I support their free speech rights. I don’t know if I could convict someone of assaulting one of them.
They are not here to sway a political opinion on something small. They are there to incite violence and tear apart the country. They are a walking hate symbol.
Liberals are more comfortable with the world that exists in their heads. That following the “ideas” of democracy will end up for peace and prosperity for all. It’s why they get tricked into defending Nazis like this all the time. Their more concerned with the process than they are with the outcome. So they stand up and defend free speech in really obvious situations like this so they can grandstand on their false belief that the process works and will result in the best outcomes for all.
Even now, as that very process has lead to Fascism and Oligarchy they still think that the ideas are worth defending even though the world those ideas created is crumbling down all around them.
They have diluted themselves into thinking it just needs minor fixes and needs to be followed more strictly. So, they double down even further to protect the fascist based on following process. While, at the same time criticize the fascist and wave their fingers when the fascist don’t follow the process for others.
They will sit by and do this until one day they wake up and realize that they are just Liberals living in a fully fascist society that has run out of people to target and is now coming after them.

Who defines hate speech?
I really wish Americans would learn that free speech is an illusion that exists in their heads; and stop feeling like they have to defend white supremacist with this “right to free speech” line everytime these groups get together to start violence.
There is no such thing as free speech. It’s a cute little idea. But it only ever seems to be protected and spoken about to defend the existing structures of power and white supremacy.
It’s really just protection from the government. It doesn’t mean the things you say don’t have repercussions.
Tell me at which time in history free speech was protected in America?
Tell that to women, slaves, immigrants, communist, Japanese Americans during WW2, socialist, civil rights leaders, etc.
It’s a nice “idea” mate. But, it’s never been an actual thing that has existed at any time in American history.
You’re allowed your free speech for as long as the government does not see that speech as a threat to its power and status quo. Unions, civil rights activist, slave abolishonist, they were not allowed their “free speech” because people hearing what they had to say was seen as a threat to maintain the oppressive structures of Capital, white supremacy, and slavery.
Give me a decade in the last 250 years and I’ll give you an example of the government arresting or suppressing it’s citizens “right to free speech”.
It exists in your head as an idea we all like to thrive for. Sure. But it has never actually existed in application.
Burning American flags.
Saying “fuck Trump I hope he dies from botulism” and not getting my door kicked in.

These aren’t options available in many countries.
People have rights.
Sometimes rights are violated, and sometimes their rights have to be defended, or failing that, they have a right to awards for damages from the violators of such rights.
Under socialism, is speech restricted as per the terms of the party in power, or the Great Dear Leader?
Is a woman’s right to abortion subject to the needs of pro-natalist socialism?
Would it be just for 100 000 of, say, Uighurs who are counter-revolutionaries, or who are at risk at becoming counterrevolutionaries, to be sent to re-education camps to become the ethnicity of the group that is the most accomplished at enacting socialist policies?
Presumably that’s what Nazis believed/believe.
Hey you okay there on that slippery slope?
Supporting free speech while also supporting them getting punched in the face can coexist.
