Why this is important:

Stew Peters is a far-right virulently anti-LGBTQ bigot who regularly uses his nightly “The Stew Peters Show” program, speeches, and social media accounts to promote white nationalists and antisemites and to spread wild conspiracy theories, bigotry, and calls for violence. Despite his bigoted views and unhinged rhetoric, Peters regularly manages to get Republican leaders, elected officials, and candidates for office to appear on his program. In addition, Peters has participated in ReAwaken America events alongside various Trump insiders and members of the Trump family.

      Just calling everything you don’t like “fascism” isn’t a valid argument

        I mean violently overthrowing the Democratic governments in service of white nationalism is pretty specific.

          And focusing on one specific issue is entirely ignoring the point. If you want there to be no legal difference between general speech, and direct incitement, you’re going to need a pretty fucking solid definition of “evil” you can work from when punishing people for harm not done. Because when idea rather than incitement is the line of the law, there’s very little difference between a genuine fascist and an anarchist both stating interest in overthrowing the government.
