    Can someone elaborate a bit on why deplatforming or criminalising Nazis is the best option? I imagine there would be some negative effects, like not knowing who the Nazis are or if there's extra appeal to an extreme ideology when it's illegal. I tend to be very pro free speech if you couldn't tell, but I'm willing to change my stance on this

      Because Nazism leads to genocide. It's not protected by freedom of speech in Germany. Guess why? They learned this lesson before.

        Yeah you're right I guess it could just be a part of hate speech laws, thanks

            if you want to clear out Nazis deplatforming is the right choice

            Putting them on a small, elevated platform, giving them some form of support (around the neck area in particular), then rapidly removing the platform is the best choice in my opinion

            Right sorry, I wasn't able to connect the dots. That makes sense, I've always thought of it as "they'll just go somewhere else" to their own echo chamber, 4chan or whatever, but we've lost a ton of active members
