Unfortunately reality doesn’t work this way. A popular lie beats an unpopular truth. That’s a large part of why we can’t make any meaningful progress on addressing climate change.
No, no they should not. Nazi speech should be criminalized. Just like yelling Fire! in a crowded theatre. Nazi speech is even more deadly and destructive.
Yeah, they say the same things about pro-trans speech.
The problem is, when you start policing speech, you open up the floodgates for people to pick and choose what is right or wrong to say. If it’s okay to ban ‘nazi speech,’ then what’s stopping the next congress from banning ‘trans speech’ or ‘communist speech’?
Nah. It’s up to us, as a society, to work together to keep these ideas at bay through discussion. If we try to ban people from sharing these ideas altogether, it will create a Streisand Effect and give them more power than they would otherwise have.
Remember, guys: defending free speech for Nazis is totally the best way to “preserve democracy”
I mean, they should get to say what they want to say.
It’s up to us to recognize it as bullshit and rise above it.

Germany seems to be doing ok with banning it. And the rest of us aren’t doing so hot with allowing it.
Criticize Israel for a week straight, here. When your ban is lifted, tell us how much you love absolute free speech.
