I'm sure you already know and are asking as a way to point it out, but for anyone who doesn't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words.

Does this person actually buy into the nonsense, though, or are they just being provocative? Both are reasons to mute someone, but only one is ideological.

Yep, just pointing it out. It's like a completely unironic version of that joke:

> Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views > > Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes? > > Con: LOL no...no not those views > > Me: So....deregulation? > > Con: Haha no not those views either > > Me: Which views, exactly? > > Con: Oh, you know the ones

"Oh no, I keep getting kicked out of places for throwing around neonazi references"

Well, don't be a shithead and that won't happen

Censoring views you don't like doesn't make them go away. Trump won.
