I don't disagree with anything that dude says but fascism has to be met with a shitload of resistance and it can't be debated with or allowed to have any platform to speak on. I'd say it's about time to have actual proper hate speech laws but not with this loving administration at the helm

And therein lies the rub.
How would you write such a law?

Canada has hate speech laws

Stop trying so hard to be devils advocate
Maybe Bolow doesn't want to move to Canada?

Speech promoting hate or encouraging genocide against minorities, religion, or sexual orientation seems like a pretty solid place to start.

But again this is like some pie in the sky poo poo for like 2024 and beyond provided we all don't die in a nuclear holocaust

What words would promote hate? Would intent matter?
Are 'minorities' racial or demographic minorities?

brb gonna go back in time to 1941-1945 and tell my grandma's brothers not to murder nazis because we have to respect their feelings

(They were in the Dutch Resistance. They were good at killing Nazis. Their dad got thrown in a concentration camp because he was a judge, which is why they joined up.)

Punch all Nazis, bash the fash.
Good on them. It sounds like the Nazis were doing more than talking on the internet and that the Dutch were suffering more than hurt feelings.

It's not arguing in bad faith, it's pointing out what should be an absurdity.

How's this - the thread consensus is that punching who speak of disenfranchising others is acceptable at worst, good and necessary at best.
Does macing people who wear the apparel of an opposing political faction fall under the same exception?
Where is the line?
