fuck up Nazis, yes. make their bullshit unacceptable. make them afraid to show their damn faces or speak their hate.

BUT THIS MUST BE PAIRED WITH

positive action toward the oppressed groups Nazis target. they MUST be supported, protected, welcomed

be suspicious as fuck of anyone who is super excited about punching Nazis but "meh" on actually helping the people Nazis target

cos those folx aren't rejecting the marginalization, just the crass approach to it

@nerdybutcute how do I do that? Any general recommendations?

@tom4okstate well my rule of thumb is that the best aid is local, so looking for local orgs is good. but honestly, the most straightforward way is to boost marginalized voices when you can, learn as much as possible about their history and their oppression, and listen to recs from leaders in those communities - when they call out for aid, see what you can do in your situation to step up. eyes and ears and hearts open is always a good way to go. active allyship.
