    The Nazi SA were also fishing for a reaction from Jews, leftists, social democrats etc. – they assaulted and murdered them, and then when someone fought back they’d use it as an excuse to say “oh look how violent these Jews (or whatever) are”.

    Does that mean nobody should have violently opposed Nazis? Or will these “people” find an excuse anyhow, regardless of if you give them a reaction or not?

      It is not a black and white, all or nothing issue. You can fight the actual fascist agents while just ignoring the random attention seeking teenagers.
