      The *nicest* thing Nazis should expect to be offered, in an ideal "free speech" society, is they give up in frustration when they try to speak because no one will listen, and therefore stay silent No audiences, no publications, nothing but closed doors in their faces

      That was an ideal born out of hope that society had "learned its lesson" about them It was probably always unrealistic The more realistic way to deal with Nazis is for Nazis to stay silent because they're afraid of the consequences if they speak

      I don't care what the consequences are You can keep your precious First Amendment and have them be private sector consequences (mass public shaming and harassment, employment blacklist, social death) or you can throw them in prison Or we can skip straight to the shooting

      But the consequences have to exist If you are not the one driving the Nazis into silence through fear, they will be the ones driving you to silence through fear It is a zero sum game This is a lesson from history written in blood

      When you have a Nazi and you have nine liberals defending the Nazi's right to air his opinions and attract an audience and build his public profile in the marketplace of ideas, you have ten Nazis That's not even rhetorical, that's exactly how the Nazi movement grew

      "When you say this you're saying you have no confidence you can prevail in a fair debate in the marketplace of ideas" You are absolutely right I have no such confidence, at all, because I can look at the history books and see how such debates have repeatedly failed

      I am absolutely speaking out of fear and I think my fear is completely justified

      Am I also speaking out of anger? Anger is just fear that's gotten a little bit of room to breathe, that's been backed into a corner and managed to pick up a rock
