So you're against freedom of speech?
Nazis are a blight on society, any time you give them a finger they take the whole arm, tattoo it full of swastikas and feed it to their ravenous dogs.
You don't need to be tolerant to the intolerant. They are the ones who broke the social contract by ascribing themselves to an ideology that is literally about genociding any group that doesn't conform to their view.
The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. No exceptions.
That last line got me banned from Reddit at one point LoL.
I got banned for saying 'punching nazis is a moral good', and so did everyone else in the building (IP ban).
That's a hilarious way to find out who in it was using Reddit.
I'm against nazis
Nazis arent people
Not for folks who openly advocate against it themselves.
The rights of a democracy ought not be permitted to protect acts fully intended at undermining the democratic rights of the people.
Encouraging an explicitly genocidal political movement is not protected free speech, similar to how a person can be charged with a crime for threatening someones life.
Nazis are literally trying to take the free speech away from others
nazis don't deserve any freedoms at all.
There is no middle ground between genocide and peace.
Who else do we know that wants to imprison people simply because of their beliefs?
Now, before you accuse me of “bootlicking,” or “sympathizing,” know that I find Nazis to be among the most abhorrent people that have ever existed- but I also also recognize that simply having a belief- regardless of how shitty it is- should never be a punishable offense.
Lest we become what we hate in others.
Sorry no, there is a clear line between 'people I don't like', with 'people who talk of genocide'.
Cool. You are exactly what you hate. And to me, just as bad as they are. You don’t get to play by THEIR rules just because you believe they are wrong…. .
You play by THE rules because you know you ARE right.
Keep defending nazis, I'm sure it will work out for you.
Point out the part where I did that.
*gestures at your entire comment chain*
Ahhh. Okay. You have no examples of anything I said, so you try and make a trollish gesture.
Fair enough. Thanks for playing. We’re done here.
What is your end goal here? To waste my time?
Pathetic.
To point out that believing that someone deserves to have no freedom because they believe differently than you makes you more like them then you think.
Do better.
rights are a fiction, and I have no tolerance for nazis
Rights are a fiction? I’ll bet the Nazis believe the same thing.
I bet they believe people need to breathe oxygen.
I'm still not going to tolerate them in my town.
