ToastedPlanet,

I think hate speech, threatening violence against another person based on inherent characteristics or for any reason really, should not be allowed. Nor should people be allowed to storm the capital to stop the peaceful transfer of power. Other than that though I think people deserve free speech and freedom of assembly even if I disagree with the speech or reason for assembly. Nazis tend to say a lot of hate speech and storm the capital so it isn’t really necessary or good to make an exception for them specifically.

I’m not interested in proactively suppressing Nazis, as that would make us no different than them. To put it another way, I’m not interested in rounding people up solely based on their political views. I am for punishing Nazi’s for their hate speech and insurrection. I think there should be consequences for actions and hate speech. I am also for educating people and getting Fox News off the air.

The authority vested in democratic leaders is ephemeral enough that it is the only desirable form of authority. At the end of the day, it’s the people who rule, not their leaders. By comparison the authority that dictators wield is very enduring and hard to get rid of. They make every decision and the dictators’ egos are what everyone around them has to be loyal to.
