The problem with injuring Nazis is that they tend to just recover, and then go back to doing Nazi shit.

There was a pretty extensive study done from 1939 to 1945 on how to best deal with Nazis; for best outcomes, I'd refer to the results and testing techniques uncovered then.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 17 points 7 months ago

If only they'd applied the lesson more thoroughly.

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

Too many of the wealthy nazis were let go to relocate to other parts of the world and continue their nazi bullshit. Hopefully next time that mistake isn't repeated.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

Too many of the wealthy Nazis lived in the United States and were never even in danger.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago

At least one of them may have been killed by a distant relative of mine. That or he did a fucken hate crime against some Prussian dude.

Well, TIL: hate crimes are cool sometimes.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

I aint saying hate crimes are cool. My family legit doesnt know. If it was a Prussian Nazi then you basically killed the worst type of German that isnt an inbred mountain dweller. If it was just some Prussian exile then that relative just killed some dude for being a Prussian instead of an Alemanni speaker.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Okay, so hate crimes are maybe good sometimes. The nuance is appreciated.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

The 1911 is still the preferred method, be sure to clean and oil it regularly.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

See, I'm not sure I agree. I'm an aggressively terrible shot.

[-] CertifiedBlackGuy@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Put enough of em in front of you and that doesn't matter (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

That's valid, empowering, and demoralizing-all at the same time. Thank you.

[-] CertifiedBlackGuy@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

The universe has been around for 14 billion years, and I got to share this moment out of all 14 billion of those years with you.

Remember that (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

Killing creates killing but apparently exit programs do work

[-] Random_German_Name@feddit.de 8 points 7 months ago

But at least in Germany the main reasons for people to join exit programs are:

  • relationship with people from a different „race“
  • fear of violence from political opponents
  • violence between neonazis
[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

One could definitely argue that some sort of light violence towards fascists is self-defense which has a chance to lead towards exit programs. Killing on the other hand causes a lot more issues.

[-] Random_German_Name@feddit.de 3 points 7 months ago

I agree. Killing a nazi only causes more problems. You will be hunted by both the police and his fellow neonazis and they can and will use it for propaganda.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Killing a nazi only causes more problems.

"Kill Nazis" is a keyboard commando response to a more complex problem.

When your police departments and state legislatures and churches and clubs and mega-corps are all riddled with fascist partisans, there's no magic bullet that makes them all go away. At some level, you need to cultivate relationships in your community. You need to be friends with your neighbors. You need to be able to find allies in these corrupted institutions who are open to reform. You need to be able to reach out to the lumpen proletariat - the unemployed, the homeless, the young and afraid - and bring them into your community to reinforce it.

Only when you've got a community that's strong enough and unified enough to take on the fascist elements can you seriously talk about purging its worst elements. And once you've done the yeoman's work of organizing your neighborhood for people's mutual benefit, I think you'll find a lot of that fascist sentiment melts away of its own accord - perhaps even transforms into revolutionary sentiment, as your neighbors stop seeing one another as evil outsiders and start seeing them as comrades.

[-] daltotron@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

That sounds like a lot of effort. It's easier and makes me feel better to just type "kill the nazis!" on my keyboard after I get home from my 9-5 shithole job that has made me hate my fellow human, and then slowly accelerate towards a hellscape of my own making, bitching the whole way down.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

So I generally agree with your sentiment, but after a certain point they're just lost. And at thatbpoknt I genuinely believe the only cure is a bullet (magic not required, but you might need a few)

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Sure. But ideally you can marginalize the folks who are batshit

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

That mechanism could do more harm than good, and Nazis should not be left to fester.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

police and fellow neonazis

I feel like that's redundant.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

No. Getting caught by other nazis causes issues, and their murder clearance rates are notoriously bad, so...

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com -5 points 7 months ago

How dare you propose a non-violent solution? Don't you know nazis are the only violent ideologists that are incorrigible and need be killed? We should build camps for them or something...

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Definitely. The study wasnt entirely ethical, but the data from Dresden shows pretty clearly.
