Thankfully it is not significant numbers of people planning genocide. If
there were we would be in much more trouble than we are.

Groups like ironmarch, atomwaffen and many on Daily stormer certainly
appear to be planning genocide. One does not tag their publication "the
most genocidal republican website" if one is not interested in promoting
genocide.

...But of course that will be for a judge to decide. Not me.

I'm not trying to get people excited. I'm just stating the legal fact
that conspiracy to commit genocide, ethnic cleansing and to deny human
rights is not free speech. It's a crime.

Nonsequitur. One dead is too many.
