    This is just a slippery slope fallacy. We can agree to not condone literal Nazis without degenerating into calling vast swathes of the political landscape Nazis. Certain ideas simply do not deserve respect or consideration. If you want to have an “honest debate” about race science, I would rather have an “honest debate” about you jumping off a cliff.

      That is all fair. Social ostracization or rejection from voters is fine, and in many (if not most) cases warranted.

      But I think that is drastically different than calling for all Nazis to be jailed or executed, as some on the left would suggest. It’s a pretty bad loophole, as if there’s anyone or any movement you want to get rid of, all you have to do is call them Nazis, and into the incinerator they go.
