[flagged]

There was a video of them kicking out some dude with a confederate flag. I’ve only seen the Nazi flag in a couple pictures and seemed like it was never in the middle of the rally.

If you’re trying to discredit a group of people it’s pretty low hanging fruit to send people in with a Nazi flag for great photo ops to show the masses.

How do you eject someone from a protest? There is no ticket gate.

The accepted way is to point and chant "Fed!" until the person leaves on their own.

are you going to keep that same energy next time some dude walks in with a nazi flag at every single protest you care about?

Yeah. It's easy to kick Nazi's out of the groups I join, because so far no group I've ever been a part of has been attractive to Nazis. I would wager that's the case for most people.

What happens if a non-nazi goes to an event and flies a Nazi flag to cause people to think you are a nazi

The ACLU rather famously defended the nazi rights to free speech. Are they evil?

The paradox of tolerance is just an excuse to oppress the people you disagree with. Actual nazis are a minute fraction of the population. People see the idiocy and point it out.

Meanwhile, Communism has killed a couple hundred million people (vs 6 million for the nazis) and you can see tons of communist flags at any of the recent left-leaning protests.

The tolerance paradox doesn’t get even the thought of a mention when this happens. It’s just a tool of ideologically driven sophists.
