You continue to ignore historical precedence. Everyone want to think that they would have been Oskar Schindler, but the reality is that if you were a German in 1935, you would have supported the Nazis, just like the overwhelming majority of Germans.

The question isn't whether minstrel shows or homophobic attitudes are hate speech. The question is whether the people holding those opinions can speak them, or whether they should be censored and oppressed.

Silencing someone for holdong a politically incorrect opinion: hate speech.

I'm sorry I didn't realize I was talking to an idiot. That's my bad. That's on me.

"You, person who opposes Nazi ideology, would ackshually support it" Brilliant detective work there pal.

Edit: Also wanted to add but was busy. The Nazi party never achieved anything close to majority support. They peaked at 37% and were declining to 33% during the last free and fair election. No one likes Nazis. Not even Germans in the 30s and 40s.
