      do you think WWII was won without violence mate? If nazis could be reasoned with there wouldn’t be a war in the first place. You can’t turn the other cheek to nazis, it’s just not an option, you either fight back or you die.

      Makes them violent extremists

      Only if you believe that any violence is extreme. I would disagree, punching fascists is fairly centrist and enjoys broad support.

      what I’ve seen, plenty of antifa folk will use violence and vandalism against people unrelated to the supposed target group.

      That is besides the point. You can be against facists and also against Nestle at the same time.

        “Centrist” only if you use the sense of a median popular political position, which isn’t really what it means. Self-described centrists are actually conservative and tend to be weirdly* okay with Nazis.

        *weird if you don’t understand the link between capital, the state, conservatism and fascism

      Centrists are currently overseeing a genocide right before our eyes and telling us that the fascists would be worse so we just have to suck it up and vote for them.

      Centrists are violent extremists
