\
\"We have social and legal norms, including \"don\'t punch people because their speech is evil, and don\'t punish them legally.\" Applying those norms is not a judgment that the speech in question is valuable, or decent, or morally acceptable. We apply the norms out of a recognition of human frailty --- because the humanity that will be deciding whom to punch and whom to prosecute is the same humanity that produced the Nazis in the first place, and has a well-established record of making really terrible decisions.\
\
You --- the bien-pensant reader, confident that sensible punchers and prosecutors can sort out Nazis from the not-Nazis --- will likely not be doing the punching or prosecuting. The punching and prosecuting will be done by a rogue\'s gallery of vicious idiots, including people who think that Black Lives Matter should be indicted under RICO and that it\'s funny to send women death threats if they write a column you don\'t like.\"
