Er, Nazis keep fighting with violence recently, so I’m not convinced that this is accurate at all.
> Nazis are only willing to fight without violence (generally) now because they currently aren’t able to use violence without retaliation.
So what? That doesn't affect my argument in the slightest (as I've already pointed out[1]). I won't be taking up your offer of taking the strongest interpretation of my argument, thanks, because you're either creating a straw man (how ironic) or you've misunderstood the argument presented.
Further, I would suggest that if someone were really steel manning an argument they wouldn't be telling others about it, they'd have continued to respond to the challenges put to them. I don't see such a continuance. What could you be waiting for?
Where? And if so, what relevance does that have to those that refrain from violence? If the United States government sanctions an attack by its forces does that make all United States citizens liable for retaliation? If some Muslims commit an act of terror does this mean that all Muslims must be held accountable for those acts?
Or do we, quite rightly, separate out those who commit violent acts from those who don't?

You might provide an example.
