    Can’t prosecute people for what they think or want, only what they do. And again, you wouldn’t want that to be the case.

      You’re getting downvoted, but people just need to imagine that the people in power use that same law to arrest pro-palestinian protesters. You don’t want the government to have the legal authority to arrest you for your opinions.

      That said, it doesn’t mean you as a person have to tolerate Nazis. You don’t

        I usually hate being downvoted; it makes me feel dumb. But this is one of those opinions I’m very confident in, so I’ll live with downvotes.

      So the genocides need to happen again before we can do anything about them?

      This isn’t thought crime - it’s a group motivated by hate, that has a history of genocide, and previously had to be stopped by the military might of the bulk of the western world. They’re working to recruit and to intimidate, there’s zero value to their existence, and very good reason to stop them.

      What have I missed?
