Being a Nazi is a priori violent. They have declared an intent to commit genocide by subscribing to that ideology. They ought to be excluded from society at every turn, because their goal is the destruction of our society and the mass murder of our peers.
- fvdessen 10y agoHow the hell is breitbart even remotely comparable to nazis ?
- diyorgasms 10y ago"White nationalism" is rebranded Nazi ideology. And brietbart is assuredly white nationalist. I figure they had to change the name so recruits wouldn't be afraid of being hanged at The Hague. Edit: Here's a piece highlighting some examples - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/15/can-you-name-one-white-nationalist-article-at-breitbart-challenge-accepted/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/15/ca...
- tomp 10y agoThe problem with this argument is that everybody can be called a Nazi. The only people who're using the word "Nazi" to describe "Breitbart" seriously are those who completely disrespect the millions of actual victims of the Nazi regime.
- diyorgasms 10y agoOK, so I would and have made the argument that brietbart is Nazism rebranded, since identifying as a Nazi is unacceptable these days (but decreasingly so it would seem). However, there are far more clear examples of Nazis, like Richard Spencer, who writes pieces on the best way to genocide the black race and things like that. You do a disservice to the people they are harming by refusing to acknowledge that actual Nazis exist, are recently emboldened, and are gaining state power in some cases.
- tomp 10y agoSo what do you propose that we do? Kill him? Crazy people can be as crazy as they want, as long as they don't harm others. But restricting the freedom of speech is a slipery slope that I want to avoid for all costs, lest people that are not Nazis start being called Nazis and are silenced. This [1] is an article about what real Nazis are like Ipossibly simlar to Spencer, but definitely not similar to Trump).
