this really goes back to how much credence you give to karl popper’s paradox of tolerance. under the present circumstances in the context of the not-so-distant past this quote gives me a great deal of pause and worry about my own belief in non-violent methods of resistance–
“We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.”
i would regard self-proclaimed nazis as being part of a general incitement to intolerance and persecution.
