I thought we all still supported Nazi's right to parade. Did I miss something?

It's getting more difficult to make sense of distinctions that were once so much more informative, and yet there's no common enemy of humanity, so being part of the humanity tribe brings little comfort. IMO it's stressing people out.

Definitely not supporting Nazis right to parade, I'm not sure if you are even allowed to say the word nazi out loud without a trigger warning in fear of making someone fell unsafe.

I'm certainly NOT selling a Mexican mocha, mulling weather I should call it a spicy mocha or if I can get edgy and call it a south western mocha. I'm right near a college, shit could get ugly fast.

Fuck it Ill say it I'm never running for office anyway. I support the right for Nazis, Clan members, and Trump Supporters to parade the same way I support the right for Gays, Transgenders, and Furies to do the same. Because once you start dictating what is and isn't OK for speech end up suppressing good ideas just as much as you do the bad ones. Its important to remeber that only 70 years ago the roles were reversed and Nazis and Clan members were good and Gays were bad.

Well, I support Nazi's right to parade. To do otherwise would be to emulate Nazis and their ilk.

It's a pretty basic concept. I have no problem asserting it.

Agreed. Supporting the right of total jack offs(Nazis) to have some sort of orderly public assembly is unfortunately part of the deal we must make with the first amendment. Otherwise, we're part of the problem.

Oh man this reminds me of this taco place that opened up at my school right before I graduated. It was an authentic taco joint that named itself criminals and tacos. It caught the greatest ass-whooping I'd seen at my time in college. People were up in arms over the connection to Mexicans and criminality. This was even during the time of Trump's rise to popularity too. I was surprised to hear they survived through that shit storm.

Cant buy that kind of publicity. I remember when Chik-A-Filet opened up in Seattle the gay groups gave it so much publicity that everyone one in Seattle knew there was one opening up.
