Nope. The Nazis are those who would ban political speech of those with whom they disagree. The Far Left has turned into that which they think they are protesting.

Apple Threatens to Ban Parler From App Store as Twitter Bans Donald Trump

Why hasn't Apple banned the Twitter app - it's lousy with pornography, and I distinctly remember Jobs saying he'd never allow porn on the App Store on the day he announced it.
Apple also doesn't allow their Apple TV+ shows to show China in a bad light, so let's not act like Apple is some beacon of morality and proper thought.
It's all about banning wrongthink (conservative values, anti-communism, anti-China). That's it. Orwell warned us all.

Other platforms have moderation in place to keep that stuff off. Parler doesn’t. And for some reason you don’t like the idea of Parler being moderated to keep threats of violence off the platform.
Again, hate speech, racism and calls for violence are not protected speech.
That makes him a Nazi? The Proud Boys aren’t a bunch of role models for sure but because he said a group of thugs that was started by a Hispanic guy were “fine people” that makes him a Nazi? 🤣 I guess we just have different ideas of what Nazis do. 🤷🏼♂️
Lots of right wing conservatives in this thread defending free speech with violence. Not only should you be silenced but you should also go back to your backwood cesspits.
You're being willfully blind:
Trump Calls the News Media the ‘Enemy of the American People’ (Published 2017)
Even from a president who routinely castigates journalists, the president’s Twitter post was a striking escalation in his attacks on the press.www.nytimes.com
Trump praises a Congress member for body-slamming a reporter
“Any guy who can do a body-slam ... he’s my guy.”www.vox.com
You're suggesting the act of inciting violence is fine because "there will be radicals that will always take it further, but ultimately people are responsible for their own actions". Are you next going to tell the victims that it's their fault because they deserved it?
No. I am NOT willfully blind. This is from the transcript of Donald Trump’s speech. This part seems to be ignored, as is the norm with media picking and choosing what they want people to see/hear. What part of that is him inciting people to riot?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with people asking government to hear their voices and do what they believe to be be right, but you cannot control people. That has been proven many times over.
I will not read most media accounts of anything, and believe it to be so. Everything is manipulated, parts picked and chosen, etc.
Donald Trump: (18:16)
We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections, but whether or not they stand strong for our country, our country. Our country has been under siege for a long time, far longer than this four-year period.
Twitter is lousy with porn? Really? I need to get an account.
China is business, not political. China has the right to ban whatever they want, and Apple complies to keep the cash flowing. Nothing liberal or conservative about it.
The whole "we conservatives are such victims" narrative is getting tiresome.
Just saw some footage of an officer being crushed in the door. Seems to just be hitting mainstream, but I don’t recall seeing anything like that during the summer protects.
Google “officer crushed in door capitol”
Google “officer crushed in door capitol”
Yet they sure seem to be when they are coming from the radical left.
“Protestors should not let up.”
-Kamala Harris
“If you see anybody from that Cabinet [Trump] in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they are not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
-Maxine Waters
“I just don’t know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be.”
-Nancy Pelosi
Speaking of parts picked, you seemed to cherry pick Trump's speech quite nicely. But if you listened (or could stomach) the WHOLW speech, it all wasn't so "peaceful" and continued the lies that the election was stolen.
Doesn't make them Nazis, but they sure act like fascists, which is defined as people who value dictatorial and complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
I guess Timmy has learned a lot kissing Communist ass in China.
Who has a secret China bank account, paid more to China in taxes than to the US and has children with multiple Chinese patents, gotten way sooner than most can get them and has all their crap made in China?
It ain't Timmy.
If you think this wasn't an attempt to overthrow a legitimate election i.e. an insurrection/coup etc. You are dead wrong.
They came prepared with zip-tie handcuffs for congressmen and women and they were armed. But the craziest thing is how clear the intent was. Most of this was well organized openly on Parler/Twitter and various other social media websites/forums.
This is not a freedom of speech issue.

So it’s okay for some liberals to be extremely intolerant, but not okay for conservatives to be intolerant. Do you even hear yourself?
There’s nothing wrong with Kamala saying protestors should not let up. Protest does not mean riot, loot or destroy.
I do not support what Maxine Waters said or is condoning.
Same as Kamala. Everyone should be upset with people being killed by the police unnecessarily.
I think the general idea is similar to not shouting fire in the crowded theatre, whilst knowing someone will get trampled. I don’t really know much about Parker, except that it runs on Amazon web services & that if it’s used to plan any violent sh- I mean stuff, it is likely to suddenly not be running on Amazon web services. Thems the rules 🍸🐈 all you have to do is read the fine print🍸😹
Better yet, have them rounded up and have our mighty US government deal with them.
Because in the summer we were trying to defund them for doing their job. Now we’re trying to praise and enshrine them for doing their job. I only see one difference. We want to defund the police when they kill unarmed black people who are in the process of committing crimes or shortly thereafter and we want to praise the police when they kill unarmed white people when they are in the process committing crimes or shortly there after. It’s a clown world we live in.
Being willfully blind means that you're picking and choosing what to believe. You literally just said "Everything is manipulated, parts picked and chosen, etc.", and yet choose to ignore the calls for violence that Trump has fomented for the last 5 years.
Also, your selection of that quote is a hilariously poor choice:
"We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated."
He spent the last three months encouraging electors to overturn the results of the election:
In recorded call, Trump pressures Georgia official to 'find' votes to overturn election
U.S. President Donald Trump pressured Georgia's top election official to "find" enough votes to overturn his defeat in the southern state, according to a recording of the hour-long call published by U.S. media on Sunday.
Despite Trump pressure, Pence will not block Biden's election certification: advisers
Despite pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to help overturn his election loss, Vice President Mike Pence will stick to his ceremonial duties and not block Wednesday's certification by Congress of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, advisers said.
Like many others in this thread, you're simply arguing in bad faith.
The poster wasnt justifying or excusing one view or the other. Just making an observation.
Did I hear myself say it's Ok to be intolerant? No. If you heard that, you didn't hear me. I said both sides can be intolerant, one side less so and one side more so.
I don’t think that would go how you think it would. I’m here to tell you right now that if everyone at the MAGA rally or even a very small portion (like the number that ascended on the Capital) wanted to still be in the Capital building. They would still be in the Capital. There would be much bloodshed on both sides and it would be terrible. Please tell me again who is trying to promote violence? It sure sounds like you are. Maybe we should ban you for it. Lock your account and take away your ability to express your views of rounding up people that think differently than you. Weird how familiar that sounds. Please tell me again who the fascists are?
