From where I sit... wrote:
... hate speech against Nazis is an oxymoron. There is no legitimate defence for Nazism. The movement was expressly about hatred of non-Aryan, or “unusual” sorts, and comprised a program to exterminate millions of humans. Nazis get no sympathy from thinking humans when they are victimized by “hate speech,” because the term has no logical application for Nazis.
DG will say this is a slippery slope, where do you draw the line? It’s not slippery at all... the line is clear and sharp and divides Nazis from all the rest of imperfect humanity.
Unlike Gary, I don’t sympathize with the sub-human Nazi types. On this front, I am in agreement with German laws forbidding most Nazi propaganda as it clearly promotes hate. So I am for more limited free speech. The slippery slope argument is an old tool used on and by knuckleheads who can’t think through complexity, they just see black and white all around them. We have constraints on most freedoms, no matter how basic, and for good reasons.
All that aside, Gary wants us all to like and respect white supremacists. He’s never going to get that because most of us think they are sub-human scum. That of course does not mean I will default to physical assault. That’s where it “does not compute” for Gary.
