I’m a civil libertarian. Hideous though it may be, Nazis should be allowed to march through Jewish neighborhoods.
But that’s different from Nazis going around on a subway screaming racial insults at passengers.
For many passengers that would make the subway unusable.
Remember this thread is ultimately about “why public transit is better than people having cars.”
Antisocial behavior is a disadvantage of public transit, and in some cases makes it unusable.
I think keeping this conversation focused around public transit is a good idea.

Are you sure you’re an ex-fascist?
For example: You're upset that Nazis marched through a Jewish neighborhood. Are you upset about the violent BLM protestors marching through White neighborhoods? I would guess not but there's little difference between the two.
I've moved to places to see if I thought the changes improved things, you learn a lot about yourself and the world by doing that.
