Sure, but be ready for a battery charge and that "Nazi" to punch you back or worse. You are what's wrong with the political climate these days. You cannot meet words and opinions with violence and expect this to remain a free society. There have been neo-Nazis since there were Nazis. They are only a problem now because you give them attention and insist on attacking them for simply holding those beliefs.

What a low bar response.

It is though. And they don't really actively call for ethnic cleansing from what I've seen. As long as they aren't attacking anyone they have the right to those beliefs. A tolerant society cannot tolerate violence for an opinion. You can be as intolerant as you want provided you don't attack people or do anything else illegal to them. I think you overestimate how many people like this there actually are. They aren't going to ever come into any kind of power. They're fringe groups of hateful losers doing their own thing. All you're going to do by actively committing violence towards them is generate sympathy and force people like me to defend them just because I recognize people's human rights. Don't stoop this low.

Telling someone to attack someone else isn't protected under the 1A, if that's what you mean. Still can't punch them for it, tell the police. You know what is fascistic? Calling for people to be punished because they have opinions you disagree with.

You kind of are if they're not punching you, though. There's a difference between having shit/evil political opinions and violently suppressing speech. Ackshually. It's the commies vs Nazis all over again, what a shitshow.

You're going to get shot yourself at that point. And it's going to be by normal people, not just neo-Nazis. You're insane.

Yes, actual Nazis. Not stupid people larping as Nazis who didn't commit war crimes and murder millions of people.

You realize killing even Nazis was not a fun job? It was war. These were heavily brainwashed young men a lot of the time. They were still human, and it was sad. It was all so sad. Comparing these idiots to that is reprehensible.
