Rysiekúr Memesson (rysiek@mastodon.social)'s status on Friday, 18-Aug-2017 19:00:46 UTC Rysiekúr Memesson @grmpyoldman this is a much better write-up on this: https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/8/16/16153248/free-speech-nazi-first-amendment-democracy-hate-speech (linked it before already, but hey, it's that good).
Basic argument (apart from "it's either freedom of speech for all, or none at all") is that thanks to Charlotteville rally people can see US Nazis for what they are.
Wiping them under the rug is counter-productive.
