I hate that groups like the ACLU have to defend nazi scum to protect my liberties. Better that the government not violate our rights in the first place, but in lieu of that, even nazi scum is subject to the same rights and due process as any other citizen. However, I wouldn’t mind if they got pantsed a couple of times by their lawyers.

    No. Nazis should not have protected liberties because they reject the social contract, therefore they should not be protected by it.

      They should have protection of the law. That doesnt mean they dont deserve to be car bombed by the local socialist Redneck for shits and giggles. This is to ensure sympathic fuckwads dont cry foul or turn it on far less egregious groups.

      So we can class them as a specific subgroup that we’re allowed to mistreat and don’t have the same rights as everyone else? We could make them wear little badges.

        Yeah, it’s called “felons”, “inmates”, “incarcerated individuals”. All those J6 guys who are locked up got little numbers on their shirts.

          If they commit a crime then we can lock them up. If they don’t then they have the same rights as you and me. And that is a GOOD THING.

      Having a belief is not voiding the social contract. Acting on that belief, is.

      Christians can believe that a new Crsuade against satanists and Muslims and that they should all be killed post haste. But as long as they arent doing anything illegal, the social contract remains intact.

        Nazis act on their beliefs by being nazis. Their existence as a continuance of a hate filled group that instigated the holocaust is an act of violence against society.
