Do you believe Alt-Right Neo Nazis should be listened to?

Do you believe Alt-Right Neo Nazis should be listened to?

Better yet do you think every fucked up ideology should be given a platform?

Do you personally give a full listening to when it comes from certain ideologies like say flat earthers or red pillers?

For me it’s no, no and hell no!

Freedom of speech should not apply to hatemongers. Fuck them and fuck anything they have to say.

[Theodarzna]

Well unless you intend to kill them I doubt you'll have much of a choice other than to hear them out.

[gyrados]

That depends do you mean someone is a nazi if they disagree with you?

[Aeula]

Listened to? That’s up to the listener.

Speak? Yes. Speech should be free. Legitimately free, not just a pinky promise that the government won’t cover your mouth or cut out your tongue but are still free to throw you in a small windowless cell if they don’t like what you have to say.

Here's some American Nazis holding a rally back in 1930, if you look closely between the George Washingtons you can see the swastikas.

[Sci Fi Samurai]

'Listened to' and 'allowed to speak' are two separate things. I think this poll could be better worded.

Regardless, I believe in free speech, and I also think bad ideas need to be allowed to be heard so they can be defeated more easily and quickly.

[The Penguin]

The poll has too broad a statement to be considered a fair one and so I cannot vote either way.

If by listened to, do you mean heeding their rhetoric and agreeing with it as if that was my own viewpoint? If so my answer must be no.
If by listened to, do you mean giving them a platform and equal opportunity to express their views legally? If so my answer must be yes.

Of course. Nazis and Antifa. Listened to and argued, with civility not violence, to illustrate the faults of their ideas and strengthen our understanding and convictions of ours.

Exactly. It's their right to have a platform. Same way it's our right to have one as well.

If we beat Nazis or Antifa with anything, it should be with facts and logic. Not with baseball bats. We can also boycott and refuse to do business at places they own as that is our right as consumers. However on the flip side it is not the right of entities like Paypal to refuse them basic services required to do business in turn. It is not the right of Google to deny a platform to apps they deem hateful. The reason for this, is that right belongs to individuals not companies and corporations.

[Nasuuna]

listened to, discredited in conversation, and shut down with facts and experience


not shove them into a corner and let them be a festering wound

[Banshee Prince]

This title is offensive to deaf people, please change it.

[Grimbold21]

Your real question is if they should be allowed to transmit their messages.

Listening is a choice.

[Dragon Claws]

Just because they're alt-right doesn't make them neo nazis. The alt-left made the alt-right.

[satimy]

There are less than 5000 neo nazis in the USA. There are no 10x that in the Nation of Islam alone and blacks make up 1/6th the population of whites. So black people are 60x more likely to be in a hate group. Why are the neo nazis getting all the attention? So are so insignificant and small? But it fits the left wing medias narrative

[Deleted]

No - why would you listen to people that don't care about human rights and sacrifice it to foolish fears and prejudices? Their rationality is build on a barbaric/bestial image of humans not shared by any science or philosopher because it's absurd and totally wrong.

That's the reason their "beliefs" will never be taught at any university. They are wrong even from a natural science perspective.

[Saverem]

NO to Alt right and NO to Antifa (which are the left's version of the Alt right).

[Sormine]

I put no but /pol/ memes are some of the best ones around.

I feel really bad about your poor taste in memes

[Shiny212]

Of course not.

If we have to listen to liberals insane ideas such as: Tax people who earn a good living into oblivion, ban guns, ban (or heavily tax) powerful engines, affirmative action, no profiling (when it has been proven profiling works...check NYC Mayor Giuilanni era. Often times if you look like a criminal you are one) no kicking out illegals, etc etc, then why can't we hear the crazy ideas from a bunch of bald white tatooed guys? Ban all crazies from speaking (which would mean liberals) or let everyone speak.

Me too friend.

[ujx]

Keep perpetuating the narrative that neo-Nazis are some huge organization that is a real threat. They are a couple thousand imbreds who have killed one person in the last year.

[Azadina]

Just because they're alt-right doesn't make them neo nazis. The alt-left made the alt-right.

Spreading some alt-reich false propaganda are we? Alt-right as a term was invented by neo-nazi, to describe him and his followers. That is a fact. "alt-left" was not invented by anyone on the left, but by said alt-right to describe practically anyone to the left of al-qaeda.
