Earlier, imgur removed a post featuring a Nazi getting punched and so, the Front Page and a nice chunk of Usersub, is all Nazi-punching and fash-bashing.
Since we're leaving the definition of tolerance ambiguous this can justify the persecution of anyone.
Exactly.
Freedom of Speech is the idea that while everyone can talk, not everyone is worth listening to. The first person who should be ignored is the person calling for another to be silenced.
It's really very simple.
Replace "tolerance" with "respect."
If you don't respect the rights of other people to exist, we have no reason to respect your right to exist.
Back in the day, "outlaw" was someone who had forfeited the rights of a citizen, and could be hunted down like a dog.
What counts as disrespecting someone's right to exist?
Idolizing mass murder.
So the gals that send love letters to serial killers should get the rope?
Guess it really burns you that guys in jail are getting more play than you are, doesn't it?
Don't deflect. You said it's very simple than chose another uselessly vague term.
Don't deliberately ignore nuance to start internet arguments. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got permabanned from reddit for posting the question "what would Eisenhower do if he was present with a machine gun?" underneath a picture of a Nazi march in Wisconsin. Apparently, that is inciting violence in reddit view. Gotta keep those Nazis safe.
I got banned for replying to a sexist bigot who was saying gendered slurs and I quoted him and got banned also for using the quote feature to keep him from editing his comment. Mods banned me, didn't listen to appeals, then it became an admin issue and the admins chased me around banning my accounts for ban evasion and then eventually hit me with an IP ban and ignored all appeals, because "the original comments have been deleted." So if I want to talk shit to nazis there now I have to use a VPN.
A 12-year-old account perma'd because I called out someone for using the B-word in a relationship sub.
I am just so thrilled that our largest communication platform is being so diligently managed with such great common sense and healthy community standards. I bet the AI is going to make it even soooo much better.

Yeah, the right is the most delicate of snowflakes. They'll ban you for asking a question, they'll plug their ears and yell shit about emails if you say something that hits home and they don't have an answer.

The Americans certainly took their fucking time to get involved though.
You can always count on America to do the right thing... after they've tried everything else.
And the nazis were inspired by the manifest destiny and praised the Jim Crow system.
Don't touch my boats.
If you want them to get involved quickly you have to have socialist revolution.

Anti-fascism is so Orwellian that Orwell himself said that every fascist should be shot.

Remember, we didn't beat the fascists during WWII using arguments and polite discussion. We bashed the fash back then, we can and must bash the fash today.
Who won the war against nazis was the USSR
Good Lord, what a stupid take.
He just saw Enemy at the Gates for the first time. Have to give him a break.
They surely did their part, but it wasn't only them. USA also had a quite important role in it. Yeah, the USSR won Stalingrad and pushed the German force back, but after the USA landed in the Normandy Germany had to fight at 2 fronts, which reduced the amount of casualties on the allied sides. Would the USSR be able to win the war without the USA? Maybe, I seriously don't know, but saying that they were the one winning the war is kind of ignorant.
Would the USSR be able to win the war without the USA?
FWIW Kruschev said no fucking way, despite later claims of the Soviet leadership to have not needed US support. US-supplied weapons weren't very important, but US food and trucks and petroleum allowed Soviet industry to focus primarily on weapons production.

Ironically enough, we beat the fascists with a command economy aimed squarely at maximizing war materiel production. Free enterprise my ass ...
Yes, the great American Traidtion of gross indifference until the Japanese attacked Pearl harbor.
That's really not accurate. Prior to Pearl Harbor we were 1) helping extensively to re-arm Britain in their fight against Germany, 2) fighting an undeclared but active war against German U-boats in the Atlantic, and 3) placing an economic embargo on Japan in response to their ongoing invasion of China - the very act that precipitated the Pearl Harbor attack.

Let's be fair to the alt-right. Oppression, racism and all their other values are also American traditions. What a great melting pot!
Americans did not beat the Nazis. USSR did. And after that, the american regime took everyone they could from the tribunals to work for them. Lets not forget the good ol friendships at the time, like IG Farben and Allen Dulles. Lets not forget the first chief of staff of NATO. Lets not forget who put the american astronaut up there. And so on. American liberal democracy ate fascism. And we are what we eat
USSR also occupied Poland for ~44 years.

Stop ALL right.
So's shooting traitors and burning their fields!
Get Billy back out here so we can do it proper this time!
Since the captain america of the past was the result of a military program initiated by a government directive. Any such program today would likely result in a super nazi So, no thank you. Pity
I mean, right here, we are looking at a pic where Captain America could have killed Hitler but instead chose to give him what is, by his standards, a love tap.
Cap isn't even one thats opposed to killing.
Gotta keep in mind comics are funhouse mirrors for the society theyre created in. Pretty sure killing hitler wouldve been seen as the perfect end to a campaign, but then there would be less chance Cap would be needed again
