True, but you should not assume that they will. As long as they are a nazi, they need to understand the societal shunning and physical danger cost that goes along with such a disgusting ideology.

Also, it's a meme not a nuanced political essay about dealing with nazism. Obviously JUST punching them isn't goint to work. Or at least not forever.

You can defeat particular group by force, but unless You deal with bigotry, nationalism and the material conditions that gave rise to it in the first place, the ideology will return in some form or the other

True, but you should not assume that they will.

And most importantly, you should never tailor your community around this assumption.

I grew up in the bible Belt and spent years watching my friends and family get deeper into the MAGA memes and conspiracies, so take it from someone who poured their heart and soul out trying to convince good people not to believe provably false nonsense when I say this.

Fuck em. They know it's all bullshit. They know they can't actually prove their bullshit. They don't care. Few might eventually come back, but it's not worth the emotional toll on you to try and convince them.
