I like to think so. I spend some time volunteering at an animal shelter, or rather, I used to, as their hours changed and they're not open during the weekend when I'm available. I pick up trash when I'm hiking and walking around in the evenings after work. I could do better, though.

They were denied a protest permit by the state and are promoting hate speech illegally.
Freedom of speech does not extend to hate speech.
They were denied the permit because organizers could not provide adequate insurance. That's all.

I'm sure other demonstrations and protestors would do the same thing if they were denied the permit.

And which policies would those be? Laws exist to prohibit violence, certainly, but not to prohibit policies from being put in place that erode or erase the rights of certain groups. Heck, Trump got elected after suggesting that Muslims should be registered to prevent Islamic terror attacks (which, fortunately, did not translate into actual policy).

The Nazi party did not start out by murdering Jews in the streets. They started by appealing to people who just wanted to Make Germany Great Again and pointing fingers at scapegoats. They didn't actually start hurting those scapegoats until they were in power and had convinced enough other people to be mad at them to not mind, by which point there were no longer laws or policies to prevent them from doing so.

Letting Nazis (and their ilk) speak unopposed is dangerous. Let them speak, sure, but make sure to tell them and everyone else in earshot what garbage they are for saying such things. Staying silent only gives them more power.
Antisemitic laws. Laws against the collecting, culling, and wholesale-slaughter of people based on their ethnicity.

I'm sure anyone born in the last couple decades knows what Nazis are like. You don't need to tell them anything.

Well, if you paid a little more attention, you might remember an obscure event called "World War 2" that happened largely because a bunch of Nazis were being Nazis and the rest of Europe decided to "be the bigger man" and "let them do their thing." And then a whole bunch of people got hurt and were sad and Europe realized they'd made a mistake, but by then, the Nazis had power and it was a whole lot harder to stop them.

When you let Nazis "do their thing," people get hurt. They might not be hurting anyone right away, but the ideology demands that they do, so any apparent peacefulness is merely a ruse to help them reach a position of sufficient power to do that. It is the moral responsibility of anyone that hasn't forgotten history to shut them down before it gets to that point. Permit them to speak, sure, but don't let them or anyone else forget that they are trash garbage, because if they do, that's when the problems start. Stamp them out before the infestation becomes entrenched.
Oh, you were referring to World War 2. Of course. You see, the difference between the events that led to World War 2 and today, is that we have policies and law enforcement agencies set up to ensure that large groups with followings like the National Socialist German Workers' Party doesn't happen again. But that's not the responsibility of the public. That's the responsibility of the federal government and law enforcement agencies.

Of course not, but they can't be held responsible for the actions of others. I could advocate for free ponies for everyone, but that doesn't mean we're all going to get a free pony. Now, if someone is inspired by them to do things, the responsibility and guilt lies with the person who committed these actions.

Calling people intolerant for hating nazis is like calling Luke a war criminal for blowing up the Death Star tbqh
Lolwhat?

Luke Skywalker and Han Solo blew up the Death Star because it was a threat to the Rebel Alliance and anyone who apposed them as they'd blow them up. There were no laws saying you couldn't do this. Anyone who disagreed with the Galactic Empire just died so they ruled with an iron hand. If anything, Luke would've been a vigilante - taking the law into his own hands.

These people are not doing anything to others, directly. You may be offended by them. You may think their approach, ideals, beliefs, or actions are dumb, wrong, insane, whatever, and you have every right to think this. But going to their protest, a right bestowed to them by the Bill of Rights and therein the United States Constitution, and creating drama just because you don't agree with them is just childish.

They're not going to magically or suddenly change their mind because you don't agree with them. If anything, you're adding fuel to their fire. Leave them alone. Let them do their thing and move on with your life.

This is a contradiction.

It's funny how different the opinions on this can be.
The majority of the brains inside eighteen year olds are still underdeveloped. Most stop developing around the age 25. Most teenagers act irrationally, impulsively, and immaturely. While, yes, a lot of adults still do act the same well into their middle ages and beyond, teenagers, especially eighteen year olds that just turn 18 are still pretty much kids. They just get the adult merit badge, but it doesn't mean anything unless they're in trouble with the law.
