The ‘punch a Nazi’ meme emerged after an inauguration day assault on Richard Spencer, head of the National Policy Institute, a white nationalist think tank, went viral.
An 80s-style game, “Punch a Nazi” harnesses a desktop browser in combination with gamers’ mobile devices. After syncing their mobile devices with the desktop, gamers launch punches by moving their phones close to the screen, according to Engadget.
