I have been seeing plenty of guillhotine and mollotov jokes here, and as the title says, punching nazis.

I’ve been reading a book about nonviolence and anarchism, and he basically shows how we shouldn’t use violence, even in extreme cases (like neo nazis).

The main argument is that the means dictates the ends, so if we want a non violent (and non opressing) society, punching people won’t help.

And if it is just a joke, you should probably know that some people have been jailed for decades because of jokes like these (see: avoiding the fbi, second chapter of the book above).

Obviously im up for debate, or else I wouldn’t make this post. And yes, I do stand for nonviolence.

(english is not my first language, im sorry if I made errors, or wansn’t clear.)

(if this is not pertinent, I can remake this post in c/politics or something)

(the book is The Anarchist Cookbook by Keith McHenry, if you are downloading from the internet, make sure you download it from the correct author, there is another book with the same name.)

    Anyways, interesting conversation. Life and kids call and I think we’ve exhausted the points we both wanted to make.

    That’s you right? You said that?

    Oh thank you white savior! You’re sacrificing so much time away from your wife and kids here in the meme mines!

      Nah this is easy. Just snacking and bullshitting while having a few laughs.

      Still no source, I see :)

        You’re literally not my audience. Your bruised ego and determination to be right completely glossed over every point I made in my previous post to reference a fucking TED talk.

        Bro, you’re the one wasting your time. I’m here all night.

          Hey man, if you’re not going give a source why can’t you just give me some more funny memes at least.

          If I’m not your audience like 30 replies deep, who is? Lmao? The one other tankie cheering you on? Preaching to the choir?

          Bro, you’re the one wasting your time.

          Hmm… Okay, Quixote.

            Poncho, fetch me my lance! This fat snacking projector refuses to play “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” and merely swings it’s bruised ego around like a flaccid shrews nose!
