A society that doesn't know what a woman is; a society that approves the falsification of birth certificates; a society that prosecutes people who use the “wrong pronouns”, and all the malarkey about the scientific impossibility of sex change, probably shouldn't be making laws on anything. Rather, that society should question if it still has the right to exist.

History tells us that empires, societies and civilizations fail and disappear. The nonsense going on in Western civilisation right now has many of the characteristics that wiped out previous civilisations.

If we are willing to label Hitler as a sub-human zealot and
ban his regime's symbols and acts then we should also ban
Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, the Ku Klux Klan, and many others
who not only preached hatred but also acted upon their
evil ideologies.

Where do we draw the line, and who and how do we select who and
how to ban? Once we start banning - where do we stop?

Many questions need answers. Should politics be left out of our
decisions?

"Western Civilisation" has become a misnomer !
The simpledoms ban a salute yet allow a Religion to openly state that it's goal is to do away with all others by way of death !
Who are the stupid ones again ?

Having this little nutty Nazi running around the place giving the old "Sieg Heil" to everyone is not the problem. The problem arises when extremest try to infiltrate moderate political parties, and that has been evident in Australia, I recall the 'Ugly Faction' which came to prominence within the NSW Liberal Party post WWII. These people were Ex-Nazi refugees from Eastern Europe who wanted to establish Nazism here in Australia, and they seen the Liberal Party as an ideal vehicle to further that aim. More recently an official of the One Nation Party went to America seeking funds from right wing extremists to propagate their extreme ideology in Australia.

WOW! With the Queensland State Election only a couple of weeks away. I've met all 6 candidates for my electorate. The ON candidate is a little screwy but relatively harmless, and I like him personally. I discovered who is running for the Family First Party, I know him well, a true religious crazy, but that's democracy. My good friend "Little Buddha" is running as an Independent, failed to become the "Lord Mayor" in March, now seeks to become "Premier" in October ha ha, if that fails there's always the "Prime Minister" job next year, and who knows "Secretary General Of The UN"..."President" of US, doing well my boy! BTW "Little Buddha" got 12% at the council elections, better than some. At least he's a trier!

We used to live in a free country with freedom of expression. But the authoritarians, having tasted the power of suppression during the lockdown debacles, now want to enforce their version of freedom on the rest of us. You are free to say anything you like so long as they approve of it.

Only nutters who have no traction in Australian society want to glorify the Nazis. Its wrong to force them underground since that's where they metastasize Much better that they be allowed to practice their ideology in public where it can be challenged. And if you have no arguments to challenge it, then you need to think more. But the authoritarians always reach for the censorship first because they haven't the wherewithal to actually mount a valid counter-argument.

Meanwhile the vast majority sit back and cheer on the censors.

First they came for the Nazis, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Nazi....

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Martin Niemöller

Banning will only make them more determined and stronger.
We need to think of the consequences of banning.
