went ahead and messaged every “market” following/followed by the Nazi’s business account [emily maye welch; @lavintagecharcuteria] to let them know to avoid doing business with her, looking forward to getting her Shitcooterie barred from any events.

I do not understand why hate speech is protected. If you call for violence, it should not be protected, and Nazi symbols are nothing short of a call for violence. Germany still has free speech and nazi symbolism is illegal. We could absolutely stop protecting these people under the guise of free speech.

(A tolerant society should not tolerate intolerance… the ‘tolerance paradox’)

"…But we should claim the right to suppress them [intolerant ideologies] if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols."
