    Idk about y’all, but I like it when the fascists are stupid enough to out themselves to the world.

    My thoughts exactly - I want my enemies to have a uniform to be pointed, named and shamed at.

    remember in world war 2 when the Allies defeated the nazis by naming and shaming them?

    You do realize that free expression requires that you permit things as reprehensible as racism, transphobia, homophobia right? You’re literally doing the “Well I dislike it, so I’m revoking their rights” thing. I frankly don’t give a shit what they “call for” unless they’re trying to incite imminent unlawful acts. The crutch for the weak-minded and stupid is asserting yourself as the only moral and political authority and pretending that this will not immediately blow back up in your face. If being an actual liberal with principles is right-wing, then I guess I’m right-wing. It’s better than being a spineless succ with no principles and who thinks liberty is removing the liberty of others.

    they just SAY it!

      Neoliberals know they’re next on the Nazi spectrum so it does make sense they’d be concerned once Nazis are targeted.

      I mean, statistically the closest thing you can get to sending people to labor camps based on race is doing it by the socioeconomic status you were born into, and that’s their idea of utopia.

    Imagine being able to identify a problem but being too much of a vile neoliberal to tell nazis they can’t be genocidal bigots.

    Peak reddit-logo I want to wax poetic around complicated issues to appear smart (APPEAR being the key word here) but appease the status quo so that I can continue to benefit and feel special in my nazi-adjacent echo chamber of sanitised sadistic anti-non white cis het views.

    Jumped up sycophant acting like he’s gods gift to interlect because he considers the views of two neoliberal countries, one which is an apartheid state.

    “Oh well suck my dick because Germany (who were and still kinda are nazi) and Israel (who sent people to negotiate with the nazis to extract non left/zionist Jews to Israel before the shoah kicked off https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement in full dooming non-zionist jews to death knowingly) have anti-nazi views to specifically erase their relationship with fascism despite still utilising and protecting it to further their goals and I as an enlightened piece of shit redditor and sweaty neolib consider myself intelligent enough to entertain values and positions approved for me by my contemporaries smug smug. I love the smell of my own fats and benefitting from white supremacy as a neolib”.

    Sorry that comment has pissed me off more than it should. Its the chauvinistic perception of themselves as a “decent human being”.

        “It’s fun to debate other people’s right to exist while I (as someone who is at the top of the societal pecking order) who never has to worry about my rights taken away by reactionaries. I’m such a white savior for suggesting people consider these issues before we all ignore them and prop up the status quo to benefit ourselves.”

        Edit: why am I even getting annoyed, he’s probably 15 and plays Hearts of Iron religiously.

    i actually don’t support these laws because they historically always just get used against the left and never against the right. fascism isn’t defeated by the government banning it, it’s defeated on the street. Also from a long time back, one of the proposed amendments to this bill was the following text (i dont know if it was in the final bill)

    all other extremist groups which seek to promote fascism, communism, anarchism, bigotry and violence in our community

    we also know that in places like germany where nazi symbols are banned they just invent new more obscure ones anyway
