    The problem is that an upvote and a downvote completely lack context.

    Racism is bad: true

    Physical violence is worse than verbal violence IF all else is equal : true

    Therefore…

    Physical racism is worse than verbal racism.

    But physical violence is not necessarily worse than verbal racism. This is why context matters.

    And that’s why it’s ok to punch Nazis.
