who are in the modern right wing, or centrists, or in some cases liberal Democrats.
They advocate punching such people in the face because their hateful rhetoric can lead to violence.
You’re the one connecting the celebration of bombing and “murdering” (I guess you think acts of war and judicial executions are murder) Nazis in the past to punching Nazis now. I think it wasn’t OK to stab this victim even if he called the other guy a slur for Pakistanis. But others advocate extrajudicial acts of violence against “Nazis” where it’s their rules and perceptions that determine who is a Nazi and who is not.
Bombing Birmingham because it might have some people with Nazi-adjacent political opinions seemed like a logical extension of your train of thought. You were mocking me for thinking punching Nazis is wrong because it was celebrated to kill actual Nazis during war and for crimes against humanity 80 years ago. So let’s resume the bombings then.

Noted. We should be bombing Hampshire.
Noted. You think Hampshire is full of Nazis? Why do you think Hampshire is full of Nazis?
How do you get from, history celebrates those that killed Nazis and that’s bad, to bombing Hampshire?
