    That’s true. I guess you could argue any of it could potentially be for educational purposes. You’d need to collect evidence on how the items are being used, as well.

    That kind of nuance is something angry mobs are bad at, so I agree with OP there. I just wish the actual government cared more.

      The human propensity for ignorance should never be underestimated; I can also see the possibility (to use an example product from the antihate article) someone somehow stumbled into buying shotglasses with norse runes on them because they thought they were cool, not realizing the broader context of the site. Is that likely? No, but again, people are really good at doing dumb shit. :P

      Agreed on all counts. We have due process for exactly this reason.
