No… they used it correctly. One of the definitions of irony is a clash of expectations. The Nazi flag is a symbol of fascism, and fascism is a form of government that suppresses free speech. So a person embracing Nazi emblems for the sake of free speech would qualify.
You can be a “free speech” advocate without having one iota of Nazi sympathies. I’m all for free speech, particularly people like Nazi sympathizers. It lets us know who they are, where they are, the people they associate with, and if needed, who needs severe ass beating. Having “free speech” doesn’t exclude you from the consequences of using “free speech.”
Hate speech is unacceptable. Hijacking government to enforce some particular religion on everyone else is unacceptable.
If you don’t like gay marriage, don’t have one, and leave it at that.
You have no valid argument Against Gay Marriage. Every single argument you have boils down to “because someone said so”, which is authoritarianism. Yes, even that argument. Maybe this will eventually be replaced with an exhaustive list. Or maybe you will have to do your own homework.
if you came here in earnest hoping to network and take action and rally against gay marriage:
Shame. It’s what you should be feeling, at this moment.
If you came here against gay marriage, and now aren’t experiencing shame, there’s something deeply wrong with you, and likely with the culture you exist in. Something deeply damaging and dysfunctional, something against personal freedoms, liberty, and equality. That’s the truth. That’s something you were never told enough.
And because you were never told that enough, you are now a footsoldier of fascism.
Don’t like that? Good news: the choice is yours to change yourself.

“Free speech” advocates tend to have Nazi sympathies. They just want the ability to use hate speech without facing the consequences.
