love like a sunset

hintele:

people get kicked off of planes for simply speaking arabic (one of the top 5 most widely-spoken languages in the world), and nobody gives a shit.

but when nazis are given public platforms to speak, harrass jewish people, lgbt people, poc, muslims, etc, we’re told “it’s just free speech! it’s not like they physically harmed you, you have no proof that they will!”

people are saying “all the real nazis are dead, you can’t be a real nazi anymore. they’re just neo-nazis or white supremacists.” JUST neo-nazis? JUST white supremacists?

these monsters are not “people with conflicting views.” they are advocates for VIOLENT ideologies that call for the extermination of enormous groups of people.

do not be complicit in putting at-risk groups in danger because you don’t know the difference between violent, dangerous rhetoric and an “opinion.”

nazi ideology is violent by virtue of being nazi ideology. nazi speech is not “just” words. it is representative of something absolutely deadly. it is not something that can be fought with words, or positivity, or civil discussion.

these movements do NOT come out of nowhere. the physical violence doesn’t come out of nowhere. it starts with them spreading their ideas, through speech and propaganda, framing it as “opinions.” do not let them fool you. if you allow them to spread their ideas, you are allowing them to move forward. you are complicit.
