> Antisemites aren't a disfavored minority, the Jews they're hating on are.

Are you saying that:

1. the majority of the population of <Western European Country X> are antisemites

or

2. antisemites aren't disfavored

because I would say that both of these are false. Few people are antisemites, and antisemites are strongly disfavored to the point of having their speech made illegal - and "punch a nazi" is a meme.

Punch a Nazi isn’t just a meme, it’s a rule to live by

Right, which would imply that Nazis are pretty damn strongly disfavored.

Being a Nazi isn't a protected characteristic, nor should it be. As commonly understood, a marginalized minority involves traits someone is born with and cannot change, that do not harm others. Being an asshole doesn't make you a marginalized minority, it just makes you an asshole. You're welcome to disagree with this take. Samuel Alito thought KKK members deserved protection in a recent hypothetical that had him laughing about black kkk kids.
