A lil context for why I get so worked up about it more than most. My grandma lived in East Poland(current day Belarus) and when Nazis came, my grandma’s family fled east while her father fought. Long story short, the kids(grandma and siblings) were the ones that survived and were split up across the globe. That’s the Super streamlined version. So when Bill Maher says “oh I didn’t like Nazis either but you can’t punch someone who’s not doing anything” I want to punch HIM too. The implicit support is a lesson to learn from. Also why didn’t the US kill the last Nazi collaborator living in Queens,NY instead of deportation? Watch the part where Chuck Schumer explains the deportation if you wanna cringe. https://youtu.be/nW8sC9JA2Is https://youtu.be/KzW8NYeQbo4 These are the 2 vids that inspired this. I think the main reason people should workout is so that when they punch a Nazi, they don’t get back up.TL;DR: My grandma was affected by Nazis, now libs are “tolerant” of them.

    Plus you don’t see them defending socialists with the same fervor, or anybody else not in a protected class for that matter. How many libs were advocating for violence against Russians, how many will for Chinese? But I guess apparently nazis are among the protected class for lib civility, curious

      Pretty disturbing, the same liberals who are regularly clamouring for extermination/enslavement of Russians/Chinese (under the usual bullshit terminology of “freedom and democracy”) likely also advocate for engaging nazis “in the marketplace of ideas”…
