You, specifically, or someone else?
I have only punched a nazi once, but i wouldnt avoid doing so again, if the opportunity presented itself. Im afraid that will come to pass sooner rather than later sadly, considering the rise of fascism everywhere :(
Do you think these confirmed nazis that were punched reevaluate their ideological belief set, or it further reinforces their beliefs?
To the bystander ("normie") and especially vulnerable outcast who witnesses it, what is your hope they'd take away from that? For at least here in America many on the left hold a high standard for free speech and a strong separation of words versus physical violence. My concern would then be that we're perceived as hypocrites if we can't reason them out of this belief set but are ourselves forced to proactive violence.
To me I view nazi beliefs as a mental illness no differently than drug addiction. And also a product of parental neglect, abuse, trauma, and poor education. Beating sense into them to me sounds ironically like a conservative methodology, as dangerous and violent as their beliefs are.
You don't need to defend Nazis dude
Did I ever?
If that's what you took away from that, then I encourage one take a reading comprehension course.
