“Weird. And here I thought that World War 2 was a solid argument against letting entitled white pricks do the Nazi thing unchecked. I’m pretty sure Poland would agree with me.”
Yeah, because it’s one step from Nazi pugs to Auschwitz. A free society allows the expression of unpleasant ideas. That’s what separates us from the fascists. The state can’t, and shouldn’t try to, adjudicate hate speech. If the government’s argument is predicated on avoiding offense towards any given minority group watch out because everything is now fair game. We exist in a marketplace of ideas, and freedom of conscience and thought is the bedrock upon which it is built, regardless of how unpleasant those ideas are.
