But Naziism isn't a particular flag or moustache that everyone feels reflexive intellectual disgust towards. It's a seductive ideology harnessing the reflexive disgust of large groups of people. It's not defeated by punching or shooting 'the bad people' but by moral humility and careful consideration of second-order effects at the ballot box.

No moral self-examination, disgust of the outgroup, arguing against private citizens' medical and bodily autonomy... does any of that sound familiar? What do you do when you realise you were the Nazi all along?

If they wave a Nazi flag, they are a Nazi. If you don't immediately kick them out, guess what?

There is zero excuse for any group to put up with it.

They do kick them out. Here's a video of them doing just that: https://www.facebook.com/CornwallBJJ/videos/986522782241975/

What would it take for you to have an 'are we the baddies?' moment? Is symbology all that matters in that regard?

As the news keeps going, there is more and more white power movements being tied in.

My original point stands, if you don't kick out a Nazi, your being absorbed into a Nazi movement.

Yes, damn that checks notes Zero Mostel! What a terrible person.
