And that's something that is worth being arrested over. But if someone claimed to be a Nazi and didn't do any of that stuff, they shouldn't be arrested just for associating with people who do those things. That my point. Because that's a slippery slope. Some governments that I believe to be corrupt have already made beliefs illegal that I personally don't believe should be. Specifically for holding a religious belief. And then they are rounding up people that I believe to be innocent and put them in forced labor camps. I believe this is too real of a possibility of a government has a history of doing this, what's to say they won't also do it to a belief you have? We can all agree Nazism is bad. But what if a government decides leftism is bad and all leftists should be arrested? Even if you have don't nothing but sit at home and hold those beliefs, you might still be arrested.
