When you use escalatory language you just just make the Nazis justify their actions by the response they receive.
In another tense moment in American history, the Civil rights movement of the 1960s, MLK was successful due to not being militant. Peaceful action and the strong overreaction of those against civil rights elicited sympathy in those not involved.
Martin Luther King was successful in large part because of the acts of people like Malcolm X. Talk softly but point at the person with a big stick
When we are dealing with good faith actors Speak
When we are dealing with violent insurrectionists who have never won a popular vote and are actively talking about how they will remove the ability to ever speak again?
Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. While having other successes, he was unable to carry out the Poor People’s Campaign. Was violence successful in removing the voice of Martin Luther King Jr.?

Shit is already fucked. Either bury your head in the sand and hope the Nazis will respect your integrity or act
I will act through engagement.
