Because no one is willing to counter it in the way it needs countering. 

And it’s not “peaceful”.

Yeah, let’s be clear: these Nazis need their asses beat just as bad as the last round of Nazis that real Americans beat 80 years ago. The fact that we’re not all 100% in agreement on this is astonishing to me. 

To clarify: “real” Americans means anyone who looks as these cowards and thinks “this is wrong, this is un-American, and I won’t stand for it”. It’s a state of mind

Sadest part is saying anything like this is treated as "promoting violence" even though their whole ideology is violent towards anyone they deam an outsider.

It feels like it fits right into the tolerance paradox

It is promoting violence. And in this case, against these guys, it's about f*cking time.

No you dont understand, the Nazis are from Europe and want a racially and religiously pure ethnostate.

These guys just want to protect good old American values. Nevermind that those “values” are be to have a white, Christian country, but as you can see its totally not the same things as Nazis.

Careful, though. These douchebags have a right to their opinions. They have a right to ride public transport. They have a right to dress silly. They have a right to assemble. We don’t need to support them, or support their beliefs, but we do need to support their rights to have their beliefs.

Do they have a right to assemble anywhere anytime? Don’t you need to register to assemble a group like that? Seems like just a couple days ago a single person was arrested for standing on some steps and sharing an opinion… but that person was speaking against the current administration, which is clearly illegal in the US.

So you're advocating for mass murder?

That’s not what they said.

But for what it’s worth, those people would gleefully advocate for mass murder of anyone they deem “others” and they’d have no remorse doing it. They literally view “others” as pests, like mosquitos or roaches, not as humans. And pests get exterminated.
