I find that groups that promote hate toward others to be disgusting. But it unnerves me as well to go down the path of limiting anyone's right to free speech no matter the content because the problem then becomes how far do you take that and who becomes the judge as to what is acceptable and what is not.

My memories of WW2 are of a child. My knowledge is of an adult. The atrocities which had as a forerunner, a white nationalist movement with a leader who attacked everyone. It was a horror. So many died and suffered.
You folks on here seem to be very comfortable with defending on a false premise, Nazi signs, hate slogans, brown shirts, the President having young boys chant his name at a rally.
You know the background and you still....excuse me with the YOU...not personalizing it, but nobody on here criticizes this white nationalist movement, steeped in the Nazi movement. Same uniforms, same chants and same attacks on media.
"(CNN)Across the country, flyers are showing up on college campuses.
Some promote blatant neo-Nazi rhetoric, others are much more subtle.
"Protect your heritage." "Let's become great again." "Our future belongs to us." "White people, do something." "Serve your people."
They represent a less extreme white supremacist movement targeting the young and educated.
"They're racist, but they have fancy new packaging," said Brian Levin, director for the Center of Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino. "They learn to downplay the swastikas and get a thesaurus, so instead of white supremacy they use words like identitarian. It's just a repackaged version of white nationalism."

Look at this thread. Not a mention of the base force behind the rally. Not a mention of their beliefs.
BUT an immediate rejection of those opposed. This is EXACTLY like the 1930/40s
I do get in a tizzy seeing the brown shirts and nazi placards
