when ppl act like the goal of anti-nazi ppl is to “”change their minds”” about their “”beliefs”” like… that’s… 

we don’t give a shit about their ~beliefs~??? I dont care if mr dick is sittin in his house thinking jews are awful. I would LIKE for him to not think that but I ultimately do not care. I do not care about changing his thoughts. 

i care about preventing him from having enough of a public platform that he and people like him gain the power to ACT ON those beliefs.

so yes actually! punching nazis when they are trying to be suave on television, such that they are unwilling to try to go and appear suave on television again, does accomplish that. 

i dont care what mr dick thinking in the privacy of the hole he crawled out of, at this point. we are at a point where there are way more pressing things regarding nazis. which is like. nazis get to be suave on television.

Sort of related, this reminds me of a mindset I do see in the real world, but especially online, that’s like “idc if they vote for my rights and keep their opinions to themselves, if they ‘don’t agree with my lifestyle’ then they’re still homophobic!”

And like, I don’t care?? if they don’t agree with my lifestyle? I don’t care about what someone thinks about my being bisexual or a transwoman or asian, I care about the real consequences someone’s actions have on me. Yes, thoughts lead to actions, but if the only tangible effect someone has had on me and other marginalized people is positive, then why should I concern myself with whether or not they’re calling me slurs in their head? Literally there are more important, more physical and immediate threats to my existence. I’d rather put my energy towards that than trying to change someone’s mind.
