Comment on Boy, 15, given official warning after saluting as neo-Nazis marched through Ballarat

It culminated in war and mass murder. Learn your fucking history.

You don't quite get how these things work, do you?
By the time things get to "war, mass murder, and violance", it is far too late to stop it. Nobody is in a position to stop it.
"war, mass murder, and violance" is the end goal of the Nazis and other hate groups. They are not content with merely voicing their opinion. They are not up for debating societal ideals. The only reason they might be handing out flyers on a street corner is so they can recruit people willing to Molotov synagogues or other gathering places of their targets.

Since you’re so eager to grant free expression to fascists, you probably don’t realise that if they get into power, the first thing they will take a way from you is free expression.
Go figure.
