I don’t think you see the difference between defending one’s right to speak, and defending their actions. I never defended his actions, but his right to speak… that I would’ve defended regardless. After all, the conservatives lost power in the 1970’s, which is why I don’t care about politics anymore (Neigsendoig and I used to be heavy Jesuit sympathizing fascists).
Edit: To clarify this, as I’ve since learned the nuance that comes with it. As long as you don’t incite abstract/direct violence, and you say whatever the flip you’d like, that I defend. It’s only if you incite a crime with your speech that I can’t defend it.
you should never defending someone calling for murder and genocide, your just as bad as the nazis themselves.
