If you mean "we" as in the Nazi Sympathizers then, well they actually "we" want that 🤨
You have to understand that your opin ion is not better than anyone elses.
I don't think that the rally should be stopped. Stopping Nazis from preaching racism is no different than banning video games and music cause of what people fear it might influence others to do. Obviously if someone is going to act based on something they hear at a rally then they've either already had this view for a while or they are so easily influenced that it could've been anything that influeced them. I think that people need to take responsiblity for their own actions and stop blaming it on some shit they saw on TV or heard at a rally.

Why?
Heh, I was just faced with the decision on changing the laws regarding corporations and the amount of money that they can donate to political parties. Here was one of the stances I could take:
"Frankly, I don't see why we need to have elections at all," says your brother, Dave Trax, over a late-night malt whiskey. "You always seem to know what's best. Why not scrap the whole political system? It would make things so much simpler."

I disagree 🙂
Your far more stupid, your good at grammar, but you fail to recognise the fluidity of language.
U C WAT I M'N
Keep the faith 🙂

Fluidity, how it flows and changes with time, how dictionary's are often wrong because they fail to see how language of the world in the street is often ahead of the language they use. The language of the street is often not the language of the dictionary writer, they are not even restricted and elaborated codes in some situations they are just the now and the then.
- "aboot" "your", there's been a thread on how often I do this in the Comics forum - Its because I have several linguistic SPELD's Specific Learning Disabilities, doesn't stop me probably being better educated than you.

Elaborated and unrestricted codes? *Rolls eyes.* Sounds like somebody's reaching...

I was reading in the newspaper today about proposed anti-terrorist laws, and the proposal to ban literature that promotes hate, calls for the extermination of Jews, the butchering of infidels whatever... as well as this our Attorney General already has the power to make illegal political gatherings and groups that deal with things like terrorism and such...
And I wondered, why not Neo-Nazis? In some ways they have similar aspirations to certain terrorist group (only they aren't as widely known for terrorist acts.) Now nobody defends the rights for "terrorist" sympathisers to get together and go on about fighting the west or whatever, why do governments want to defend Nazi groups who go on about genocide and such? I know I'm generalising, and some would say "but the Nazi sympathises aren't using suicide bombers etc" which is true. They just have a tendancy to idolise figures who led the world into a terrible war and promoted genocide and the like.
So I say does the world need Neo-Nazis? No. Would the world be worse of if they, like terrorist sympathisers, were banned? No.
I am pretty liberal, but I think somethings can be done without. Gahhh, I really need sleep.

Technically, the only thing that can be restricted is where and when it takes place, I believe.Though obviously it'd stir up trouble.
There actually was a KKK rally somewhere in the Chicago area a few years ago, I believe 😖
They marched on Washington DC en masse back in the early 1920's. The government took no action, especially since they all ran away when it started raining.

Read your history, my friend. Hitler was a liberal. Taken to extremes, liberal thought lends itself to fascism. That is one reason I'm not a liberal.You might think I'm joking, but I'm not.
Current issue at hand:
The Issue
Several major city streets were clogged with bicycles this morning, as the environmental group 'Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels Bad' staged a protest. Several hundred riders ambled through downtown streets, blissfully ignoring the torrent of abuse hurled at them by thousands of motorists running late for work.
The Debate
"People are sick of dirty, smelly automobiles," said protest organizer Chastity Christmas. "They're choking the city, the environment--our lives! Cars must be banned!"
"The only thing people are sick of is long-haired idiots riding their bicycles at two miles an hour on major thoroughfares," says committed motorist Stephanie Silk. "People shouldn't be able to protest like this. The government needs to crack down on them."
The Automotive Manufacturers Association, meanwhile, has called for government support. "It's clear that we need to boost the level of automobile support in this country. This protest this morning is a clear indication of... um... anyway, we need more government funds."
Uh, so I get screwed no matter what. Ban all cars, which is retarded. Cancel all protests--which is what I'm leaning towards, simply because I find protests that hamper other people unacceptable--as the game will take whatever I do to the extreme. Or I can hand out money to the automotive industry for no reason whatsoever.
No way to increase funding to design cars that are less polluting? *Sighs.*
Yay, I'm Hitler Lite.

I'd say it's more socialism that links the political sphere back to fascism.
If you go too far left, you end up on the right.
Although I know the US conception of liberalism is slightly different.
