He said nothing about becoming a prisoner.He just said that Nazis should lose their jobs for openly expressing their views.Hateful views are bad for business. If your employer doesn't like how you represent yourself then that employer can fire you. That's not oppression. It's just that a right to free speech doesn't protect you from the logical consequences of your speech.

This is what happens in communists countries such as Cuba. Yes, you can speak freely, but you may wind up a political prisoner.
What you are really advocating is that people conform to your views or else. You throw buzz words like Nazi, KKK, etc to make your point. Very few people are Nazis or belong to the KKK. You might as well throw in the devil. Who can be for the devil?
How about arguing with real arguments like: why people want illegals deported, why people want to restrict immigration from stateless Muslim countries, why people want to build a wall, why people don't want statues torn down.
How would you feel if you were jailed, fired from your job and blacklisted because of your beliefs?
Typical communist.
Well, we, um....well wrote:It depends on what you mean. Sure in a free democratic society people can "freely" express their intolerant point of view. But, there are and should be consequences for that expression from society at large. I am not advocating the government hand out consequences for such behavior but if intolerant people lose their job / are alienated from society at large I think that's appropriate. Violence is not okay but civil resistance to such views including unpleasant consequences is the bedrock of a modern western society.
Intolerant people are not victims. They are not oppressed. They hold views that antithetical to modern western society. Examples of intolerant groups that should be called out and resisted includes the KKK, now-Nazis, white nationalists, AND all extreme religious groups (yes, I do mean Muslims in addition to Christian and Jewish extremists).
