Gatekeeping I can get behind.

I can't. It would be easier if I could but no. Human life is sacred, even and perhaps especially the worst and least among us. If a man repents from his evil ways, did his life only gain value when he does so? Does not the potential of his life after he forsakes such hate and awful views and beliefs also have intrinsic value?

Like hate on Nazi's and what they stand for all you want, I sure do. But a singular belief or act does not remove a human beings value and meaning. It dulls it, it prevents it from shining through, it harms, limits or stops the positive impact it could have. But renders it mute? No.

Now that said? The kinder interpretation of this is "Yah, you don't need to give Nazi's room to speak, or care about their voices being heard or concerns being addressed." On that, I agree on. Your life has value and should be respected, your beliefs might have none and deserve no respect.

I'm not for giving Nazis or others like them a voice, a platform or the time of day. I'm just not for dehumanizing them to the point of condoning their murder and torture either.
