> Yep, that’s the definition of a Nazi, one who wears a particular set of symbols. You absolute fucking moron.

> Obviously I’m going to defend the right of neo-Nazis, or anyone else with ridiculous, objectionable views (such as yourself) to hold and express those views _because_ I’m not a fascist. I’m not going to threaten or use violence against people because of their views precisely because their views - which include doing those things - are wrong.

> I don’t _sympathise_ with neo-Nazi’s, fascists, white supremacists, and so on. I _pity_ them. They are sad, pathetic people who have no understanding of how the world works, no clue why their own lives are so miserable, and are lashing out for someone to blame. Interestingly, they are the precise same reasons I pity you.

> If you are still trying to call me a nazi, you should probably try reading my posts, even just the ones in this thread. Strong support for free speech, strong support for the right to be judged in court, not summarily, and strong support for gay rights. Not so much in this thread, but also a general support for capitalism. All the opposite of nazi values.

I wonder who we should believe?
