Can the downvoters give a reason. I like hearing from those who disagree with me.

Sure, but this is political and will probably exceed the HN mandate.

There's literally nothing we can do to stop these disgusting examples of humanity. Rational discourse is predicated on the idea that your opponent isn't purposefully lying. They are.

So leaving them in the sunlight accomplishes nothing, while driving them out of the public sphere while not destroying them, at least helps us as a society set a 'this is where tolerance ends' boundary. That has to exist somewhere, and Nazism is clearly beyond that.

As for making them martyrs, they already cast themselves in that light, and their supporters already see them as that. I don't think losing a web domain will drive the common man into their arms unless they were looking for an excuse.

If your goal is to establish a clear societal tolerance boundary then you need a far better understanding of history.

People downvote for a variety of reasons. In this case, one reason may be that you copy-pasted an earlier comment, which is generally frowned upon on HN.

Martyrdom requires sympathy. Who is sympathetic to the goals of a gang other than gang members?

People who think gang lifestyle is cool?

What do you think the entire african american gangsta rap culture is?

Most people who buy their content aren't african american either.
