When you defend a Nazi, you kind of are.

No. I regret making that post.
But when someone defends the free speech of a Nazi group above all else, it gets under my skin.

The fallout from this weekend doesn't come as a surprise to us, who've been warning you guys since Trump's election battle started. Trump's own promise was to build a wall to prevent people from Mexico to enter the country, which tickled the inner racist of many of Americans.
Almost all I do nowadays on here is posting about either how Idiocracy was a prophecy or telling you that Trumps ways is a bad path to follow, yet people want to get their neo nazi on. I don't know what I can say anymore...then people want to get mad when they're called on their bull#?? Like somebody said, these are your beliefs , own up to them!
Just saying... if it quacks like a duck and dances in the opening sequence of Ducktales, chances are..it's probably a Duck!

So if you're for free speech rights to everyone, you're a Nazi?

I apologize for the accusation. It's early. I'm angry. I don't think people who defend Nazis are necessarily Nazis themselves. My post comes across as me being stupid.
I am tired of people diminishing what happened on Saturday as just another day for free speech and pleading for Nazi tolerance. Not that you are doing that. But others on ATS are.

I'm curious.
Are you also defending the "free speech rights" of BLM and ANTIFA? After all, counter-protesting is still freedom of speech.
But I somehow think you probably have some convoluted irrational argument to say that what those groups do isn't them exercising freedom of speech.

It's time to recognize that the extremes on both ends of the spectrum don't really represent any of us. The extreme's are a tiny minority on this site, we are more alike than we are different, but I guess it's easier to just throw labels around without thinking because virtue signalling sure feels good doesn't it?
