    Both ISIS and the Nazis have committed a huge amount of violence, yet you defend them - why?

    You don’t see the issue with comparing two groups whose objective is genocide with two groups with fairly specific goals oriented around freedom, which have committed sporadic violence serving those ends?

    For what it’s worth, I place Hamas in the Nazi/ISIS bucket for consistent reasons.

      I don’t have to support a group’s actions to still believe they have the same human rights of freedom of speech and thought that others do. There’s a reason that human rights apply to everyone, even prisoners. Even monsters. Stripping away fundamental rights from the “right” people is not a moral stance.

      I defend their human rights for the same reason I defend yours.

        You drew the line at violence, but defend the Nazis and ISIS - What’s the bar for unacceptable violence? More than the 17 million people the Nazis killed, obviously, but where is that line?

          I don’t know what you want from me man. To say nazis are bad? No shit, that’s obvious.

          You ask where I draw the line. Between actions and ideas. I can’t make this any more clear.

          Nazi held a sign at a protest? Shitty, but not illegal.

          Nazi hurts someone? Illegal.
