I'm not 100% agreed that "Whatever you use against Neo-Nazis will be used 'against the ones you love'." That's a slippery slope argument that I personally don't believe. Neo-nazis are such a different class of evil, that it's hard for me to see the same practices being used against someone who is not them.

You could say the same about digital surveillance of potential terrorists.

And that's a reasonable argument to make, I think. Someone using that argument could possibly convince me that there's enough to suggest these two cases are the same. This, and a few other comments are giving me some food for thought.
