Thousands of purveyors of neo-Nazi tunes just had their day ruined by a crew of enterprising Scandinavian anti-fascists.

You literally said they should have no rights, I get that you hadn't thought about what you were saying but I really think it's important to think about the implications of things we say.

I'd link that clip everyone always uses about the law Vs satan but it's overused, surfice to sau dehumanising humans isn't a thing good people do - and yes I know it's popular to at the moment but when I was a kid everyone thought calling things gay as an insult was a great thing and we as a society grew from that so we can grow from this.

I obviously meant they shouldn't have any rights to practice their nazism or do harmful things to whomever they dislike so much, not that they shouldn't have any human rights.

I feel like this should've been fairly obvious given the context of the conversation. Human rights should always be the first concern no matter who it concerns. Do you think nazis feel the same way?

With all due respect, with just how many people are literally calling for violence in this thread, no, I didn't connect those dots either. If you're actually truthful about not meaning they shouldn't have human rights, I'd strongly consider editing your previous statement. If you leave it, you're feeding into the hate echo chamber that you actually seem pretty opposed to. Words have got to be specific, if you're going to speak in absolutes, or people WILL misunderstand or mischaracterize you.

They might, but from my point of view human rights are a given in every situation. I also feel strongly about every human being holding the same value regardless of their standing in society.

I thought we were discussing what could be done to curb nazism, and again, I didn't mention any sort of violence anywhere. I thought it was clear that I meant that Nazis shouldn't have rights to do harm to others, or do other hateful things. I was in no way advocating removing their human rights.

Understood. Context matters, for both of us.

I'm glad we agree, and to be fair you were completely right; my original post wasn't as clear as it could've been.
