Banning them from insulting other people’s dignity and threatening their safety is not diminishing of their dignity.
- eighthnate 9y agoSure it does. Depriving people of speech is diminishing their dignity. Even better, depriving people of reading books they want or even wearing clothing they want is diminishing their dignity. > Banning them from insulting other people’s dignity So you support banning anti-nazi speech right? All the speech attacking and insulting nazis should be banned right? Because it's wrong to insult people right?
- camillomiller 9y agoI believe in the German principle of a proactive defense of democracy. There's only one option to be used against neo-nazis, and it is to silence them. No, they won't grow bigger because of that. You would certainly think this is anti-democratic and paradoxical. Well, it's not, because I'm defending democracy from the people that would destroy it, so in the end, I don't fucking care: they deserve no right to spew the kind of hatred they spew. We have a duty to stop them, because they're dangerous to society. And fucking NO, you can't extend this line of reasoning to other forms of contrarian speech, so don't even start. It's true only for neo-nazis. That's it. tl;dr: I'm sick of neo-nazis.
