But the consequences are the same. The grave was already deep enough to bury them in. Letting them convince a bunch of impressionable rubes that the soil is soft and the solution to everything is buried in it is the mistake, not shoving in the dirt when they’ve dug deep enough.
The consequences are not necessarily the same. You add deniability cutting them short. You limit any long term plans, discussion of numbers or organization, their method of recruitment at the end, etc. All of which could be useful in social consequences and more importantly law enforcement tracking, which they thankfully do when it comes to white nationalists.
Making a Nazi’s position as public as possible makes it harder for that nazi to move, and measures how much resource should be committed to tracking them. It’s the difference between “I hate x” and “I hate x, if you’re interested we meet at 6 at the church rec center on tuesday!”
Now you have a phone call to make, with video, that a white nationalist group is meeting at the church at 6 on tuesday. To the FBI tip line, and to local news which raises the local consciousness as a problem.
Nobody is doing all that work though, dude. There’s no catalogue posted publicly itemizing their crimes for all to see. Law enforcement tracks these people well enough already. They had people in leadership positions of the proud boys informing the FBI, for fucks sake, and still did nothing to stop their participation in Jan 6th. At least half the people in law enforcement probably agree with this shit.
Again I want to stress that a single Nazi is not a problem. You’re overly focused on fighting some kind of hypothetical individual and not a widespread and growing political movement.
I cant stop all Nazis everywhere, I can only seek to attempt to inflict maximum penalty upon those I do encounter.
That is all I can do as an individual. And in that regard, it is within my power to inflict more penalty upon them than “hey shut up.”
