The thing is, if my favoured group specifically revolved around oppression of groups of people (ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, what have you), I would deserve it.
This isn't a tough definition. I'm fine with republicans hating "lefties", broncos hating raiders, xbox hating playstation. When hate is directed at non-chosen traits, that's the red line.
Am I crazy? I feel like I am with all this defense of literal nazis (flags, signs, salute, speech and all).
- Frondo 9y agoWhat gets me is that Nazi ideology is itself violent. This isn't a disagreement about taxes or social programs, it's an ideology that led to the Holocaust. Last weekend's terrorist attack on the anti-racist protest, leading to the murder of one anti-racist, tells us exactly where this is going again. That's what makes all the "well free speech" stuff seem so hollow and stupid to me--we know what's at the other end of the Nazi road, and it's nowhere we want to go.
- reitanqild 9y agoAgree. You could also argue this from the "shouting fire in a crowed room" argument - free speech doesn't protect that. Actually spreading nazi ideologogy is even more dangerous.
