I just posted a video on a couple comms about the history of defeating nazis in London by a london history YouTube channel
I think one of the big things that it was clear really worked was disrupting any organizing. And that’s a thing that doesn’t necessarily require violence.
People did so by blocking roads, yelling so loud no one could speak, and well, throwing things and being violent consistently enough that the government would sometimes deny them being able to meet (I dont believe that would work in the us due to free speech) but that often came with risks, like the government sometimes instead dispatching police to protect the nazis
But many of the things she discussed as being historically effective aren’t entirely incompatible with compassion on an individual scale, while showing no quarter and giving no platform at a larger scale.
I still don’t know what the most effective means is, but it’s some stuff to think about :)
