This is precisely the rhetoric Russia is using to justify the invasion of Ukraine.
Convincing someone that initiating violence is justified is the blunt of the work. Once you’ve done that, convincing them about the target is relatively easy. It’s much harder to convince a person to kill than to convince him whom to kill.
If Russian society wasn’t so open to initiating violence against Nazis, brainwashing them with propaganda that there are Nazis in Ukraine would not have been effective at all.
Consider this next time you advocate for “good violence”.
Jfc, the mental gymnastics on that one deserves a gold medal, I'll give you that much.
But seriously, gtfoh comparing (and essentially blaming us for) a nazi authoritarian manipulating his population to keep them seeing him for what he is, to those of us legitimately fighting against him and those like him.

Being a nazi is an active attempt to organize genocide.
Responding to this violent threat to society with violence is morally justifiable self-defense, advisable, and really really funny.
Contrarily carrying water for nazis—as you are doing—is the opposite of good, and only provides cover for people who are trying to kill some very dear friends of mine.
In society at large, sure, but as long as there are marginalised people they, we, should be allowed spaces just for ourselves away from those who oppress us (even if not directly/intentionally, being part of an oppressive group means benefiting from it).
