Do you think it helps turn those that dislike you on your side? I think it removes the ambiguity. If you find laws that prohibit someone from being a literal Nazi disagreeable and would choose not to live in a state because of it because of 'free speech', that's fine. Just as I'd be fine for not living in Florida or Mississippi for the inverse of that reason.

what does the "zi" from "nazi" stand for? :) perhaps you should look inwards for similarities.

also, in what way does trying to make someone not be able to talk freely stop people from holding morally reprehensible views?
