Comment on I am not promoting death or killing but are the countries where they are freely allowed to kill nazi's? Kind of like in some parts of Africa are allowed to kill poachers?

Not sure. Criminalizing a way of thinking is a pretty dangerous thing to do, at least for a society that is based on freedom. So maybe there are other countries that are like, authoritarian where something like that may happen?

To my knowledge, the only place where promoting Nazi beliefs or imagery is illegal is in Germany, for obvious reasons.

I think, at least for a while, in the Philippines it was legal to kill anyone on / selling drugs. Their president at the time even paid hit squads to go find people to kill.

Also, I know plenty of Texans who consider Nazi’s to be anyone of a more liberal mindset than them, and stand your ground laws are pretty robust there… Nevermind that the 2nd amendment was actually for keeping people like trump from ruling…

  Perhaps. But wasn’t it the Philippines that had a known corrupt official running it? I mean, all politicians are corrupt, but IIRC that guy was like extra corrupt. Or maybe it was the one before him?
  
  Stand Your Ground laws basically don’t apply when the investigation reveals that it was not an act of self defense. Even if the other person was a horrible person like a sex offender, you might maybe get a more lenient sentencing of crime of passion. But murder is still murder.

    The person in question is Rodrigo Duterte
    
    I’m not sure but even there the law didn’t allow for civilians to kill drug dealers/users. I believe it was only police who were allowed to do that.

Careful.

Being Nazi is not just a belief like any of the usual political beliefs. It includes being ready to use violence and many other terrible / illegal methods to get your goals.

A way of thinking that, when granted power, criminalizes every other way of thinking and discards freedom 100% of the time… That countries don’t actively do something to prevent its prevalence works like a crack in the foundation of the freedoms they enforce. I’d not suggest legalized contextual murder like this op is asking about, but a clear outlawing of an ideology that brings nooses and book burnings with it, definitely.
