I just cannot get on board with locking people up for belief alone, no matter how heinous that belief may be. Action should only be taken as a response to action.

There are many ideologies that carry minimal to no harm against the average person.

Nazi ideology calls for the systemic erasure and genocide of everybody that isn't a Nazi and the ideal Nazi specimen.

While the Neo-Nazi may not be advocating for the endgame from the get-go, it is the ideological conclusion and any steps on the path only lead to it.

The Nazi must be met with resistance at every step, otherwise you let them go to harm or kill someone else another day. The ideology is incompatible with every major (Western, at least) system of governance and stated beliefs. If we let them go unchallenged, un-harangued, or otherwise free to go, they will use our existing legal systems to affect (small) changes that fit their endgame goal. In the moment it can seem whatever or "well it doesn't affect me" but make no mistake, they are coming for you.

It is not simply a matter of 'belief'. It is a matter of existence. The Nazi is taking action, by enacting laws that restrict the rights of small outgroups. We must hinder and fight them tooth and nail for every inch they take. For if we do not, they will have won.
