Your point doesn't come with an eloquent webcomic and I think having fantasies about punching Nazis is cool
I, too, think punching Nazis is cool.
When Nazis are gone, is there something you would punch next?
More Nazis, probably. You can never punch Nazis too many times.
Actually, I think it's that a lot of people are aware of the Paradox of Tolerance as a fairly well-discuss philosophical point, and overhumanizing a group defined by its desire to extinguish an ethnicity is not the most constructive rebuttal to it.
It's not even Godwinizing. Karl Popper coined the Paradox of Tolerance in full knowledge of Nazi atrocities.
I didn't downvote him, but I'm thinking that's why many people did.
