    If you ignore the good, you ignore how fascism gains power. Hitler made Germany better for a majority the citizens than any other European country. The difference was also far greater than just stealing wealth from jews. Failing to confront and acknowledge this allows fascists to succeed. You don’t fight fascism by punching them, you fight them by making a country pleasant enough to live in that the masses don’t listen in the first place.

      Why not both?

      Punching Nazis is also pretty effective. The OG Nazis were beaten through superior force, not rhetoric.
