> They can screech and holler all they want, and as long as they only do that, any civilized person will roll their eyes and

B.S.! You will get locked up for threatening violence against someone. It's not mere repugnance. I find all racial supremacists repugnant and will roll my eyes and move on like you said. Except when their belief involves genocide, they explicity wish death and violence to entire groups of people. You are saying let's wait until they start killing! How did that work out for Jews in Poland or hutu's in Rwanda. When they start killing it will be too late. If someone believes mass shooting is good and will further their agenda, they will also get locked up

> An appeal to might makes right?

No, I did not say that. But rights are not optional. I agree with and prefer reasoning. But if does not work,and the only option is violence or beg until they get annoyed and accept your rights, I will not beg. I will do everything including violence to secure my rights. I will beg for things I want and most things I need and will not resort to violence. But rights are for others to respect not for the holder of them to beg and plead for. By definition rights are not optional. Let me give you an example: I have the right to not get killed unless found guilty of a crime, therefore when someone attempts to kill me, I will respond in violence if there is no way to reason with them. Or if death is extreme, how about: I have the right to freely move unless suffering punishment for a crime. Therefore, if a person holds me captive I will take the least violent way to free myself including damaging their property, their body or at worst take their life.

Rights are not things we think we have to have. They are things we agree as a society that the holder of them can excercise them without interference. So when a a group of people are plotting to commit genocide, It is within the bounds of the excercising of a right to life for the targets and implementation if their fellow citizens' and government's responsibility to stop them. Starting with asking nicely, then detaining them as punishment for a reasonable amount of time and if that is not an adequate deterrent or the government is not willing to excercise their duty and citizens are not able to subdue and detain the genocide plotters, violence is the only remaining resort.

If there are peaceful means to end and remove Nazism and genocide proclaiming people from society, let us discuss them. Else, they can stop waving those flags and making threatening speeches or absent government intervention responsible citizens and potential targets of their violence must respond.

> People have the right to protest, and yes, any good protest draws out the kooks too. Just ignore it.

Yes, as i said repeatedly. I have no problem against protesters but against people who wave Nazi and confederate flags. The fact that they joined someone else protest is relevant only because we don't know how many of them there are that hold such views, is it two guys? Then arrest them. Is it a hundred? Then call in the armed forces before we have a mass casuality event or worse! Do you recall what Sydney rioters did or melbourne in good ol australia? How do we know they won't hunt and killl people after a while? That's why my anger is at the government not the Nazis (more like containing and eradicating a disease carrier than anger towards them).

> one day you might be on the receiving end of someone else feeling the same way about you that you do them

If I start waving Nazi flags or calling for genocide in public. Please let me meet my fate as well.

> Be the better person.

You as well. Your fellow citizens are in danger and there are groups organizing and uniting in rebellion to your elected government. Apathy eye-rolling is not the right answer. We have a responsibility to mitigate threats against the rights and well being of our fellow citizens and against our legitimate governments. We must learn from history. When someone says they want to harm others, believe them and respond or make sure your government responds. This isn't a racist uncle who doesn't like blacks, these are Nazis.
