Vigilantes are welcome to fight Nazis. Full stop.
We want to fight Nazis, on that we agree. Then who are these people? We have a court system, an agreed upon authority to make such decisions.
Vigilante1 thinks Mister X is a Nazi, Vigilante2 does not think so. Who is right? Who decides here? I say a court does and this is why I think we can't just go around and murder people.
Don't live in a way that would make ANYONE think you're a Nazi, and then it's not a problem.
Sure, but as soon as just one person thinks someone else is a Nazi, should we kill them?
Again, I am not saying that it is cool to be a Nazi, I am saying that we can't just go around persecuting people willy nilly. That is why we have a justice system and a court. Other wise we might just as well do away with them and do as they did to witches in the middle ages.
I deem thee to be a witch, now thou shall burn at the stake.
With the way that term is being thrown around these days, that is a dangerous assumption.
If I call you a nazi because I don't like your comment, and then you call me nazi back, does that mean we should both die?
