Don’t ever feel bad for a Nazi. It’s ok. You’re a human and want to think that there is some good or humanity in everyone. It’s natural. This is the exact thing that he and Nazis lack though. Don’t feel bad.
No. Do feel bad for them, but do not let that affect your actions against them; let it pass over like a wave. Keeping our humanity intact is important, even if it hurts.
Getting angry is only one possible response, people are different, and there is nothing wrong with it. But I agree, we should still punch nazis. But also, it does not have to feel good. No one should force themselves, to become something, they are not.
When met with the crimes of empire, Gaza, Iran, Cuba, and countless more. When met with the crimes of power and wealth, Epstein, Musk, Trump, and countless more. Those that abhorre these acts and those that enact them must make sure that their hate is pure. It is a flaw of the compassionate to extend that same compassion to those that are responsible for the crimes they claim to detest.
It’s entirely reasonable to criticize “how people feel”. Because their feelings do not remain only their heads. They interact with the world through those feelings. And if their hatred and anger is not pure, if it has doubt, they will advocate to prevent justice.
People can “feel” how ever they want. But when those feelings bring them to telling others to “not punch a Nazi” (symbolically here), in that moment, they are just defending a Nazi from the consequences of their actions and denying justice to victims.

I agree with this fully, though. But nobody here has said not to punch nazis, just told they feel bad about it (figuratively).
My pont is: if you are a soldier on a war front, you do not have to hate the enemy, or their leader, or anyone, to shoot them. You just have to know they will kill you, your family, and destroy your culture, if you do not. Telling people they should feel only pure hatred towards monstrous people seems reasonable, since you are correct they do not share the compassion nor deserve it - but it is not a requirement for fighting against evil. If you cannot hold a steady hand, even knowing faltering will kill your loved ones, kids in gaza, countless other victims or cause some other horrendous thing, you have to find the resolve in you, to do it anyway. But that resolve does not require hatred, it can be even just the love for someone else. If you punch a nazi, the emotion driving your resolve does not matter. What matters is doing it, even if you feel that empathy, because you believe what you are defending, is worth it.
Sometimes I feel kinda sorry for him for how alone he is, I can’t imagine it, although it’s pretty much his own fault for being so terrible.

Getting angry when you should get angry is healthy. Punch a Nazi. It keeps your humanity intact.

For real I may be too sensitive but this post had me feel genuine pity
If only Elon had a smidgeon of the empathy that you have, he would be a much better person.
As long as you don’t get in the way of any mercy killings, I think you’re fine.
