I see what you’re saying. Using the rhetoric of “There’s no such thing as murdering a […]” is the same shit the Nazi said about Jews. I would rather take a nonviolent approach to this kind of thing, but as another person commented the paradox of tolerance can become a problem. I don’t want to deal with Nazis. I don’t want them in my community. They know they aren’t welcome, so they hide, and only show their faces when they have strength to intimidate. But they’re still here and they still teach hate wherever they go.
One of the things they did to indoctrinate people into Nazi ideology was to brainwash them as children. The Hitler Youth was a big driving part of his power. I think the first step to combat Nazi hate is to teach empathy first. There’s a reason a lot of tattoo artists will do free cover-ups of hate symbols. People change; I want to believe people are inherently good. But until a Nazi sees how evil their beliefs are, they won’t listen to reason and need to be treated as such: an evil bastard.
