Being anti-nazi shouldn't be political or controversial

It isn't controversial. The only people who would be offended by it are Nazi's. In which case, if anyone here IS a Nazi, kill yourself. Other than that, I don't think there are any Nazi's here.

Now, I imagine since this website is so right leaning, there are probably some Nazi sympathizers, which imo, is still wrong, but doesn't make you a Nazi.

Left wing people have made a habit of muddying the waters by referring to Trump supporters Nazi's. However, it should be clear that while Neo-Nazi's may prefer Trump's platform of complacency over whatever the Democrats offer, it does not make every Trump supporter a Nazi. It's not a mutually exclusive thing.

That being said, this country is founded on free speech which allows Nazi's to exist in the US. Eh, while I myself believe free speech is a bad idea, it's what this country is so we can't exactly go hurting Nazi's we see. That leads to sympathy of them

???

Forgive me but I'm completely baffled by this. Might I ask why?

IMO free speech is the biggest cornerstone of a free and prosperous society. Short of threatening words, ALL speech needs to be allowed. If they are truly horrible ideas (as are the ideas of Nazism, and hell Fascism/Communism in general for that matter), then they will be naturally marginalized and defeated in the free marketplace of ideas as the majority of well meaning people will reject them. Without free speech we are at the whim of oppressive people/governments who feel they can oppress and silence you through force simply because you have the wrong beliefs/ideas. To me that leads to a spiral of self-destruction, and in many ways represents the very characteristics of Nazism ironically..

This is why I despite Antifa fascists because they are starting to implement these tactics.
