The problem with calling everyone who disagrees with The Left "nazis" is that when, as is apparently the case here, actual nazis are identified it somewhat weakens the impact.

I've heard Adam Carolla opine on several occasions that there's no better time to be a racist than when everybody's racist.

He ain't wrong.

So it's okay to act like a Nazi (or support those actions) when going after a "presumed" Nazis?

This is great stuff.

Yes. See, when you're enemy is history's worst villain then everything is justified. This works both ways, btw.

The dude driving that car may have thought the people he was running over were violent Antifa idiots so therefore he was justified.

Nazis also ate bread and soup. Eating bread and soup doesn't make one Nazi-like. But this isn't inherently Nazi behavior, outing someone for their abhorrent beliefs and behavior.

Like I said, I'm not entirely comfortable, but then, isn't it better for them, and us, to know their views and actions, than not, as employers, neighbors, and associates?

I strenuously oppose punishing employers, or anyone for that matter, for things beyond their knowledge or control. Giving a company a bad review for that reason crosses that line, but then, it's a relatively innocuous way to immediately draw the employer's attention to it, which, as an employer, is something I'd like to know about.

It certainly is playing with fire, though, and fire has a way of spreading.

Sure. Which group of people (you don't like) will be next?

The rally was in a public place. He appeared in public, in support of a neo-Nazi organization. His Facebook profile is public, and includes racist imagery and sentiments. It also named his employer. All public information.

You're presumably upset that people are directing his public profile and behavior toward his employer?

Next for what, exactly?

I went to a candlelight vigil for the dead/injured people. Not normally my type of thing, but my wife wanted to go, so I went with her.

I was surprised. I thought it would be mostly BLM and antifa types. And there were some of those.

But I'd estimate that Jewish people were the largest single group. I'm basing that off a large number of Star of David symbols on candles, etc. Nothing promotes common cause more than effing Nazis.

Most people do not hold ideas where the total eradication of a sub set of humans is a desireable outcome

He is entitled to his views. His employer is entitled to think that if an employee is calling people "ni$$$s, spi$s or ki$es" on line that there may be a risk sending them to jobs or even simply coming to work

I'm simply pointing out that you are using (or supporting) Nazi tactics to go after private citizens you think are Nazi.

What is "Nazi" about directing people to public websites and profiles identifying someone who publically attended a rally?

Or Russians. Don't forget those effing Russians hacked our election.

You're simply pointing out something incorrectly and for no useful purpose.

All of it is public information made available by the Nazi sympathizer. Please show me how this is akin to Nazi behavior.

It does seem innocent to just be looking around to see where someone lives, works, and plays all because they were photographed at a rally. Yep.

See post # 154

I thought it was well established that Wendy couldn't pass the bar. :)

Whether it's a great use of one's time to do that looking around is one thing. You still haven't explained how it';s a Nazi thing to do.

This guy apparently was perfectly happy for the world to know about his beliefs. He posted them on a public FB profile where any and everyone can see it. He attended a widely publicized rally to yell and scream about his beliefs, which was certain to be photographed, video'd, covered by news, etc.

It's not Nazi to call attention to the beliefs of someone who publicly broadcasts their beliefs.

That's ridiculous. We punish motives all the time, for reasons that go beyond whether something was an accident or premeditated.

For example, how should the abused spouse who deliberately and with premeditation hires a hitman to kill her husband in order to stop the abuse be punished as opposed to the same actions but motivated entirely by greed?

This isn't the only example. The list could go on. People are punished differently every day, and a primary factor in determining the level of punishment is the motivation underlying the crime.

That escalated quickly.

I think you know very well that accommodating the concept of self defense is substantially different from the concept at play with hate crimes.

Hate crimes legislation, as far as I can tell, typically considers hate thought motivation as an aggravating circumstance. And as far as I can tell, it's pretty much the only aggravating or mitigating circumstance that relies entirely on an assessment of what the accused was thinking when he committed the crime. Typically, aggravating factors are things like taking a leadership role in the crime, being a repeat offender, or attacking a particularly vulnerable victim. Typically, mitigating factors are pretty much the opposite. Minor role in the crime, the victim had culpability as well, lack of prior record, etc.

It seems like only "hate crimes" factors are specifically about the emotional reason behind the crime.

I have but all you want is an argument. Not me.

No, you really haven't, but I don't give enough of a shit about what you think to try to harass you into making a cogent point.

In this thread?

There's nothing in post #154 explaining how "outing" (they're not hiding) Nazis on social media is anything akin to Naziism.

Not to mention, post 154 seems to have been written by Duffy.
