    It’s about time we stopped protecting Nazi politics under the rubric of ‘free speech’.

    The countries that don’t do that still have freedom of expression (and they tend to have human rights protections even more expansive than ours), it’s just that it makes no logical sense to hide nazis (whose politics amount to advocating against human rights for particular people) under the skirts of human rights protections.

      The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually ceased or destroyed by the intolerant.

      They want to silence and kill the majority of the population - stopping them from being able to do that by whatever means necessary is the pro-free speech move.

      …also, stomping Nazis is fun - I recommend trying it.
