I'm not ignoring her right to be there.

You're not exactly mentioning it.

I have the right to attend or counterprotest a BLM or SJW protest, but I'm not going to go there because I have other things to do and also just don't care.

Would you be similarly critical of those who did care enough to do so?

Nope, but it's been 10-15 years since I've taken a class on 20th Century European History so I couldn't begin to tell you what I learned as I've phased it out of my mind. Care to remind me what I'm missing or forgetting and how it relates to 20th Century European History?

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.
