      This IN NO WAY stops free speech or freedom of expression. Nazis should be punished PERIOD. And not advocating genocide should be EASY AS FUCK to do.

            No. History tells us that we need to confront fascism – which is what this legislation absolutely does.

              1. Can you even properly define and identify fascism?

              2. You can confront it without curtailing the freedom of speech.

              3. This legislation does nothing of the sort.
