A counter example is Richard Spencer, the Nazi, getting punched in public twice and then saying in an interview that he's afraid to go out in public. He faded from the limelight soon thereafter.
Hell ya, five finger death debate these nerds
Okay, that is pretty effective, but you would also swoop down to the same low as them. The police are known for unreasonable and excessive brutality, doing that would make you at the same level they are.
EDIT: You have convinced me and bought to my attention points that I didn't consider because I might have been too idealistic. Thank you for correcting me.
It's not unreasonable or excessive to respond violently to oppression.
Oh yeah, you're right, I agree. My bad, didn't really think of that for a sec.
Like that time the police punched George Floyd.
If the worst thing Nazis did was go around sporadically punching people, they would not be the universal byword for evil.
Going around trying to exterminate people makes you as low as the Nazis. Going around punching Nazis makes you a damn sight better.
