Punching Nazis

While I understand the sentiment, I hope you're wrong. Once you make it possible to legally punch people for any reason, it's really easy to just include more groups into the punchable ones.

Haha you think we're actually going to be able to get rid of them?

I wish I had your optimism.

No, in 50 years time America will still be a fascist power, but militarily entrenched and with colonized land

We're already past the time to stop them and unlike shitler, there's no other world power that can even come close to matching us militarily.

So with no coallition allies strong to save the world from the latest eruption of fascism, where the fuck exactly do you think this is going long-term?
