I really appreciated this piece, Seth. Your approach is a reminder to me that true courage doesn't always wear boxing gloves. Sometimes it shows up as a refusal to become what we hate.

While I understand where the anger comes from—history is heavy, and injustice leaves deep scars—I think it's important to pause before we endorse violence as a solution, even against those who stand for hateful ideologies. When we normalize striking others, we risk blurring the lines between justice and vengeance.

Thank you for urging us to hold the moral high ground—not out of weakness, but out of strength and clarity. That doesn't mean silence or inaction. It means speaking, voting, organizing, and resisting with resolve and integrity.

We can be fierce without being cruel.

I am not a violent person. Ich sagt immer, “Always Punch Nazis”. My family was displaced by Nazis. Always Punch Nazis means confront them loudly. APN means do not yield to Naziism. APN means Standing In Opposition to White Supremacy. Those who violate Body Autonomy are no better than Nazis. Good Trouble instructs us to Stand Up and Speak Out. Isa instructs us to Love Our Neighbor. I Always Punch Nazis. 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💜
