    I’m not torn. In much of Europe, especially Germany, Austria, and Poland, displaying Nazi symbols is illegal. These Nazi edgelords know they are flaunting walking on the edge of those laws. If we don’t fight back, the far right will push us further right. AfD, MAGA, the French National Party are all doing this and succeeding.

    Fuck Nazis and their sympathizers, publicly call them out, shame and admonish them.

      If they achieve their goals skirting the law, you don’t get to prosecute them. Make them cross the line. Then they go to jail.

        Nah, that’s the paradox of tolerance.

        Remember: it’s always a good day to punch a Nazi.

          I think it was Gandhi who said “the best time to punch a nazi is 90 years ago. The second best time is today.”

            No, it’s refusing to extend tolerance to people who subscribe to a fundamentally and irredeemably intolerant ideology.
