      Are you the kind of dopey free speech absolutist that believes we should also protect the right to shout fire in a crowded theater, harass people into suicide or make death threats? If not, why not?

        Nope, speech belongs in it’s proper forum. That said, I’m not really sure what to do in the case of social media. It’s privately owned by clearly being used as a tool of suppression.

          What’s the proper forum for “I intend to commit a series of genocides as soon as I can, and will use whatever force I can muster to threaten people I don’t like and suppress their speech by doing things like showing force at events featuring trans people.”?

            Well you Intervene with the force and stalking shit obviously. That’s not salutes. Also, nobody is forced to listen to them and follow them.

              I think you’ve lost sight of the point you’re trying to make… Feel free to take another run at it though.

              Personally, I think genocide is bad, Nazis are scum, and that the right to be tolerated is a social contract that Nazis disqualified themselves from with theory genocidal intentions. Silencing Nazis, and stopping them from consolidating power and acting out their genocidal intent protects free speech and innocent lives.
