But there is nothing ambiguous about the intent of these people, and it means only one thing to anybody with sense.
If you wear Nazi insignia, or shout Nazi slogans, or do, wear, or say anything that identifies you as being admiring of or aspiring to the Nazi cause, you are proclaiming yourself to advocate an ideology whose single most defining characteristic is the promotion and enactment of genocide.
The threat is inherent in the symbolism. It doesn’t stand for anything that is not an open threat of genocidal violence.
You do not debate with Nazis. You do not engage in civil discourse with Nazis. You do not agree to disagree with Nazis. Nazis do not need a hug. They deserve neither respect nor sympathy nor tolerance. You stand up and shout them down and oppose them, over and over and over, as often as necessary.
And if the only way to prevent their vile and repugnant ideology from gaining further support is to mock and shame and intimidate and, yes, punch them in the face, then you’re goddamn right that’s what you do. It is morally rephrensible to do otherwise. We know this. We know, because 80 years ago we tired ignoring them and we tried appeasement and we allowed them murder millions for our folly.
That will not happen again.
You are concern driving trollies for evil. It is tedious.
