If a nazi walks into a bar and everyone else leaves, it becomes a nazi bar. (sh.itjust.works)

I never liked the analogy.

If violence shows up, your options are to resist it or leave. If you stand your ground and fight to the death, you can never go back. You can however build another bar elsewhere. Your showerthought demonstrates a vital decision that faces humans every day that ultimately helps our species evolve away from savagery... if we choose correctly but counterintuitively.

    Showing up to a bar takes way less time and effort than building a new bar, this difference in effort is key to why this approach is wrong.

    A community has to have an answer which is just as fast as showing up to the bar, like kicking someone out of said bar.

    Otherwise, you're stuck building bars for nazis as you'll be constantly leaving your bar to build new ones.
