So doing it at work is perfectly fine

Alright. Make me a video of you giving the salute to to your boss during work hours and we'll see how it goes.

Maybe he works at Tesla? Hell probably get a raise and employee of the month trophy.

Have you watched the news lately.

This thread is a fuckin roller-coaster of back and forths!

A fine works if it's a significant amount of the finee's net worth, but because fines are not scaled proportionally to finee's net worth (or even scaled at all) it's my opinion that these things just work as a paywall, including things like traffic violations.

You definitely can scale fines for income. We have that in Finland for more serious traffic violations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-fine

I just don't believe the severity of the crime here at the lowest end calls for a year in jail. A fine, a hefty one, would serve the purpose better.

He's a free speech absolutist- when it comes to his own speech.

Work like at a business open to the public?

The thing is this just makes it "cooler" among the Nazis because now it's illegal. It plays right into their persecution complex. It also opens up a legal morass of trying to define a hand gesture in court. To me this seems like it's fighting the symptoms and not the underlying problems.

I believe in the continual progress of human spirit

Good luck with that happening and allowing Nazis to be Nazis right out in the open.

Nazism, and I'm not sure why you don't know this, is the opposite of progress.

I do think it's funny that they accuse you of being mean one comment after they insult you.

It's a hell of a lot harder to join a hate group if you can't identify any members to find out who to sign up with.

Does your arm inadvertently do Nazi salutes or can you refrain from seig heiling in public like any normal person?

[email protected]

Acting like it's just any old salute is weird.

[email protected]

Curse you, Israel! How dare you get people to call those doing Nazi salutes Nazis in Australia with your... kabbalistic magic?

[email protected]

Are you equating doing a Nazi salute to parking in front of a fire hydrant?

[email protected]

What level of punishment is appropriate?

[email protected]

Your should've seen it before he edited the impulsively rotten childish comments like "baby philosophy" or something about de Bottons pop-philosophy videos. They're pop-sci on YT sure but for that format, rather good for the very basics and he covers a lot of significant topics, ideas and authors.

Burning a cross on someone's lawn isn't physically violent either. So I guess you're okay with it?
