So i draw the line before war, mass murder, and violance u obviously draw it before free expression.
By the time things get to "war, mass murder, and violance", it is far too late to draw lines. Nobody is in a position to stop them at that point.
"war, mass murder, and violance" is the end goal of the Nazis and other hate groups. They are not content with merely voicing their opinion. They are not up for debating societal ideals. The only reason they might be handing out flyers on a street corner is so they can recruit people willing to Molotov synagogues or other gathering places of their targets.
They are not honest participants in political debate or have any real interest in politics besides gaining and retaining power they can abuse for their own ends.
They are not just voicing an opinion. They are always gearing up for violence.
Since you're so eager to grant free expression to fascists, you probably don't realise that if they get into power, the first thing they will take a way from you is free expression. And they won't stop there.
Go figure.
