I have never, and will never tell anybody to not listen to a person on account of his or her views.

After my years of free speech advocacy, it seems odd that I have to say this.

I'll listen to everybody. I'll encourage everyone to listen to everyone else until the day I die.

A component of free speech is the verbal retaliation.

Yes, I have made the apples to apples comparison between the Nazis and Hamas. That's harsh; but, I'm right. They're both dictatorships that wanna kill Jews.

I'm not making the comparison because I want to silence the pro-Palestine people -- I've already posted about that. I'm not comparing Hamas to the Nazis to shame people out of listening to them.

I'm just making the comparison because I'm right.

Other people -- almost exclusively on the left -- call people who are slightly to the right of AOC "Nazis" in order to goad people out of listening, hearing, and possibly agreeing with something that the people have to say.

That is not, has never been, and will never be, my intention.

I think that we should listen to Nazis. I think that we should always listen to the worst of us to be reminded why they are the worst of us.
