Some folks seem to find it helpful if they want to justify punching someone for what they say.
Milo Yiannopoulus has not been punched by anyone, as far as I'm aware.
Granted, although he has been microaggressed against, and macroaggressed against in public by folks disrupting his presentation, commandeering his microphone, getting in his face, and ultimately shutting down his presentation. Remember, many of these same SJWs think it is an "aggression" to merely ask someone where they are from, or to suggest that they look exotic.
But, my point was that when a person says it's good to punch Nazis, they are assuming what is almost always a disputed issue - whether the person is/was a Nazi in the first place. I've seen fuckwits like that asshat Steve Shives on Youtube suggest that people who "carry water" for Nazis or white supremacists are just as bad, and deserve the same treatment. So, it's very convenient for such people to label someone a Nazi and then declare the greater good served by assault and battery of said alleged Nazi.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
