This stuff is tricky. For an event I personally organized, here's how I would handle it: MAGA hat is okay. Nazi imagery is not okay, remove it or I'll kick you out. Snatching another attendee's clothes is not okay, there are staff for a reason. So I'd kick them out too.https://twitter.com/UR_Ninja/status/1020705737826349058 …

I'm torn on whether having participated in Unite the Right is an automatic disqualifier. Depends on the event and the context, I guess.

Defend to the death your right to say it, blah blah blah, but aggro people can easily ruin everyone else's experience...

For the record, re: codes of conduct in general, I favor having a blanket "don't be an asshole" rule and then adjudicating that on a case-by-case basis. Detailed CoCs are mostly about signaling; they tend to be enforced the way I described. (For example, that awful npm employee.)

I think "don't be an asshole" definitely precludes *bragging* about having attended Unite the Right. So if that part is accurate, in the hypothetical world where I'm in charge, I'd tell the guy to get out.

Does a Mao shirt get the same treatment as a Hitler shirt? At a conference, yes. At a party... debatable. I think then with *either* a Mao or Hitler shirt it would depend on how they reacted when confronted. Sincere or edgelord?

Like at a party if I called out someone's murderous dictator shirt and they said "oh shit I'm sorry, I didn't realize it would upset people" and then put on a jacket, I wouldn't make them leave. Whereas if they were like "lol that offends you, loser?" I would eject them.

1.4 billion people live under Maoist rule. Much though I like the even-handedness of the comparison, this makes it different. You can literally buy a Mao T-shirt at the Forbidden City.

Replying to @djinnius
Yeah I agree, and there's a Keynesian beauty contest aspect to say a swastika (at least in American culture) that there isn't to the hammer and sickle
