Sure, Nazism is a horrible, evil thing, but should we restrict someone’s
right to act like a jerk if they want to?
|
If in the course of being a jerk, you earmark a minority group of humans for
death, we should restrict it. Should we have allowed slavery to continue?
Slaveowners were just being jerks, right?
|
You’re confusing speech with action. Wearing a swastika= speech. Murdering
millions = action. Advocating slavery = speech, enslaving people = action. HUGE
difference.

You’re equating the use of a swastika to killing
millions, and it’s an entirely different issue. A symbol is not murder.
|
You keep comparing communism to nazism, and you compared naziism to Muslim
culture earlier in this post. But I’m guilty of confusing a swastika with
nazism? Wow, I should lie down to clear my head.
|
Again, a symbol is speech, not an action. And I’m using a few extreme clerics as
examples here, not all muslims. But do you see my point? The problem is that
unless you allow most speech behavior WHERE NO ONE IS ACTUALLY HURT you start
playing a dangerous game.
