is it controversial/wrong that i love and fully support it when someone beats the shit out of neonazis/white supremacists/far right people?

On the face of it, I agree, seeing Nazis get punched is pretty hilarious. I don’t think it’s wrong to feel that way, but I think it’s important that everyone understands that punching Nazis isn’t the solution to the alt-right problem. Punching Nazis, while a fun side-show, only reaffirms the white nationalist victim complex, a victim complex that is fundamental to Nazi ideology. If you’re alright with that, then go ahead, but be aware that you may be doing more to damage your cause than to help it.

Addendum: It’s also important to note that the people punching Nazis usually aren’t very good judges of who is and isn’t a Nazi. Personally, I’d rather have 100 Nazis go free than have 1 innocent man get punched, but that’s just me.
