1. I’m not a fascist, so I don’t want to defend it. 2. My original question to @OortCloudAtlas was “Why are Western Buddhists SJWs?"
Are you familiar with the concept of "incitement"? Not ALL speech can be unrestricted. Calling for genocide is unacceptable, obviously.

Granted. The only mention of “genocide” by the dissident right refers to their own. It has some validity.
-
No. They are often casually making comments about ovens & gas chambers for their enemies. This is not protected speech.
-
Granted, but don’t take them literally. They do it mainly to trigger, but incitement to violence should not be tolerated.

Don't excuse it.
-
I don't condone it, but I will certainly tolerate it because it's not incitement. How about you?

“Tolerate” when people talk of murdering & committing genocide? Tolerating that is the same as condoning. Tolerating it makes one complicit.

Michael, calm down, come to your senses: we must tolerate speech no matter how egregious. Civilization requires it.

You are mistaken about the basics of civil discourse.
