    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.
