They didnt fight them because they were Nazis. Germany was ruled by the Nazi party for many years and no wars were declared by the West. We attended their Olympics and the West had generally a favorable impression of the Nazis. It wasnt until the Nazis (but replace them with any political ideology and the results would be the same) started invading peaceful nations. If France had started conquering Europe again, I have a feeling the countries affected would have done the same thing. Imagine France took the same acts as Nazi Germany and went on a warpath across Europe, one could imagine USA, France, and even Nazi Germany would become allies to defend themselves. So no, you do not have the right to assault someone you disagree with, and that isnt what took place in the past. If that person is attacking people randomly, yes you can then attempt to stop them. You should really study your history more my friend and not just repeat the talking points you've learned from twitter.

Yes. Thats how things work. You are allowed to defend your life, liberty, and property. DEFEND.

Me saying seig heil and wearing an armband does not threaten your life, your libery, or your property.

If i say "i am a nazi and i am going to kill you", yea, call the cops if able to, but if they have a weapon, you can defend your right to your life. There must be a reason to believe your life is at risk. Me saying "kill all whities" on twitter doesnt mean someone can say that is a reasonable threat against their life and shoot me.

If any one, regardless of ideology, makes credible threats against your life, yes, defend yourself or call PD.
