First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Noone thinks nazism is a normal ideology, even though you obviously can not draw an arbitrary line there - in that case, you have to add in all equivalent ideologies, for example communists and islamists. Both of which without the slightest of doubts, can rival the bloodthirst of nazis (and as a group have committed no less heinous atrocities, in 'evil' nor scope (well, if only talking about recent history, islamists fall short in the scope-department)).
That's not the point though, the point is having a 'thought police' where some opinions and not others are forbidden and punishable offenses in and of themselves (if they act on it and commits criminal offences while doing so, that's another story). That's just the first step to dictatorship and authoritarianism, and there's no way in hell anyone can morally or legally defend it stopping at nazism only, once you go down that road. For some of us, we prefer a liberal society to what that would eventually result in.
A shitpost requesting equivalency using terminology common by right wing nutjobs to smear leftist Americans and I'm supposed to care in the slightest that you're claiming to be liberal? Feel free to change the descriptor to something more appropriate. There is no communist faction in the US, contrary to what right wing nutjobs claim. And it doesn't even matter because your entire point is fallacious in trying to equivocate between "communists" and wanna-be Nazis.
Edit: Hah! And you throw communist around like it's a standard insult. That makes this even better.
Freedom of speech and restriction of employer power should mean that your employer can not intrude and control your personal life just because he fan fire you for no reason and realistically there are no other job opportunities because your country is sh*t (applies less to the most advanced countries).
It means that you can write on your facebook "I am against corrupt judges" and you will not be risking an instant firing by your corrupt boss/employer because he is the one paying for those judges to be corrupted.
It means that you can tell your boss NO when he privately asks to spend an intimate weekend with your daughter in exchange for not firing you.
It means that you can walk out on the street and legally protest against government theft and massive amounts of taxes being stolen through government-private contracts and not risk being fired the next day.
It means that you are not forced to say you agree with what your boss/company is doing because you know you will be fired if you speak your mind.
It means you are not going to be fired because you refused to put your name (signature) on a contract that you know is illegal and corrupt (often when working for corrupt governments, your signature makes you the sacrificial goat if needed).
In the most advanced countries in the world you will never see or hear of any of these problems (or most).
In the sh*tholes it is the DAILY state of life that has not changed for decades and probably will not for many more to come.
I long for a day when someone guns down 15-20 Antifa terrorists. The only good Antifa is a dead Antifa.
