Nazis are not a fragile endangered species who need you to be agonising over the nuances of their free speech

@Daojoan
Nazis are not at risk of losing their free speech or their right to assemble anyway. Nobody is taking that away.

But if you own a bar, you also have the right to say "I don't want Nazi speech *here*. I don't want them to assemble *here*."

What they're demanding is the eradication of that right to refuse to cater to them.

@jargoggles @Daojoan sounds like they enjoy forced labor for free . What if there was a way to force out the proponents of forced labor ?

@Daojoan

"If you meet with these historians, I'll tell you what to say, tell them that the Nazis never really went away. They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies, and we won't rest until the day that every Nazi dies..."

@jezebelkat @Daojoan Chumbawumba like the band!?

Chumbawumba, while being known for Tubthumping are not widely understood for their long history of political activism. Even Tubthumper is full of it. But it's less direct than their earlier work.

You may also be interested in the crossover track they did with Credit To The Nation, which is even more militantly explicit in its anti-fascism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD0Rf-N_FVE

@jezebelkat @Daojoan holy shit! Today I learned! ✊
@cferdinandi @jezebelkat yep!! they were actually an anarchist punk collective

@Daojoan @cferdinandi

"what radicalised you as a teenager?"

*holds up Chumbuwumba albums*

They once snuck into the Soviet Union, played a gig, and snuck out again. Just incredible.

@Daojoan @jezebelkat thank you so much for this fun little detour. Amazing!
@Daojoan Even if they are endangered I'd happily agree on them going extinct on this.
@Daojoan
I will gladly let them keep free speech if only people agreed with me that punching nazis is morally right.
